If you're meaning the dreary woman with the specs...

there are several ways of saying your name...

Care to write it phonetically for us?



Well, I pronounce it Dear dra... (never Deerdree, or even worse - Deedree!), but the posher (and probably more correct) version is Der-dreh.



Hehe, thanks!!

I know someone who says *Der-dreh*.

I probably say Deer-dray most often. That's how us Northerners tend to say it. But I like to say people's names the way they say them if I can. I shorten my name to Jo, because I can only bear the way the Irish and Scots say it. Or Geordies, I think... The posh English way, and the American way are truly dreadful.

Catriona is another one of those names. I've a friend who goes mental if you say Katrina for that. And Niamh is another one. Some say Neeve, and others more like Ni-av. Funny old thing, names.

I've been calling Tekosi *Mak-oh-sea* so I feel all virtuous now! hehe.

Have often wondered if it's pronounced Vag-(as in rag) a - bond, or

Vag (as in ..Madge) - a bond?

(no - I'm not that thick, really!)

I blame you for the fact that Ainslie Henderson was in my dreams last night - can't say he's ever made much of an impression on me in the past!

I love your name Dear (dree!) :D It's quite unusual these days I think. My baby niece is called Niambh (I say Neev) I must try hard to not talk about her too much but she's so gorgeous its hard to get her out of my head! Her eyes are massive and blue and she just sticks her tongue out and giggles when you blow rasperries on her chubby little belly... well she's just the most beautiful baby in the world I think! :D
