Re: Pronunciation - Should it be enforced?
in reply to a message by Elena
Interesting about Nadine. I've never heard of nay-DEEN before now, only nah-DEEN. Also, I always assume that Elena is ELL-en-a, but now that I think about it all (or at least most) of the Elenas I've met have been e-LAY-na... hmm..

Where are you from?the NAY in Nadine is primarily an American thing. I have never met anyone outside the US who says it that way.
ELL-en-a also seems to be a European pronunciation.
