6. Second one

Ca-RIB-bean, because it's named after the Carib (emphasis on second syllable) Indians.

I usually use this pronunciation but I can't help but slip back to the other one at times, as when saying "Pirates of the Caribbean" (too many good memories of that Disneyland ride).

7. It is actually the land of warm breezes and azure waters...
and the occasional devastating hurricane...I calls it paradise (except for the hurricane part)

8. it's odd
I always say "Car-I-be-an" unless I'm referring to the ride at Disneyland or the movie franchise; then I say "Car-i-BE-an"
