Re: English pronunciations of Andrea
in reply to a message by Lumia
I agree AN-dree-a is the common British pronunciation. Just to confuse things though I did know of one woman here who pronounced it an-DRAY-a. I would have thought that AN-dre-a is most natural to people familiar with Andrew, whereas an-DRAY-a is natural to people familiar with André.

*A Riddle*
Whaur the fit has never been
It's there ye aye gang wi' it:
Whaur the e'e has never seen
It's there ye aye will see it.
Whan ye ken that it is near
Nane but yersel' will find it:
Whan it is nae langer there
Nane but yersel' will mind it.
