To say baby names sound better with some 'accents' and not others.

[HJWT]

Basically having a debate with DH about how baby names sound different/better depending what part of the country you are from.

When my DH (from london) says a name, for example Hallie, Koby they sound nice but when I say them (from 'up north') they sound quite tacky 😂 he thinks they sound the same either way where as I don't

Whats your opinion ?

Bit perplexed about the Yorkshire comments, the 't' is always pronounced and I've never heard it differently here.
I suppose it depends whereabouts in Yorkshire you live - the children I know who live in Bradford speak very differently to children I know in Harrogate. 'T's are very often dropped in a Bradford accent.

@Zacksnan
Even the Wirral has different accents. I’m from the Wirral, but West Wirral, and people don’t speak in much of a scouse accent at all. It’s more like a Chester accent.
Go to Birkenhead and you will get ‘la’/ alrite kidder/giv us a berger, will yer’😂 It is different from the scouse accent, but only people from Merseyside can probably hear the different. The word ‘no’ sounds completely different in scouse to a rough Wirral accent.

I HATE the scouse accent. Every name sounds awful. I can say this, as I’m from Merseyside born and bred and half my family speak in a scouse accent. I probably sound scouse to people from London. For ‘bird’, I say ‘b-air-d’, which my foreign husband always laughs at.
The scouse accent sounds rough, even when the person isn’t rough at all.

Prepared to be flamed for that, but ‘not aased, mate, jog on will yer’ 😂

NannyR, I live in West Yorkshire and work with people from the other Yorkshire counties. I understand what you are saying, but I would argue that it is less common for the 't' to be dropped than people are saying on this thread.

Anything with an I sound if you live in the west country or east anglia...Oivy...Moichael...

The scouse accent doesn’t always sound rough, south liverpool is nice and soft, North liverpool is quite harsh it all depends where you’re from and what school you went to.

People in my uni seemed to be able to tell when someone was a ‘wool’ (Wirral/rainhill/st Helens etc) or a scouser when they were from Essex/London/Birmingham.

Sorry, I think my last post sounded a bit arsey, and I certainly didn't mean it that way. Got a bit over-invested in this for some reason !

HalfBloodPrincess - a friend of mine has a DP from South London. If he says the words Paul, pool and pole they sound like exactly the same word !

I’ve just said all 3 and the only one that sounds slightly different is pole!

Dp and the kids are laughing at me 😫

Definitely a factor.
Exh is from Yorkshire and when I was pregnant we lived in Hull. He loved Harriet as a name for DD. I quite liked it until I discussed it in the office and discovered that Harriet in a hull accent sounds ridiculous.
So that was the end of that!
