Coraline

what do you think of it?

how would you pronounce it: CORA-lynn, CORA-line, or cora-LEEN ?

Cora-line, and I don't like it...too much like Caroline, but less pretty.

First instinct was Cora-LEEN.

It's interesting but would be troublesome of pronunciation. As one whose first and last name is mispronounced, I can tell you that sucks.

I pronounce it as cora-leen but I think it should be cora-line.

Cora-line. And I love it. It's a great book by Neil Gaimen.

Yup.

Good Omens is set to come out in.. 2009 I believe or 2010. I *THINK* they are supposed to film it next year.

THe good thing is Neil is keeping a lot of the script in his hands.

I would pronounce it like Caroline..but with Core obviously.

I don't really like it. It's not horrible though.

love it, and it is the name of a great book. I would say it CORA-line.

i dont like it. my name is caroline and i suspect that she would forever be correcting people that her name isnt caroline, its coraline. that would sort of stink.

My first thought was cora-leen, but after I stared at it for a moment, I thought, "No, that ought to be cora-line."

I like cora-lynn the best of the three, though.
