Help[Opinions] Re: Tanya--which pronunciation?
in reply to a message by queenv
It's probably a regional thing, but here in the South it seems like Tanya (et al) always gets prn. TAHN-yah. The only time I've heard it as TAN-yah was on a woman from Canada.
BTW, I'm not sure how Tanya Tucker's name is supposed to be pronounced, but I've heard it as TAN-yah quite a bit, so if that's the "right" way then my Southern theory of its pronunciation is wrong. lol

I'm pretty sure Tanya Tucker pronounces her name as Tan-ya not tahn-ya. She had a show on CMT, and I believe that was how she pronounced it.
I'm from the lower Midwest and I've known several Tanya's who have pronounced their name Tan-ya. That's how I pronounce it when I first see it, unless someone corrects me.
