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

I thought it was Coh-rin

Pretty, underused name it's lovely

Lemondrop99 · 30/09/2017 17:03

I'd have pronounced it Cor-een. That might be wrong but it's how I would have said it

I'd pronounce it Cor-rin.

Lovely name.
Agree with PP double ‘n’ makes ‘Co-rin’

Corrine is a cool name. Reminds me of Corrine Drewery of Swing Out Sister. She was cool.

Why don’t you spell it Coryn to feminise it but keep the same pronunciation as Corin?

Makes me think of this lovely/love-lorn old poem/song. MUCH prefer Corinna:

Corinne is nice. I say it with a short vowell sound too - due to the double n.

Corina could be like the Coroner

I have a friend called Corrine pronounced the way you describe, and I have to admit when we first met it took a while for me to stop accidentally calling her cor-rinne. I think that's just the natural way to pronounce it

This is my mums name, although hers is spelled Corrinne (her folks heard it in a French movie and were unsure how to spell it). She pronounces it Cor Reen. She absolutely HATES her names because no one pronounces it ‘correctly’ and she is now known as Connie.
