HelpRe: Elke
in reply to a message by Llewella
To me, Elke is very common and pretty dated, so I'm not sure I can see it in another way. ELK-ee may very well be the correct Hebrew pronunciation (but to be honest, I doubt that it is) but to me it just sounds like someone trying to say Elke and getting it all wrong.
I don't like any of the combos you listed, because Elke is so Dutch to me that I can't imagine it with an English middle nam. They all sound off.

It's actually possible, I suppose, that her parents do pronounce it correctly (in Dutch). The only time I heard it said was from another adult teacher who I assumed already knew her.
