@notso that's stuck in my head nowGrin

Teen. Like Churchill’s wife. It’s a French name like Josephine. But there’s no logic if or when it might change pronunciation. Tyne would be for Australia or America.

I’ve only ever heard it as Tyne (and know 2 who pronounce it like that), but teen gives it a nice exotic forrin twist!

Another teen here

Teen the fruit

Tyne the girl

Teen.
I think tyne is the US pronunciation?

This was on my girls name list but partly discounted for this reason!

Oh I thought the fruit was always -teen.

The girls' name can be either teen or tyne.

I believe it's teen in the U.K. and tyne in the US

Tyne

Thanks for the Mark Owen link. I’d forgotten how completely bloody gorgeous he was.

Apolloanddaphne · 16/10/2019 19:55

I would say Tyne.

Whattodoabout · 17/10/2019 10:35

Tyne

My grown DD is called Clementine.

I would say this is not a factual poll

99% of the time people pronounce it Tyne- we are in the UK

I do get lots of compliments on her name-and lots of ppl saying they'd have used it "if they were brave enough" Hmm

Tyne. I've never heard teen. Maybe it's a regional thing?
