if your name was "Carmine" would you pronounce it "car-min" or "car-mine"?

Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :

Since I'm female, probably the former.

Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :

I'd change it.

Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :

CAR-mine (male name, usually Italian extraction)

CAR-min (female name) would be spelled "Carmen"

Jim, I came into this tread whistling.

Carmine... as in, the place where you dig up automobiles from deep in the earth.

That's how the color carmine is pronounced anyway.

Me, I'd insist on "Car-mee-nay" (roll the R) [Razz]

If you can make a heap of all oyur winnings,
and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
and lose, and start again at your beginnings,
and never breathe a word about your loss...
