Help[Opinions] fair enough :)
in reply to a message by blaaarg
its interesting to see that people have different ways they think are the right and wrong ways to pronounce names.
I guess it depends on where you come from among other things.
I live in a place called Maryborough and quite often people say it like Merry burra.

Yeah, I wish English was a little more standardized, lol. In my dialect Mary and Merry are the same, and it makes me inordinately unhappy. I try to make the difference when I talk, but it sounds pretentious. And I guess it is.
People also often don't differentiate between E and I here. Pen and Pin sound the same. My name's Emma and everyone calls me Imma. I differentiate.

lol no. I wish. Just southeastern US. I have been watching flight of the conchords and think it is so funny when they say Bret's name. "This song is didicated to all the ippiliptic dogs." hee hee hee
no for some reason we don't do it with things like Bret and Devon, which is the logic I always use when I'm trying to convince someone there is an actual difference between Emma and Imma.
