How to pronounce names ?

leave a comment »

Have you ever struggled with name pronunciations? Stuttered or felt like a fool, when you had to say a name that you had no clue how to pronounce?

I came across this great website that helps you to find the correct pronunciation of names, PronounceNames.com!

Called “Almost a Wikipedia for names” by the DC Examiner,  the website allows you to submit pronunciation of your name, so that others can look it up and are able to then pronounce your name correctly.

The Business travel log says, “it is an incredibly valuable tool for the business travelers of the world”. Life hacker says that “Pronounce Names Saves You From Embarrassment”.

What I found most intriguing was the number of ways “America” is pronounced, http://www.pronouncenames.com/pronounce/america

Please go to this website, and submit pronunciation of your name if they don’t have it in the database, especially if you have a name that others find it difficult to pronounce.
