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).
