HelpRe: Trying to name a girl
in reply to a message by Ismene
... I don't understand how a letter A can make the sound "EH".
In Dutch (the language where Maren is from) it's mah-ren, or so I have read. In Romanian (where they use boys' Marin) it's definitely mah-rin.
I can't understand either how Karen and Sharon sound like "mair" either. The vowels aren't even similar to me. They both have shot A vowels.
I think I must have a totally different accent to you ^_^"
I guess I'm all for pronouncing names correctly for the language they have come from, if the pronunciation is known and it's at all possible for the speaker.
