How would you pronounce Bleu?

[Iknowacrackingowlsanctuary]

Ok, friend of a friend had a little boy a few days ago and announced name of fb. I ended up seeing the announcement because friend of a friend commented on it.

They've named their baby Bleu. Am I going mad? That's pronounced like Bl-er isn't it? Like Corden Bleu?

All comments are saying how lovely it is and how he is their 'little boy blue.'

I didn't say anything and then our my friend mentioned that her friend had had a little boy and named him Blue. I said "oh like the colour?" and she said "yes, but they've spelt it the french way, think it's Bleu"

I said that Bleu isn't pronounced Blue but Bl-er and she looked at me like this -->

Isn't this baby going to go through life with 'Bl-er' as a name or have I got it really wrong?

Agree with everyone else that Bleu is pronounced Blergh. You can't just make up pronounciations of words and expect everyone else to go along with that.

Spell your child's name "Emily" and people will say Emily, not Ee-miley.

And so what if he has to spell it out!! Still a cool name

I would be devastated to have a friend like you

Not rocket science to pronounce a name or word your own way and nothing wrong with that either!!!! Be nice!! Goes a long way

Zombie thread... bleeeeeuuuugh.

If it was a name I'd pronounce it like Blue. But mainly because I know that it's unlikey someone would call their baby 'Bluh/Bler'

Oops sozzzzz

As it's a name, I'd assume it was 'blue'.

Bleurghhhhh. Horrible.

I’m guessing Cole has a baby named Bleu, pronounced Blue, and was incensed enough to resurrect a ZOMBIE 😉
