[Opinions] *disappointed*
Kar-mee-an? I must say that I'm utterly disappointed. I thought it was pronounced like the word charm. I've been liking odd middle names for boys recently and when I saw your post I thought that Charmian was a lovely name that certainly fit in to that category. Hm...
Still, your pronunciation (the correct pronunciation I assume) isn't bad. It's a nice name, and I like the look of it. But it would have been soooo handsome if it was Char-mee-an. *sighs*

The correct pronounciation is CHAHR-mee-ən, SHAHR-mee-ən. See BTN's pronunciation, (Charmian) Overall I like it. It is the name of actress Charmian Carr who played Liesl in the Sound of Music.

Actually, 'KAR-mee-an' is technically more correct. It's Greek, so 'CH' is pronounced like a 'K', as in Charis.
