[Facts] Re: Question:the pronunciation of "Irene" ?--What is the stress of "Irene" in USA
in reply to a message by S
Yes, that's right, and this also applies to other names with the same ending such as Maureen, Doreen, etc. The stress is generally on the first syllable in Britain and the second in the USA.
