Hey trying to determine if this is too hard. [name_m]How[/name_m] would you pronounce Rannoch and where are you from?

2

[name_m]Ran[/name_m]-ick? From the Midwestern US.

3

“[name_m]RAN[/name_m]-knock” would be my guess.

4

Rah-nock but it’s a pretty shit name imo lol

5

I’m from the US and I’d pronounce it [name_m]Ran[/name_m]-ick initially.

6

I would say [name_m]RAN[/name_m]-ock or maybe [name_m]RAN[/name_m]-uhk, if I’m feeling lazier. I’m from [name_f]England[/name_f].

7

I’m from the Mid-Atlantic and would say [name_m]Ron[/name_m]-ick

8

I would pronounce it Rann-ock. with the och like I say [name_m]Loch[/name_m]. I’m Scottish so the ch sound comes out a bit guttural in words like [name_m]Loch[/name_m], [name_m]Enoch[/name_m] etc.

9

[name_m]Ran[/name_m] ick. I think it’s a handsome name

10

[name_m]Ran[/name_m]-ock. From [name_u]Texas[/name_u]. Cool name! However it’s supposed to be said, it’s simple enough that it could be easily corrected.

11

[name_m]Ran[/name_m]-ock, but I think like ella-bea I would also say it with a more gutteral end sound, like [name_m]Loch[/name_m] - so close to [name_m]Ran[/name_m]-och.

12

I’d say it exactly as @maerad described it.

I’m from [name_f]Canada[/name_f].

13

My guess would be [name_m]RAN[/name_m]-a
From [name_f]Canada[/name_f]

14

Like loch. I’m from the US, but lived in [name_f]Scotland[/name_f].

It’s actually on my middle name list!

15

[name_m]Ran[/name_m]-nosh or [name_m]Ran[/name_m]-nock, depends on what I’ve been talking about/saying before I see the name. I usually test the pronounciation in my head before I say it so whichever appeals to me at the time. I’m from Australia

16

Thanks everyone!! Super helpful actually! You’d be surprised how many people struggle with my daughters first name

17

[name_m]Ran[/name_m]-ock I guess, i’m from the NE united states. It sounds very…intergalactic…maybe that’s what you’re going for?

18

[name_m]RAN[/name_m]-ock is how I’d pronounce it and I’m from the US.

19

It depends on who I’m talking to. Were it an American I’d assume they pronounce it [name_m]RAN[/name_m]-ock but anyone else I’d assume it was [name_m]RAN[/name_m]-och (like loch).

So… what’s it supposed to be?
I knew someone with the name Darroch it was pronounced [name_f]DAIR[/name_f]-a
