HelpA Pronunciation Question
How do you pronounce Jeanne? Does anyone pronounce it JEEN-ee, rather than JEEN?
It's my sister's middle name, we pronounce it JEEN, and it never occurred to me that anyone would pronounce it JEEN-ee. Yet I've taken calls from several women named Jeanne who have at first verbally told me that their name is JEEN-ee, leading to my surprise when they then tell me the spelling is Jeanne.
I wonder how common this is. Do you pronounce it JEEN-ee, or have ever heard it that way, or knew that it sometimes is pronounced that way?
