Does anyone know how to pronounce this name?
Kaori. It's Japanese. I was thinking Kay-OR-ee, but I'm not sure. Thanks in advance!Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

kah-oh-ree, with the vowels said quickly and no particular stress on any syllable. An English-speaker might mishear it as cow-ree, but it's three syllables.

I know in Japanese names they use different components so it would be Ka and Ori. I'm pretty certain Ka is said kah, and Ori is basically pronounced like you thought.
