Any opinions? And which way should it be spelled? Smile

A kid called Caesar? Seriously?

Way to give them a superiority complex.

Lol at twatface. I was gonna be nice but I'll respond in a manner more befitting - IT'S A SHIT NAME

“the spelling Cèsar” doesn’t exist

It’s César

I like it when it's pronounced see-zer, but I prefer the spelling CèsarConfused

SOrry my bad. Stress on first syllable not second. The second syllable is “sa” not “se” though.

How are they pronounced?

If you don't know why are you using it Hmm

“I'd assume Cesare was Italian, in which case it's "Chey-se-ray"”

No it’s “say-zah-ray” with stress on middle syllable

No, Ce in Italian is 'Ch' in English: It's Chay/Che not Say.

You can hear different international pronunciations here OP: www.pronouncenames.com/Cesare

What about Felix?

NeepNeepNeep · 23/06/2018 16:56

I'm wrong. It's dog food.

Cat food.

NameChange30 · 23/06/2018 16:53

Salad.

Don’t do it.

César in French is "Saiz-ar". Caesar I'd say "See-zer". So all quite different.

How are they pronounced? I thought Cesare might be pronounced differently actually, do you pronounce the e at the end?

What pronunciation do you want?

I'd interpret the first as French/Spanish (with the accent the other way though), the second as English, and the third as Italian, and pronounce them accordingly - and very differently.
