how do you pronounce the name Renée or Renee, do you say them differently? i say both like "Reh-nay" or "Rah-nay"... i know that without the accent, it is also sometimes said like "Ree-nee" or "Ren-ee." it is my boyfriend's daughter's middle name, & they pronounce it like "REE-nay", hard emphasis on the "REE." i don't mind the name, but how they pronounce it really turns me off from it. :|

My old manager was named Renee. I pronounced it as 'Rah-nay'.

i say it the same way you do: rah-NAY. i'm pretty sure that's how it's supposed to be pronounced. tell your boyfriend he's butchering his poor daughter's name. =/

'reh-NAY', either way. I've never heard it pronounced differently. 'Ree-nee' or 'Ren-ee' or 'REE-nay' just seem wrong.

I say Reh-nay. I really don't like Ree-nee or Ree-nay!

Ruh-NAY.

And I like it spelled with the accent, not without. I always figured they were the same name, only spelled differently. Like Britney and Brittany.

yeah, i never wanted to hurt his feelings lol. he didn't pick out her name, & i'm pretty sure her mother just used it as a filler, because there's no one in either family with that name.

I don't like how they pronounce it either. I say Reh-NAY. I'm not crazy about the name though.

That's my name, but I like it only how we pronounce it: Reh-nay. Said any other way to me it sounds like a weird nickname. I've probably been called every version you can think of though...and I hate it. The ONLY person I ever allowed to pronounce it any differently (and get away with it) was my grandma and she pronounced it the way your boyfriend's daughter's middle name is pronounced.

Renée is French, so it is pronounced the French way. Reh-nay, though the "reh" is more like "reuh".
