Following along from my post in the girls name for forum…
If you’d like to share what country you’re from as well, it would be interesting to see how the pronunciations vary around the world.
How would you pronounce the following names?
I’m from the Eastern US

[name_m]Theo[/name_m] - TEH-o
[name_m]Lucien[/name_m] - loo-SYEHN

[name_m]Sebastian[/name] - se-BAS-chun (it’s not exactly a ‘ch’ sound but close enough…)

[name_m]Xavier[/name] - ZAY-vee-uh
[name_m]Wilder[/name] - WYE-yuhl-duh, I guess it could be two syllables if I was going fast.
[name_m]Hugo[/name] - HYOO-go

The Australian pronunciations are so inelegant
