I have heard the name [name]Olivia[/name] pronounced with an “A” ending sound instead of an “auh” sound.
Is there an alternate spelling for the alternate pronunciation or is it kinda like how some people pronounce [name]Anna[/name] “[name]Onna[/name]” but its still spelled the same?
I’m just a little confused is all.
Same spelling pronunciation would depend on regional dialect I guess. But I imagine both pronunciations are pretty interchangeable.
I was too when I heard Alyvvia is alternative spelling for [name]Olivia[/name]. I pn [name]Olivia[/name] Auleeveeuh.
Thanks it’s nice to know I’m not crazy
Not to sound silly, but was the child a boy? [name]Olivier[/name] would be pronounced rather like “oh-lih-vee-ay,” like [name]Olivia[/name] with an “ay” at the end. I’ve never heard [name]Olivia[/name] said with an “ay” at the end, though I have hear “Oh-lee-vee-uh.” That’s the only alternative pronunciation I know.
A as in father or A as in baker? The former is probably just a matter of emphasis, the latter is probably [name]Olivier[/name], not [name]Olivia[/name].
A as in baker and no they where most certainly girls both times I heard it pronounced this way.
