To know how to pronounce a name, look under its pronunciation. Our authors have devised a simple and intuitive method of describing the pronunciation of parts of a name by using similar sounding examples of English words.
For example, "Matilda" is pronounced as muh-til-duh. Notice that we associate "da" in "Matilda" with the pronunciation duh, which has the same quiet "uh"-sound characteristic as the word "run".
