How would you pronounce my (user)name?

[Eline]

Hi everyone c:

I've noticed over the years that English speaking people find it quite difficult to pronounce my name the way it should be. I'm Dutch myself, and Dutchies never pronounce it wrong, as it's a pretty common name here.

How would you pronounce my name (+ username): Eline?

I'm very curious to see what you guys will say. I'll try to explain the way you say it later


Also, do you have this same problem with your name? What is your name and how should it be pronounced where you live?

Eh-leene? I taught a student by that name before.

 

[piichinu]

Eh-leene, same as person above

 

[Eline]

Eh-leene, same as person above

Ok. Is that with or without the last e pronounced lol

 

[creamyy]

well my brain has been reading it as E-Line

English is not my first language, but I'd also say it this way in English, without pronouncing the last "e"

I've been reading it as Eh-leen. I'm interested to see how it's really pronounced!

It's so so funny to see all your reactions! I've heard so many different ways.
I think the best way to describe how you pronounce my name would be:

A (like how you pronounce the letter A in the alphabet) - Lee - nuh

 

[Eline]

Darn! Double post! Sorry!

Without looking at anyone else's answers, cuz it might make my mind change, I would pronounce it (EL-LEEN). Except I wouldn't say it with like, a pause in the middle.

Whoa, really? Never would of expected that haha

Funny how speaking in certain languages can totally change how you pronounce some things. I totally get that the way my name's pronounced in the Netherlands is different than it is in other countries. Just think it's really cool.
If I'd pronounce my own name in English I too would think either E-line or Elleen, lol!
