How do you pronounce the name Morwenna?

I always pronounced it as it's written but I could be horribly wrong ?

Same as Hazel and I definitely wouldn't take my word for it.

I've always heard it pronounced Mor-wee-nah.

I think some pronounce it as it's spelled and some, like me, who is more likely to be wrong than chooks and hazel would pronounce it More-wee-na

Like Morwenna Banks ennit lo!

WCS with bells on. I am not an expert at pronouncing things. My H still chuckles at me mis-pronouncing Bombardier as Bom-bar-diay

See, I just knew i'd be wrong.

Mine's more Mor-when-a

I'd pronounce it Mor-wen-ah

My mate did this! We (and the barman) p1ssed ourselves laughing. Bless her (and you!)

my smart arse BIL can't pronounce that either.

Thanks everyone. It just looks like one of those names that's pronounced completely differently, iyswim ?

Is it not More-Weiner?

My friend thought that Hermione was pronounced Hermy-won

We were discussing Harry Potter when we found this out - I still snigger when I think about it and we've never let her forget it

A friend of mine thought Chloe was pronounced Ch-loo ?

Mr FtG thought it was Hermi-own.. He hasn't lived that down yet.

I always thought Penelope was Penny Lope!

See I think that almost makes sense to think that, as without the ë is technically is like jo/joe same with Zoe and Zoë the diaeresis tells you that you pronouce the e rather than run the vowels together in a diphthong

Actually, if you were talking about Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP - engines, snowmobiles, sportsboats) you were spot on ?

I used to think Hermione was pronounced Hermy-own until I started watching cold feet and watched a few interviews with Hermione Norris.

I know Persephone is pronounced per-sef-oh-knee, but I still say percy-phone.

I thought iT was Percy-phone and wondered why people would choose such a shit name! per-sef-o-nee makes much more sense ?

ah yes, I know lots of Persephone's ?

So are you meant to pronounce Bombardier then? I'd day Bom-bar-di-yeah so French stylee.

I always think it funny that that in the UK Beaulieu is pronounced "bew lee" whereas here we say it the French way "Bow lee err". ?

?

I'm going to have twin daughters, and call them Hermy-own and Percy-phone.

Bombardier (as in the beer) is Bom-ba-deer (with the second b pronounced)

I remember reading a book with a girl in it called Phoebe when I was about 7. THat flummoxed me for a while.

Well, I never knew that ? I am so thick.

I thought Hermione was pronounced Herm-ee-own-ee - for years when I used to read Jilly Cooper books ?

French/Canadian stylee is apparently correct. Some boating bores clever people pronounce it bom-bar-DEE-yeh and some pronounce it bom-bar-DEE-yay - tis much easier now they are generally known as BRP ?

is it an EB book, 'cos it sounds like one of 'her' names ?

? It does rather, but it's not.

?Thanks Smint, now if I were ever to come across it at least i'll know to how say the name correctly! ?
