HelpRe: Thoughts on these names?
in reply to a message by mirfak
Han makes me think of 'Solo' too, but having met a few men named Han changed that. I never knew anyone under 40 with this name though, and I was wondering if it might deserve a comeback :)
Didn't know about the slang for Fender. I'm liking Fender less and less...
The second vowel in Sybrand isn't really a long draw out AH, but more a relaxed short version of AH. Can't really convey that with the tools here though. Sort of like the A in BAR, not like the A in VIVA.
Anemoon doesn't sound like Moon indeed. -OO- creates a sound in between the vowel sounds in "BOAT" & "BOUGHT", depending on the accent of the English speaker as well of course. So ah-nə-MAWN / ah-nə-MO:N would be correct using the BtN guide.
I'm not too sure on Sanderijn myself, I'm leaning towards Sandrine. I think I'd appreciate it if the gender thing was a bit clearer for foreigners.
