There's a guy on my bus with the name of Lucandrea. I'm not sure if this is a made-up name by his parents or what, but does anyone have the slightest idea of how to pronounce that?

Luke-ohn-dray-ah?

EDIT- I'd ask him, but it'd be slightly awkward.

From the way it's spelled, I would pronounce it ...

Loose - ohn - dray - ah

[littlehounddog.livejournal.com]

I would pronounce it "Luce-Andrea".

Seems pretty clear to me that it's Italian and a combination of Luca and Andrea - so, equivalent of our Luke-Andrew. I'd pronounce it Luke-AndrEa.

There are other Italian names that are two names put together into one, without hyphens or anything - Gianluca comes to mind.

Yup, that's exactly what it is. Gianfranco and Lanfranco are other examples.

Luk-an-DRAY-a (it's not quite as 'oo'ish as the English Luke, and it's not 'on' in the second syllable, it's an like Ann).

He's definitely Italian. His full name is Lucandrea Campanelli.

is it;
Luc-Andrea or Luce-n-drea?
Luce prncd like Loose?

i kinda think Luce-n-drea sounds quite nice

I think have seen Lucandrea as a last name before.

Sounds like a Hollywood couple - Lucas and Andrea. Like Brangelina or Bennifer.

I'd probably guess luke-an-drey-uh.

It seems like it'd be a tough name to grow through in childhood.
