What do you think of Corinne as a girl's name? It's listed on Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder.

How would you pronounce it? I'm never sure if it's Corin or Coreen. I have no feelings either way really. It's OK but I don't love it. It looks quite pretty though.

I would pronounce it cor-IN or cor-EEN. I think it's lovely.

I had a French penfriend when I was little called Corinne (co-REEN) and I thought it was impossibly glamourous and exoctic. I still quite like it.

Yes, I like it. Unusual but not fabricated!

SE13Mummy · 04/02/2010 23:22

I know a Corinne who has a twin called Corinna...!

LetThereBeRock · 05/02/2010 00:05

I like it.

lowrib · 05/02/2010 00:38

I love it.

ShinyAndNew · 05/02/2010 00:40

I like. I'd pronounce Cor-een, but like both ways.

shubiedoo · 05/02/2010 02:21

Very pretty. I like Corinna too.

My sister is Corinne Faye. I think it becoming a lot more popular. It was really rare when my sister was born and it's pronounced Corin. She's always liked her name but hates people trying to shorten it.

Never sure how you say it. I would have guessed "Co-RINN" or "CO-rinn" , but never would have guessed with an "een" ending.

theagedparent · 05/02/2010 10:06

Really lovely.

Disenchanted3 · 05/02/2010 10:08

love, love, love it
i would have considered it but its my mums best friends name

jellybeans · 05/02/2010 22:20

I like it.

dizzydixies · 06/02/2010 09:09

I love Corinna, both the name and the song - I like it better than Corinne

CherylsLeftCashley · 06/02/2010 10:21

I like the 'Corin' pronunciation. It's pretty.

Wolfblass · 06/02/2010 10:48

Ooh i actually love it. Not a name i'd ever of thought of tbqh!

Corin or Coreen pronounciation are equally lovely, although i'd sway to Corin

dizzydixies · 06/02/2010 11:27

we had Corin picked for DD1 if she was a boy but I think it works well for both

I have an adult cousin called Corrine (her mother is French). We say it 'Corr-IN'... "Corr-EEN" sounds too much like Colleen to my mind.

Vivia · 08/02/2010 16:14

It's beautiful and it's pronounced Corin. Gorgeous.
