[name_m]How[/name_m] do you pronounce [name_f]Jacquelyn[/name_f] and [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f]?
Two or three syllables?
Three. [name_m]How[/name_m] would it be possible to pronounce with only one?
I meant two or three! Sorry pregnancy brain on this one haha
[name_f]Jacquelyn[/name_f] is three syllables, while I’ve seen [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] get reduced to two, ie. [name_f]Josslyn[/name_f]
I agree with ziggy2112, [name_f]Jacquelyn[/name_f] is three and [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] is 2.
I pronounce both with three syllables, [name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f] as jack-ull-in and [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] as joss-ull-in.
In my area [name_f]Jacquelyn[/name_f] is pronounced with two syllables: [name_m]JACK[/name_m]-lyn. [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f], on the other hand, is three: [name_u]JOSS[/name_u]-a-lyn.
[name_m]Jack[/name_m]-[name_f]Lin[/name_f] or [name_m]Jack[/name_m]-uh-[name_f]Lin[/name_f], and [name_u]Joss[/name_u]-[name_f]Lin[/name_f].
[name_m]JACK[/name_m]-lyn and [name_u]JOSS[/name_u]-lyn
Three syllables for both. I’d spell them differently (e.g., [name_f]Jacklyn[/name_f], [name_f]Josslyn[/name_f]) if I wanted them to be two syllables.
[name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f] is a difficult one because I use the two and three syllables interchangeably. [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] is two.
[name_f]Jacquelyn[/name_f]: 3 ie. [name_m]JAK[/name_m]-ə-lin
[name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f]: 2 JAHS-lin
Agree,
[name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f] -is usually 3 syllables /[name_m]Jac[/name_m] -que- lin/
occasionally hear 2 /[name_m]Jacque[/name_m]- lin/ ( trending [name_m]French[/name_m])
[name_f]Jaclyn[/name_f] seems to clear up whether 2 or 3 syllables are wanted.
[name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] - (2 syll: [name_u]Joss[/name_u]- lin) I have heard /[name_m]Jos[/name_m]-eh-lin/ only when the name is said in a more "called out, emphasized way) but not in everyday natural speech.
[name_m]Jack[/name_m]-ehl-lyn & [name_u]Joss[/name_u]-ehl-lyn for me, so both three syllables!
I would pronounce those with two syllables.
[name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] with 2 (jos-lin), [name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f] with 3 (jak-uh-lin).
I use 3 syllables with bith
3 syllables for both.
Three for both. jack-uh-lynn and joss-uh-lynn
I always use three syllables for [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f], but since I was good friends with a [name_f]Jaclyn[/name_f] growing up (clearly two syllables in this case), I often pronounce [name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f] the same way.
