Help[Opinions] Re: Pronunciation question for Americans
in reply to a message by Dracotorix
Where I live (California) "Eva" would likely be pronounced EE-va. And it would be a constant annoyance. In fact, she might occasionally be told that she is pronouncing her own name wrong.

"In fact, she might occasionally be told that she is pronouncing her own name wrong."
In California? Which part of California? In the northern part that might just be rudeness by itself, but in SoCal, with the high Hispanic population, remarks like that would be a mix of willful ignorance and racism.
