How do you pronounce Alcina?
| Fri, 02-10-2006 - 12:03am |
My friend is thinking about naming her daughter Alcina and I think she's pronouncing the name wrong. She's saying "Al see nah" but I'm thinking it's "Al chee nah". Then today a coworker said it's "Al kin ah" Aaaah! Does anyone know for sure?

I've never known anyone with this name, but all the baby name sites I've seen it on seem to agree on al-SEEN-nah (probably about the same as your friend is saying, I'm sure). Here's a link! :)

Incidentally, it did make me think of Al Pacino. ;)

No problem. If you do a search for "baby name Alcina" or something to that extent you should be able to find it on a bunch more as well ... I just knew I'd see it on there recently. LOL Glad it helped. :)

I pronounce it like this: "Alice. Er, sorry. I mean Allison. Oh, wait... Al--er--Alseena?" then I think to myself, "Al's seen a what?"
Sad but true.
