Help[Opinions] Re: How do you pronounce
in reply to a message by Lily8
Madeleine and Madeline are pronounced the same for me; I say MAD-uh-lyne, to rhyme with fine/shine/mine.
Emmeline is EM-muh-leen.
Caroline is CA-row-lyne, rhymes with Madeleine and Madeline.
Evangeline is horrid. Haha, just kidding (although I really do hate it). I pronounce it ehv-ANN-jell-een.
Erin and Aaron are different to me. Erin sounds more like "air" when I say it, but the "aa" in Aaron sounds like the a in "cat."
Ember and Amber are very different to me. Ember's "em" rhymes with "stem." Amber's "am" prefix rhymes with "clam."
Arielle and Ariel are the same to me, but that's because I'm obsessed with Hebrew names (and I speak a bit of the language). Pronounced ah-ree-ELL. It bugs the @#$@$ out of me when people pronounce Ariel as "aerial," like they're taking a picture of him/her from a high elevation. How annoying!

Hmm. Now that you mention it, I do like the ah-ree-ELL pronunciation better than the AIR-ee-uhl one. It sounds more masculine. I suppose that's because AIR-ee-uhl always sounds like The Little Mermaid to me.
