Can-eye-ee?

Smitff · 07/04/2017 18:54

Are you trying to not use Kanye (as in west)?

I'd say Cuh-na-yeh. It's nice but unfortunately Mr West has spoiled it for you

IneedIceCream · 07/04/2017 18:52

Kanaye = NoUKant

Are you going to tell us how it's pronounced?

TinfoilHattie · 07/04/2017 18:49

Can-Eye or Can i? And no I don't like it, it's awful.

SellFridges · 07/04/2017 16:53

Karn Eye

TheBookIsOnTheTable · 07/04/2017 16:45

Can I?

Can't I?

TipTop333 · 07/04/2017 16:39

Thoughts - it's like Kanye but with an extra letter.

How would you pronounce it OP?

ChippieFishieHorshie · 07/04/2017 16:21

Can (like car)- I- uh (also an "a" sound like in car. or march, just a bit longer...)

Mrsknackered · 07/04/2017 16:16

I'd go for Kan-eye and cross my fingers

KoalaDownUnder · 07/04/2017 16:12

Well, I know how to pronounce Kanami and Ayame. So by deduction...presuming Kanaye is Japanese, I think I'm about right.

CakesAreBiscuitsToo · 07/04/2017 16:11

It seems that no one actually knows!

badabing36 · 07/04/2017 16:07

Can-a-yay?

cushioncovers · 07/04/2017 16:06

TBH no I wouldn't even know where to start for fear of offending the person.

KoalaDownUnder · 07/04/2017 16:06

Kuh-nuh-yeh

Is it Japanese?

PurpleDaisies · 07/04/2017 16:06

What's the answer?

SuperSix77 · 07/04/2017 16:05

Is it 'Can' 'Eye'?

LittleDoYouKnow · 07/04/2017 16:04

CakesAreBiscuitsToo · 07/04/2017 16:03

scurryfunge · 07/04/2017 16:02

Not really.
