Re: Jerome and Marcel
in reply to a message by Joiya
I like them as a pair, they compliment one another. Do you pronounce Renard and Gerard with the stress on the second syllable? I say it on the first, but that could just be a feature of British pronunciation as opposed to American. Same applies for Bernard.

Another poster commented on this too. I do pronounce Renard as reh-NARD and Gerard as geh-rAHRD. Bernard would be ber-nard... neither syllable stressed over the other. I do know that some people say REY-nerd for Renard, and I believe they say gerr-erd in Ireland for Gerard.
