[Opinions] Re: Missouri
in reply to a message by Siân
Not fond of it, as the sound is pretty close to misery. Also don't like how some people pronounce it Miz-ZUR-ee and some say Miz-ZOR-ee, and some of the residents even say Miz-ZURR-ah.
Missouri Jane does have an early 1900's vibe to it that would work for a character in that time period. Missouri Jane also sounds like a saloon girl or outlaw or trick shooter.You're entitled to your own opinions. You're not entitled to your own facts. -- Daniel Patrick Moynihan

I say Miz-ZOR-ee. not that I have occasion to say it often.
Mildly fun fact-I have a young relative named Kansas. People are named after U.S. states. Couldn't really call a child British Columbia, I suppose.
Maybe Manitoba. This kid, Kansas,(male) lives in east-coast Canada.
