If I met an
Elvis I'd just assume his parents were fans. It's not so bad.
I always thought
Berenice was beh-reh-NEES, which it is, in French. The English pronunciation on here seems very odd to me. And I thought
Lalage, which I've only ever seen in pre-war novels, was la LAHZH, and
Amyas was am EYE as.
My sister dated a
Mikhail and it was pronounced mi ka ILL. Your second pronunciation sounds more like Irish
Mícheál - maybe someone's confused?
