Help[Opinions] Re: Bianca, Irena, and Nadine
in reply to a message by Joiya
I like Irena ok and vastly prefer your "Italian" pronunciation. Irene I would most definitely pronounce "eye-REEN" though, and like even less. However I know an Irene and it REALLY suits- she has a very "pinup" style (dark hair, clamshell bangs, red lips, defined brow) and pulls it off nicely.
Bianca is ok too. I've warmed to it more lately but still don't love it. It's always sounded like a "stuck up" name to me, like I've seen too many movies/shows with a mean rich girl named Bianca.
Nadine is my favorite of the bunch for sure. Some days I like it more than others; today is an off day for me =/ but next week it could be a favorite. It's..... Comfy. I dunno, I keep getting an image of a soft, oversized, mustard yellow sweater... and chocolate chip cookies... and a pretty smile. Now, are you pronounce it "Nah-" or "Nay-"?

I pronounce it nay-DEEN, but my husband naturally says NUH-deen and my father keeps saying nah-DEEN-eh. But my father also pronounces Clarisse similar to Clarissa. (klah-ree-seh)
However, because of where we live, most people will say nay-deen.. which is the plan.
Btw - the oversized mustard sweater, cookies and smiles... that is a pretty good image to me. I am pretty sure I used to wear oversized mustard colored sweaters in my stirrup pants phase in the 90s though. So, maybe it fits!
