I’m in the US and most people I know pronounce the name [name_f]Elaine[/name_f] like ee-LANE, long E sound at the beginning. I tend to pronounce it closer to uh-LANE or eh-LANE.
So what about you? How do you pronounce this name and where are you from?
I appreciate all the feedback! I never really thought about there being multiple ways to pronounce [name_f]Elaine[/name_f] until just today. haha I am glad my favored pronunciations are used, though, and in the US. Won’t be so weird if we choose to use the name and use a slightly different pronunciation from those around us.
I appreciate the feedback. I had never considered there being multiple ways to pronounce this name before and wanted to make sure I wasn’t crazy in thinking there were. lol
