How would you spell a female name that was pronounced (core-rin)?
Corinn? Corinne? or??

Thank you! :)

I've known a girl named Corinne who pronounced it as you are saying..Core-inn.

I know a woman named Corine who pronounces it like Chlorine. Core-een.

[hygher.livejournal.com]

Oh I thought you meant her name was pronounced chlorine for a second there.

Thank You :)

I thought Corrine was the spelling but I guess that's for "Cor-ene", not "Cor-inn" so I think 2 n's would be better.

Thank You :)

Sure thing...I didn't have much to add but was glad to give my opinion. Is Corinn something you thought up yourself or heard somewhere?

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

Well, I love the name Corina and then my husband suggested Corinn. But, I swear I've heard the name somewhere, I just can't remember where.

Wasn't there a movie by the name of Corinna Corinna? Yeah, with Whoopie Goldberg and that adorable girl from Napolean Dynomite.

Corin/Corinne... i know two who use these spellings. It's one of those names that doesnt really matter...

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

Thank You :)

I pronounce Corinne as cuh-RIN, which I think is much the same, so if someone introduced herself as "core-rin" I would assume it was spelled Corinne. Hope that helps.. it's a nice name

Thank You :)

A girl in my choir class' name is core-in but it's spelled Corryn.

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

Hmm. That's interesting.

Thank You :)

[turabiannights.livejournal.com]

I'd spell it Corrin. Corrine/Corinne looks like "Core-een" to me.

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

Thank You :)

I'm with the majority and say Corinne.

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

Thank You :)

Corynne/Corinne

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

Thank You :)

[julieannie.livejournal.com]

The person I knew spelled hers Corin but I prefer it as Corinne.

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

Thank You :)

[glitterberrys.livejournal.com]

If the emphasis is on the first syllable, Corin. If it's cor-IN, "Corinne."

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

Thank You :)

[smasharash.livejournal.com]

I know it as Corrin

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

Thank You :)

[thunderofsins.livejournal.com]

That was my "daughter"'s birthname and it was spelled Corrinne...though I thought it should have had only one "r" so Corinne is "right" to me.

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

Thank You :)

If it matters to you, Corin &tc. are usually boys names.

I believe in English, Corinne could be pronounced either way. I would say "Cor-een" because I speak French, but I imagine you'll hear both pronounciations from strangers encountering the name for the first time.

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

Thank You :)

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

I would say Cor-REEN for the spelling Corinne. For the pronunciation COR-in, I would spell it Corin and give it to a boy. For the pronunciation Cuh-RIN, I would spell it Corryn or Coryn and give it to a girl.

Does that make sense?

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

Yes, it does make sense!

Thank You :)

I worked with an older women at a dept store and she spelled her name Corinne and for a bit I dditn know how to say it until I heard her say it and it was COR-IN. I know a COR REEN and she spells it Coreen.

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it seems like one of those names that people would often have trouble with. It's very nice, though. :)

[x-lostinyou.livejournal.com]

One of my closest friends is named Corinne, and it is pronounced 'Core-inn'.

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]
