How do you pronounce Alban?

[PassportBridgetPants]

Starting with the sound All (as in ball) or Oll (as in old)?

Thank you!

I'd pronounce it Al-ban as in Al-in. Or as in don't call me Al. Rhymes with Gal!

*Al-un - stupid phone

All-bun.

That's interesting spugz - I was thinking St Albans is definitely All or Oll?

All-bun. Like how you pronounce the place St. Alban’s.

all

I think I'm an Oll though either sounds right to me.

In my accent it’s “al-bins”

Not like call or all. More like the “al” sound in “shall”

Like Alvin.

Yes, like Alvin here, too.

(I have said it so many times now!)
I think I say it somewhere between all and oll- bun.

But I might also pronounce it Al bun if it was a name, like Albie/Albert.

All-bun

Ol-bun

ol bun

Like Alvin for me too.

So everyone's as confused as me

El-bun

I know of a school using 'Alban' in the name and is pronounced 'All-bun' at least it was in that particular area South East of England

Like All Bran. Without the r, obviously.

Ol-bun. I think regional accents may be responsible for the differences.

Oh see I automatically read it as Al-bun like Albie/Albert/Alfred

We know one who is Al as in Alfred and then bun.

All ban

Here in snorbens (St Albans) it's pronounced allbun.

Like the cereal...
