[Opinions] Pronunciation?
Inspired by the recent Broderick twins, I've noticed that people are mentioning that they prefer the Marian spelling over the Marion one. Now, my question is do you pronounce them the same?
Because to me Marian is like Marianne 'MEH-ree-AN' , while Marion is 'ME-ree-ohn'. Also in English I think of Marian as female and Marion as male (in Croatia Marian is a male name, but pronounced differently).
