How do you pronounce Celine and Maje

[CeCeBloomer]

Just that thanks

Sss-lean

Ma ju-eh (finding it hard to write that phonetically)

Seleen and...erm...mage? May? Magee?

Suh-leen

Mar-hey?

Well Celine is a name, so like Celine Dion.

And Harpers bazaar say it's mahj

Se-leen
Marg

Seh leen
Mah jeh

Se-lee
My-eh

Celine (se-leen) like Celine Dion.

No idea about Maje? (Mar-jee perhaps?)

Se-lean
may-ya

Céline: saylean, with the emphasis on the lean
Maje: mazh (like mash but with zh, the same sound as the s in pleasure, instead of sh at the end)

Sul-leen
Mar-jee (that's how the assistants in the shop pronounce it as well!)

Celine like Dion.

Madge like neighbours.

Celine like Dion.

Madge like neighbours.

No consensus really o though it was se-leen but my husband said chellini as for maje I thought ma-jay but sounds like I was wrong, just got dress and shoes from the above and was terrified of anyone asking me where they were from

If you phone the Maje shop on Kings Road, they answer it 'Hello, Mar-jee Kings Road' which is proof enough for me!

Celine like Celine Dion, Maje like Maia? Altogether I live in a country where j is pronounced y so that's colouring my thinking

Sparechange, are the people who answer the telephone French? Because here in France we say as I said above... and they are French brands ;-)

Seleen as in Dion, Marje as in Marjorie Dawes.

Don't get me started on the Balenciaga designer - Dee-meh Vass-ay-lee-arr if you must know.

Selleen

May-a

Whole pronunciation guide here from Harpers.

They say it's Mahj, which I would agree with.

It's definitely seh-leen. 'Chellini' would be Italian, and Céline is French.

I pronounced Balenciaga as 'bal-en-cha-ga' for an embarrassingly long time, thinking it was Italian. It isn't.

I meant to write
My- a

Seleen and Marje

Not 'Mahj' because then it would be written 'Mâje' instead of 'Maje' ;-)

This is in French but the presenter pronounces 'maje' at 12 seconds in.

She says 'mahj'. Shorter 'a' sound then 'marj'. the 'j' sound is like the 's' in 'treasure'.
