But here the sound is more like "er" so the name is rarely pronounced the way it should be. And people pronounce it differently depending on what part of Canada they live. We pronounce it with the umlaut and confuses people We are also married about 4 decades :D<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6607988938023368182.post-89224000398803647732013-04-26T09:12:41.229-07:002013-04-26T09:12:41.229-07:00How funny and interesting... and I would totally b...How funny and interesting... and I would totally be one to pronounce it Week-mun.

I avoided the entire issue of names 25 years ago but not changing mine. It still surprised me that more young women don't embrace this option. It's so much easier, and I've never regretted it. My daughters have even said they wished they had MY name!Ms. Yinglinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805324364289597178noreply@blogger.com
