Re: Question:the pronunciation of "Irene" ?
in reply to a message by S
Here in Britain the usual pronunciation is EYE-reen with the stress on the first syllable. The only time I've heard eye-REEN is the character in the Australian soap Home and Away. I've not personally heard anyone pronounce it with 3 syllables but I'm sure there's a few.
