My name is Shanna.
It's pronounced Shan-nuh. It rhymes with banana. It sounds just exactly like it's spelled. One would think it would be a no-brainer.
It is not Shawn-nuh. Or Sheen-nuh. Or Shane-nuh. Or Shan-nun. Or Shawn-nun.
:rolleyes:
I often wonder if they still teach phoenics in school.
I instantly hang up on people who ask for Shawna, Sheena, Shana, Shannon, Shawnon or Sharon on the phone. It's an instant tip-off to a cold sales call.
Anna. Rhymes with banana (that's why it's been my nickname my entire life:rolleyes: :p).
Not really, when you consider that my name is Dutch....not American.Quote:

My real name is Katharina, prounounced Kat-uh-ree-nuh.. but everyone call me Katie, Kay-tee
My name is Elizabeth. Pronounced Ah-Liz-Ah-Beth, Uh-Liz-A-Beth or Eee-Liz-A-Beth. Any way you like it! I say it "Uh-Liz-A-Beth" most of the time. Or you can just call me Liz. ;)
My mom has kind of a cool name - her name is Zlata (she was born in Slovenia). Pronounced kinda like "Szlot-ta," two syllables. That always messes people up. We've heard:
Zah-lah-tah
Zel-ah-tah
Sall-ah-tah
Zelda (?? don't know where people get that one, but she gets called it often!!)
Lah-tah
But, it's understandable, so we don't mind. That's why she named me something easy, something I could make a nickname out of if I didn't like it. Mom goes by Z or Z.Z. a lot for a nickname.
:D

I can always tell if someone is a friend of mine by the way they pronounce my name (over the phone....in person, I recognize my friends, usually).
I have to tell my husband that I was right. Every time I say your name he corrects me and says it's Jo-Anna. I'm glad you replied to this post. I love being right!!!!
really? lol my moms name is spelled the same but pronounce Jo-anna :pQuote:
