How would you pronounce Miro?

Someone suggested it for our boy. I’m just curious about whether most (English) people would pronounce it the same way as us.

We like it but not sure it’s the one. Trying it on to see if it’ll grow on us.

Probably Meeero

sel2223 · 27/09/2024 07:55

Never heard of this name before. I would probably pronounce it Mee-ro

Same as 'San Siro' the stadium

GracieGrowler · 27/09/2024 07:55

Meer O

boulevardofbrokendreamss · 27/09/2024 07:55

Like Biro

Worrywater · 27/09/2024 07:56

Meer-oh at a guess but would be fully prepared for it to be My-ro and it's a name I would ask how to pronounce.

Procrastinates · 27/09/2024 07:57

I would pronounce it Mee-row but wouldn't be surprised to hear others to say My-row.

RicStar · 27/09/2024 07:57

Meer-rho would be my first guess without context.

justfornow1 · 27/09/2024 07:59

Meero would be my first guess.

Haggia · 27/09/2024 07:59

Naturally I go to My-ro but also could be like Joan Miro although his has the accented O.

BrieHugger · 27/09/2024 08:00

Rhymes with hero

MyOtherCarisAVauxhallZafira · 27/09/2024 08:01

Meer roh

Not sure why as I would pronounce Milo as My loh

Pp nailed it, to rhyme with hero

WhereAreWeNow · 27/09/2024 08:01

To rhyme with hero

frannygallops · 27/09/2024 08:01

I would pronounce it my-ro

IntheVicinity · 27/09/2024 08:01

Like the artist Miró.

GreenMarigold · 27/09/2024 08:01

To rhyme with Nero

whiteroseredrose · 27/09/2024 08:01

My-row to rhyme with Biro

DirtyDensDog · 27/09/2024 08:07

My ro

Firsttimebabymummy · 27/09/2024 08:13

hattie43 · 27/09/2024 07:55

Probably Meeero

Agree

deliwoman1 · 27/09/2024 08:25

Ah thanks all. Good showing for meero, like the artist, which is the way we pronounce it.

I was afraid of Miro-rhymes-with-biro, but it’s not a terrible sound at least and a biro is a very useful thing! 😂

NoOneKnowsWhoYouAre · 27/09/2024 08:27

I'd pronounce it like biro or like the start of mirror with an o at the end.

MysticCatLady · 27/09/2024 08:29

My-ro like biro because of Milo.

If that's incorrect it's probably better to spell o it Meero.

CurlewKate · 27/09/2024 08:31

Like the artist.

I have a niece who is known as Miro-short for Miriam.

GlowyJoey · 27/09/2024 08:31

I would pronounce it my-roh but that’s probably because I’ve got a Milo so would pronounce it the same.

sel2223 · 27/09/2024 08:32

MysticCatLady · 27/09/2024 08:29

My-ro like biro because of Milo.

If that's incorrect it's probably better to spell o it Meero.

Why would OP need to change the spelling when the majority of responses have said they would pronounce it the way she wants it?

Aysegull · 27/09/2024 08:32

I read it as My-ro
