Help[Opinions] Re: Arto?
in reply to a message by Rioghnach
It's OK, I think it's very common in Finland, where it's pronounced something like AHR-toh. In English I think it would sound more like "are too" or "R2" as in R2D2 from Star Wars...
You're not considering it for a girl, are you?

Arto would never be pronounced as "are too" in English. Pretty much all English speakers would say AHR-toh (or AHR-doh).

No, in the US it would not sound like 2r2. It would just sound like R-Toe.

We have a multicultural family (4 languages), so we don't pronounce it english. Otherwise i wouldn't like it so much i think... ;) but i never though about that problematic with R2...
Absolutely NO ^^ i would never ever name a girl Arto (and it wouldn't be possible in europe i think).
