Help[Opinions] Re: Merle
in reply to a message by mirfak
I don't pronounce Catherine with an "er" sound at all. It's CATH-rinn. I'm very sensitive to the "er" sound, because my name is Brandon, and there is a slight "er" sound in the "Br" which some people needlessly exaggerate.

oh
I've never heard anyone say Bur-andon to the Brandon I used to know. How annoying that would be. My name has adjacent vowels like in the name Ariel, and it drives me crazy when people insert a Y sound between them, so I can see what you mean about being sensitive - I think that's why I dislike the Y in names like Aaliyah so, so much.
I still don't think "nasal" is the right word for it, though ... it's the L that goes up my nose in Merle.
