How do you pronounce it?

I love the way it looks, but wondering if people would pronounce it the same way I would.

I really like it but I can't unhear that bloody awful woman from Bread shouting it. Not as that would be a worry for you or your DD as the show is years old, it's just put me off the name.

Same here!

Ptarm · 11/05/2023 08:24

“I’m a model”
😂😂😂

Ptarm · 11/05/2023 08:21

Yeah, our Avaline - sorry 😬

Crikeyalmightey · 11/05/2023 08:19

Don't forget Mongy! 🐕

"Got to get up, got to get up
Grab the world by the throat and shout" 🎵

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooh! Gotta find it, give us a share, making bread outta nothing but air 🎶

Maybe use Adeline instead?!

PumpkinsAndCoconuts · 11/05/2023 08:12

Depends on whether I'd assume that it was French or English...

It does remind me of Avellino btw. (Town in Campania)

fairycupcakes · 10/05/2023 23:21

Ah vuh line

friendlycat · 10/05/2023 22:32

It’s my middle name!

VivaVivaa · 10/05/2023 22:29

I’m wondering how it’s Ah-va-line with the E in it as opposed to an A? I must be in the minority but id wonder if it’s supposed to be Ave (to rhyme with rave, pave or Maeve)-line or Ave-Lyn?

FranKatzenjammer · 10/05/2023 22:23

'I'm a model, aren' I?'.

DrFoxtrot · 10/05/2023 22:06

Yes, pronounced like the character in Bread Grin, 'Gotta get up, gotta get out...'

PickledScrump · 10/05/2023 21:36

Av-ah-line

like sounds like “have a line” 😬

I must be the only person who hasn’t heard of this bread thing 😂

Simianwalk · 10/05/2023 21:07

But no one under the age of 45 will remember that!

I hate to say it but I'm 29 and I remember it, they must have shown reruns 😂

Spanielsarepainless · 10/05/2023 21:17

Prefer Adeline. Adderline.

waterlego · 10/05/2023 21:11

Ah! I couldn’t work out why I recognised it but yes, Bread!

I would say

A as in ‘hat’
Second a same as first syllable in ‘about’
And line as in washing line!

Haven’t seen/heard them before but I like those French pronunciations upthread.

I also like Adeline (and again the sounds could be manipulated according to preference!)

Kokopenny · 10/05/2023 21:06

Our Avaline!!!!

Loria · 10/05/2023 21:05

🤣

Skybluepinky · 10/05/2023 21:03

Are u Scouse?
She was in Bread and a slapper

salamithumbs · 10/05/2023 18:30

To rhyme with Caroline since that's how they said it in Bread, but if I'd never seen that I'd probably wonder if it was Ah-vuh-lyn or Ah-vuh-leen! I really like it as a name 😍

RosaSkye · 10/05/2023 18:09

Av- uh - line

but I can imagine also Av-uh-leen which I think I maybe prefer.

it’s a lovely meaning, I think it’s hazelnut tree?

MyFaceIsAnAONB · 10/05/2023 16:50

I’d pronounce it to rhyme with Abilene from The Help. AY-vuh-leen.

KirstenBlest · 10/05/2023 16:49

Avel like in unravel, line as in washing line

Coronationstation · 10/05/2023 16:49

BarryShitpea · 10/05/2023 16:24

Like Avaline Boswell 😂

oh gawd, i knew the pronunciation came from somewhere, i just couldn't place it!! 😂
