i would do that first pronunciation

if it was Cor-in, i would spell the name with a y: corynn. I've come across that name and I'm a huge proponent of it. It's more catchy and unique than cor-een and it's a name that ends in "ynn", which i find feminine and more unique than female names ending an an A, but its not a typical "ynn" name, like lynn.

um, I hope that made sense - i've been sickish all day and kind of out of it =(

i usually pronounce: K/Corinn(e), K/Corin, K/Coryn, K/Corynn(e) all like "cor-in"

there's a girl who spells is Karinne & also pronounces it "cor-in." i like that spelling, but i know people would either say "karen" or "ka-reen."

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I generally don't like K names (except Keturah and Kezia)
I don't know why

[mamakimi.livejournal.com]

I have to friends with that name.

It's pronounced "cor-in"

[mamakimi.livejournal.com]

to = two

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

that's the way I pronounce it as well, I just wanted to see how many other people do as well.

[bornto-fly.livejournal.com]

I prefer Cor-een, but I've heard it both ways.

[americandiva.livejournal.com]

I know two Corinne's

One pronounces it Cor-een and the other Cor-in.

I am more likely to say Cor-in though.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

ah so it's a 50/50 sort of thing

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I like Core-in better as well

[usoccergurl.livejournal.com]

Cor-in

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

me too

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Cor-EEN, because it's a french name

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

ah I see

[lneef.livejournal.com]

In French, "Corinne" would be pronounced "Cor-inn".

If you wanted it pronounced "Cor-een", it would have to be spelled "Corine".

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

nope, simply because the french don't have a short 'i' sound.
they have dipthongs (sp?), like 'magasin' and 'magazine' are read differently because in the first one the syllables are ma-ga-sin, so the -sin is pronounced like 'sen', while the latter is broken into ma-ga-zi-ne, thus separating i-n and pronouncing -zine as 'zeenn'. In this case though, although the syllables would spell Co-rin-ne but the -in- sound here is certainly not 'en'.

[traecrochet.livejournal.com]

Core-IN. I know 2 people with that name and that's how they pronounce it.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

That's the pronunciation I like better as well I just wanted to see if most other people would say it cor-een.
but it seems to be 50/50

[stardottedeyes.livejournal.com]

Cor-in, though I'd probably say it more like Kuh-RIN.

Corinne Juliet is on my list! :)

[alexandria-skye.livejournal.com]

ditto on the first part :) i have a friend with the name corinne :)

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

yeah I guess I do kind of say it more like Kuh than Cor

[juniorfan29.livejournal.com]

My niece's name is Corynne, and it's pronounced cor-in

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

do they call her Cory?

[jordle.livejournal.com]

I would pronounce it Cor-in.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

that's how I say it too.
:)

[mandy-23.livejournal.com]

I would pronounce it Cor-in. I know a girl with this name but it's spelled Korin. I like the name. :)

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I like the nickname Cory alot and the two names that I like which could have that nick name are Corinne and Cordelia.

[todaydream.livejournal.com]

Depends on the language... when I read it in English I say "Co-rin", but in Dutch it's "Cor-in-nuh" to me.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

out of curiosity, how do you say the name Corinna in Dutch?

[todaydream.livejournal.com]

"Cor-IN-nah". In Dutch we pronounce the -ne and -na at the end of names, they're not silent as they are in English.

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

I like the spelling Corinne, and I would say it either Cor-IN or Cor-EEN. But the COR part I pronounce more like Cur or Cuh... sort of like the first syllable in cursive. It's definitely not CORE to me.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

Yeah I guess I do say it a bit softer than Core, as in an apple core. It is more like Cuh.

[the-good-ship.livejournal.com]

Cor-in.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

me too

[supermonkeyfics.livejournal.com]

I know a corinne, & she says it cor-IN, whereas another girl I know who pronounces her name cor-een actually spells it coreen.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

ah I see. I prefer Cor-IN
