Corinne?

[Chaffinch4]

I really like this name, but will it get misprononced - coh-REEN rather than COH-rin?

To me, it's pretty straight forward.Coh-rin.

It will definitely get a variety of pronunciations when people are meeting her for the first time. You need to decide if that will bug you.

I'd say cuh-RIN.

It's coh-RIN isn't it?

I’ve only heard it the French way, Cor-RINNE. I can’t imagine any other way

The simplest of names get mispronounced so I can imagine a Corinne being called carina, corrinny, careen...

Hmmmm, I pronounce it the same as the boy's version Corin.

One of my other children has a name which are often misspelt, despite being obvious, and I had to correct both the spelling and pronunciation of mine growing up. I don't think it would bug me that much.

I always thought it was coh-RIN, but then I met one who says it like the boys name Corin.

I had a friends at school with this name. It was pronounced COH-RIN.

It's a nice name!

Love it, but always heard it COH-RIN

It's not a name you hear that much, but i have always heard cuh-RIN.
Different to Corin, where the emphasis is on the first syllable. Maybe it's you that's mispronouncing.

I think Corinna is prettier.

I'd pronounce it Coh-rin. I have a French friend called karine pronounced Ka-reen which I think is really pretty.

This is my mums name and she hates it because everyone pronounces it differently and no one can spell it. She always joked that only the French can say it correctly. She pronounces it Coh-reen (ala PauLINE/ChrisTINE). Because of all the issues she had, she gave me and my siblings nice, but very popular names that everyone could pronounce/spell! Personally, I'd rather have a more unusual name as I was one of four in my class with my name :(

UK - emphasis on the first syllable. As per the boys' equivalent as a pp said.

Oh dear I'd have said Coh-REEN, I think of it as a French name and didn't realise there was a different English pronunciation

I know two Corinnes, and only ever heard it pronounced as Coh-Reen.

Wasn't/isn't Corinne Bailey Ray a cuh-RIN?

I know 1 and she pronounces ir Cor-reen, so this is how I would pronounce it. Nice name though with either pronounciation.

Corine would be Cor-EEN

Corinne is Cor-INNE

And the boys name Corin COR-in

Maybe it's one of those Naomi type names that people just say in different ways!

I still like it.

I know a Corinne pronounced Corin (Cor - in, equal stress). Lovely name.

It's a pretty name (although I would pronounce it the French way) but it will always be the abusive mother from Flowers in the Attic to me.

I would have pronounced it Cor-een. I know a Lorinne (Lor-een) so that is probably influencing it.

You might like Carina too?

Why are so many thinking EEN? It’s not spelled CorINE/ChristINE but CorINNE. The double N makes it short, doesn’t it?
