HelpRe: A name for the fourth child
in reply to a message by Caroline
Ok that's weird. I've never known Caroline could be pronounced any other way but Cah-. Gotta say I'm not loving the sound of Care-oh-line. It's not as bad as Tair-uh (tear a what? What are we tearing?) but it's strange to me.
Not that I love all the Australian ways of pronouncing things either. -er always becomes -a in an Aussie accent and leads to things like Winta and Summah and Osca and Jaspa and Parka. It's almost enough to put me off using any -er/-ar names.

And, living in the US, I don't think of pronouncing Caroline as any way but CARE-oh-line.
