Am I being fooled by this pronunciation?

I've never seen or heard of Lululemon until I followed a running shoes website and ordered a pair. I told a girl at the gym and she laughed at my pronunciation.

So, AIBU to say it's spelled Lulu Lemon and that's how people must say it?

Or is it Lu-Lu-Le-Mon

Or even Lull Yule Mon?

While we’re here - Superga

super G A
Supergaa
Super gah?

A young’un in my office complimented my flatform Superga and pronounced it “soo-PER-ga” so I’m going with that.

The name LuluLemon was picked by the creator as he thought it would be funny trying to hear people from South East Asia pronounce it. Dick.

Just read up on him & he sounds like an absolute twat!

I pronounce it to rhyme with Pantalaimon.

In my head I always called it something like lulellamon although I'm sure that's incorrect 😂

I refuse to call it Lulu Lemon because that's not how it's spelt. There's no space!

It's Lulu le MON according to my fashion savvy teen ...

'Tight-list' as far as I know.

Title-ist

No. Lulu lemon.

I myself thought it was pronounced
"Lulu Le Mon". You know, like French.

Like what in French though? It wouldn't make any sense! 'Lulu the my'

Thank you! And I didn't know Ralph Lauren was stressed on the first syllable too...you'll be telling me Ralph is pronounced Ralf not Rafe too, I bet!

Yup, people are going to tell you that because that's true.

Well it's certainly spelt a lot more like 'Lulu Lemon' than 'Lulellamon' Grin A space doesn't change the pronunciation of the actual letters!

Lulu Lemon 🍋

I recently watched a tv programme about a girl who was murdered in one of their stores in the US.

Every single person on the programme pronounced it Lulu Lemon so I'd say it's a fair bet that's the correct way!
