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

Since I'm female, probably the former.

CAR-mine (male name, usually Italian extraction)

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

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...
