French speakers, I need help with a pronunciation.

[MissMarple]

How do you say Remy as in St. Remy? Thanks! "D

We are thinking of naming a pet after the brandy.

1. I have not studied French in 30 years...but do you want to be

making that 'hocking' sound for the R every time you call your dog?

[lanlady]

2. RAY-me

good name for a pet!

[MissMarple]

3. Thank you!!!

It's for a St. Bernard, a compromise from Brandy.

And, I'm LOL, DebJ, I can't roll the Spanish "r", let along the that echhhh thing.

4. Don't get hung up on the pronunciation -

it's actually quite easy: Ray me, or better, Rem-me.

As noted, if you can start the R in the back of your throat that's better but I don't think Remy will get hung up on the difference so long as you're holding a doggie biscuit...

5. Chuckling out loud.

The kids have been saying Rem-me. And she is such a sweetie...but VERY BIG.

[Whoa_Nelly]

6. Don't forget to roll that "R"

at the back of your tongue, and almost into your throat! :smoke:

[MissMarple]

7. Gack!!!

:D

[Whoa_Nelly]

8. Just think "Deep Throat"

eom

[MissMarple]

9. OK...then double gack.

:hi:
