Help[Opinions] Pronunciation Website
This may be old news, but I found this website that has user submitted pronunciations of many names. And I mean MANY names. I haven't found one yet that isn't in there. The coolest thing is that for each name, you can listen to native speakers of many languages pronouncing the name.
I posted on another post that the name Gwenaelle looked appealing to me. Well, after listening to it, I've changed my opinion! It doesn't sounds nearly as pretty as it looks.

I've stumbled across that site a couple times, but never really bothered to search for other names! Thanks for posting this!
This one is a lot of fun to listen to: http://www.forvo.com/search/vercingetorix/fr/

Apparently I already had that in my bookmarks and forgot all about it because I probably didn't realize what it was. Thanks for posting this!

I was right about Gwenaelle pronunciation and still like it.
It's an old favorite and I knew of forvo for so long.

I am on that site alllll the time, haha. It's amazing! I couldn't find Júnia (or Junia) on there today but that's the first time a name I've looked for hasn't been on there.
I think I've listened to this one: http://www.forvo.com/word/apol%C2%B7l%C3%B2nia/#ca about 80 times. Gorgeous!

I've seen others post links to this site,but never bothered to look it over.
It even has my name there! This is great for all those people asking me how Croatian names are pronounced, and I can't explain it properly:-)

Oh, and for any name that isn't there, you can add the pronunciation yourself! I've been listening to names for the last 30 minutes. Muriel pronounced with a French accent is BEAUTIFUL! I'm stunned.
