[Opinions] Re: Names pronounced differently in the US and the UK
in reply to a message by molly
I've never heard Bernard pronounced BER-nurd here in the US, only as ber-NARD. When I was going to school in London, I met a Maya who pronounced her name as MAY-a, not MY-a, but I assumed that was unusual.

My second cousin is Maya, pronounced like MAY-uh (UK)
Maya is often pronounced May-a here
