Comments (Pronunciation Only)

My name is spelled KAREN. I love the way people with a South African accent pronounce my name. It's very hard for me to replicate in English, but it's a cross between 'my' pronunciation (K-A (as in apple) -R-I (as in igloo)-N) and K-EAR-E (as in egg)-N). I smile every time I hear it!
'Ker-en'? I have always pronounced it 'Kaah-ren.' But, then again, my Brazilian cousin is called this and she pronounces in 'Kah-reen.'
My Danish aunt pronounced it KAH-ren. I've also known German-speaking people (Karin was their preferred spelling) who said it: ka-RIN.
