	CalifJim  #357693  Sun, 29 Apr 07 10:57 PM For many surnames you need to ask the person himself, or someone who knows how to pronounce his or her name.  Even the same surname is pronounced differently by different people who have that name! The only Gagne I've ever known about pronounced his name  gahn -YAY.

	Grammar Geek  #357795  Mon, 30 Apr 07 05:54 AM Hi - You posted this in another thread too. Here is what I said there: Well... I've heard gone-yay'. But in Maine, where they over-Anglicize the French last names, believe it or not, it's gag'-nee. (So although CJ and I spelled our pronunciation differently, I think we agree on the mainstream pronunciation. Until you get to Maine.)    Grammar Geek Joined on Tue, Jan 10 2006 Pennsylvania, USA Veteran Member (16,098) Barbara, who answers in American English.

Pronunciation, Grammar

	Grammar Geek  #357993  Mon, 30 Apr 07 02:35 PM Sorry, Conchita, yes, that's what I meant. Marvin - most Amerians aren't so tuned in to French pronunciation that they distinguish gon from gawn.    Grammar Geek
