What do you think of Corinne as a girl's name? It's listed on Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder.

How would you pronounce it? I'm never sure if it's Corin or Coreen. I have no feelings either way really. It's OK but I don't love it. It looks quite pretty though.

I would pronounce it cor-IN or cor-EEN. I think it's lovely.

I had a French penfriend when I was little called Corinne (co-REEN) and I thought it was impossibly glamourous and exoctic. I still quite like it.

Yes, I like it. Unusual but not fabricated!

My sister is Corinne Faye. I think it becoming a lot more popular. It was really rare when my sister was born and it's pronounced Corin. She's always liked her name but hates people trying to shorten it.

Never sure how you say it. I would have guessed "Co-RINN" or "CO-rinn" , but never would have guessed with an "een" ending.

I love Corinna, both the name and the song - I like it better than Corinne

Ooh i actually love it. Not a name i'd ever of thought of tbqh!

Corin or Coreen pronounciation are equally lovely, although i'd sway to Corin

I have an adult cousin called Corrine (her mother is French). We say it 'Corr-IN'... "Corr-EEN" sounds too much like Colleen to my mind.

It's beautiful and it's pronounced Corin. Gorgeous.
