I love the [name_m]German[/name_m] pronunciation of [name_f]Annelore[/name_f]
“[name_f]Anna[/name_f]-lora”
But wondering if [name_f]Annelore[/name_f] will be too problematic to pronounce in the U.S.? I am ok with Annalore, but somehow not ok with Annalora, as the later looks like a “smoosh” name to me!
I am not familiar with the name so pronounced it [name_f]Anna[/name_f]-law. If you’re okay with correcting people on its actual ending, then go for it, it’s pretty. Some people may also pronounce it [name_f]Anne[/name_f]-law, but I wouldn’t change its spelling to suit them personally - they’ll learn!
I think in the US, its more likely to be pronounced “[name_f]Anna[/name_f]-lor” rather than “[name_f]Anna[/name_f]-lora”. I don’t love the looks of Annelora, however, it definitely doesn’t look made up, or “smooshed”.
I said [name_f]Anna[/name_f]-[name_f]Lore[/name_f] so if you are ok with correcting, then go for it!
I think in the US that it absolutely will always be pronounced AnnaLORA first and foremost. It would require a correction each and every single time.
First time I said it in my head it sounded like Anal-ore 
I know that’s not right and maybe it’s just me. But I don’t think I’d ever use it because of the possible Anal sound.
If you’re okay with people dropping the “uh” sound at the end, I would go for it. Most Americans aren’t going to be familiar with the [name_m]German[/name_m] pronunciation.
I think it is pretty! It would take one conversation, where Americans would say [name_f]Anna[/name_f]-LOR if they only saw the spelling, and you would say “[name_f]LORA[/name_f]” and poof-no problem!
Sorry! I came back because I felt I did something wrong and sure enough. I meant to say in the US it will always be pronounced as it looks. AnnaLORR. For sure.
It would most likely be pronounced [name_f]Anna[/name_f]-[name_f]LORE[/name_f] in [name_u]America[/name_u], but if you don’t mind correcting people so often, then I say go for it. Pronouncing it [name_f]Anna[/name_f]-[name_f]LORE[/name_f] instead of anna-[name_f]LORA[/name_f] isn’t, in my opinion, butchering the name which is good.
I pronounce it [name_f]Anna[/name_f]-lorr as well with a soft a sound. My husband looked at it and said anal-ore.
I’m familiar with the similar [name_f]Hannelore[/name_f] (oh, yes–I’d hate Hannahlora/Hannalora!), so I intuitively said ah-neh-[name_f]LORE[/name_f]-eh–even with that [name_m]German[/name_m] “R”!–but I highly doubt you could get most people to say it that way. [name_m]Even[/name_m] in my heavy-[name_m]German[/name_m] area of the country, I can almost promise you it’d get mispronounced. Which is a shame, because it’s gorgeous. Maybe use it as a MN? Unless you’re prepared to correct pronunciations every time you meet someone new, I think that’s the only option.
Good luck!
