[Opinions] Re: Pronouncing it differently
in reply to a message by khaotickharma
It depends on the name. For the ones you mentioned here I don't think it will be a problem. It's not unusual for Johanna to be prn Jo-hannah so I don't think it would cause too many problems just because it's not the original prn. As for Cassia I had no idea that it was supposed to be prn Ca-SHA. I would have said Ca-see-a ie Cassie with an a at the end.
I think it helps if the name looks like it's supposed to be prn the way you want to prn it, otherwise it would be a bit strange. It also helps if the name is slighly unusual such as Cassia and Johanna, then people would be more likely to prn it the way you want to prn it. It would be near imposible with more common names ie Elizabeth as Eliza-Beth.
