Oh interesting! Whenever I’ve come across it in choir it’s been the ‘kirry’ pn
@persephonescrown @Wandarine Adding a third option to the mix, I’ve usually heard the liturgical term as kee-ree-eh or kee-ree-ay
As for the name, I would assume it was kai-ree because of [name_u]Kyrie[/name_u] Iriving the basketball player.
@handlion I’d say something between kee-ree and kih-ree
I think this is correct tbh, I was misremembering because it’s kyrie eleison and that last syllable gets a bit lost I revise my answer to kih-ree-ay

Yes but I only like it pronounced eh-NEED, I genuinely had no clue it could be pronounced different until [name_f]Wednesday[/name_f] and when I heard the other pronunciation I liked it a lot less
For some reason [name_m]Friedrich[/name_m] nn [name_m]Fritz[/name_m] is the only one I like, even [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] doesn’t work for me!
Rearranging my MN combos with some new names I’ve added.

i said i know one juniper and i’m not from the usa, but the juniper i know is from the usa
okay, so personally i don’t like them very much on girls. however a decade ago, james would have sounded really strange on a girl to most people. so, you never know i guess, all it takes is one person (well more like two) and maybe arthur and magnus will become more common within girls

I think they’d work in the middle, I know a decent number of girls with masculine middle names. Usually it’s for family reasons but I think even without that connection it would be fine. I wouldn’t use them as feminine first names, though.
