Psalm

[User18064574]

Kim Kardashian has named her baby.. Psalm West

Who says they aren’t pronouncing it ‘Puh-sarm’ or even ‘dave’?

Thanks @TheFirstOHN

I don't like it

TheFirst according to most people here it's pronounced Sam.

I'd never heard of that pronunciation before but most people on this thread say it's that

Sarm?

I knew a Psalm back in the early 80s

It was however a pony

No one pronounces psalm as Sam. Ever.

Nice name for a pony.

I like it! Its a nice sentiment. In my bit of uk it rhymes with farm

No one ever names a baby Psalm. Nearly never.

Glad people are now coming along to agree with me now!!

iVampire We had a pony called Alan at the riding school where I helped as a kid misses point of thread

In most American accents it would probably be pretty close to Sam. In most UK accents it will rhyme with 'calm'.

TheFirst according to most people here it's pronounced Sam.

The word psalm rhymes with calm and balm, however you pronounce those. So if you pronounce calm as cam, and balm as bam, then psalm will sound like Sam.

I had to sing psalms weekly for several years, with people who had a range of regional accents, so the word came up regularly in everyday conversation. 😂

I had no idea that emoji was going to appear so large. I'm not that amused.

I knew I was right see!

I read somewhere that North is nn Nori and Chicago is nn Chi. Both of which aren't that bad (well an improvement of what they are actually called).
So hopefully the other 2 have decent nn too.
If not they can always do what Zowie Bowie did and change their names (he's now Duncan)

Duncan was always Duncan.

I know a boy called Psalm and I like it. There was also a Tantra coach called Psalm, a woman, and I liked it on her, too.

'No one pronounces psalm as Sam. Ever.'

I do. Always.

Sam 23. Really?

Some people really have hard time understanding the concept of different accents.

It is a dreadful name, but I would expect nothing less.

I have heard worse names though.

No really I don’t. But I have genuinely never heard psalm pronounced to rhyme with ham.

How do you pronounce palm oil? To rhyme with Pam?

Yes.

Imagine that.

I’m trying.
