Sarah

Okay, based on a convo I just had with grypx...


How do you pronounce Sarah? It happens to be my name. I thought it was just a standard, normal pronunciation, but apparently not.


I have always heard it (my whole life and referring to anyone else with the name) as sair-uh - the first syllable rhyming with hair.



You?

I say it like you do - sair-uh - but I've also heard it pronounced sahr-uh.

I'm in Ontario, Canada - I wonder if it varies geographically?

For the record, I pronounce Sarah and Sara exactly the same way. Sair-uh. Sahr-uh, well, that just sounds weird to me.

Also, the Meghan/Megan thing. I pronounce them both Megg-ann, but some say Mee-gann, regardless of spelling, and I know one Mee-gann who spelled it Megan and insisted that Meghan is Megg-ann and Megan is Mee-gan.

I *loathe* the Mee-gan pronunciation, and Megg-ann is boring.

My sentiments exactly.

I pronounce everything the same way as you do. Sarah and Sara are the same. As are Megan and Meghan.

And I'm also in Ontario, heh, so maybe that's why.

Funny....I pronounce it May-gan. And I prefer the spelling Meaghan.

I always thought "Mee-gan" was the pronunciation for the spelling "Meagan/Meaghan" :-/

Re: Sarah - I've always said it "Sair-uh" too. And I live in CT.
