Help[Opinions] Re: WDYT is better: an unusual pronunciation or an odd spelling?
in reply to a message by ElizainEngland
I'd go with Tasiana. I don't buy it as an unusual pronounciation of Tatiana;it's a different name. Sort of how Jane isn't a different pronounciation of Jean.
I wouldn't find it too made-up looking, and maybe it isn't, even.It's a good name, I like it.

My theory is that it's because of the parent's native language that they pronounce it /tasiana/ instead of /tatiana/. It's not necessarily a /toeMAYtoe/ /toeMAHtoe/ kind of thing. It's the same as any other mispronunciation by a foreigner.

You likely are right.
Oh, and I'm a toeMAHtoe person, myself. :-))
