Lately I’ve been seeing [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] and [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] a lot on this site, but since I’ve never heard them said out loud, I’m not sure how I should pronounce them. Can you describe me how you pronounce/feel like these names should be pronounced?
[name_f]TIA[/name_f]!
[name_f]JEN[/name_f]-eh-veev and [name_u]GWIN[/name_u]-eh-veer or [name_f]GWEN[/name_f]-eh-veer…depends on how lazy I’m being.
For reference, I’m in the US–edge of Southeast and Midwest. If you google [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] pronunciation or [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] pronunciation, you should be able to find audio clips from different places and how they pronounce the name if you want to actually hear them. =]
