GA Russell Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Phineas Newborn, Jr. I had always pronounced Phineas with a short i, as in Phineas T. Bluster. But yesterday I heard Rhonda Hamilton on Sirius pronounce it with a long i. She is married to Michael Carvin, and she mentioned that she had once met Newborn, so I suppose she ought to know. Anybody certain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leadingoboe Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Kai Winding? As a Dane, he would have pronounced it something like Kye (rhyming with "eye") Vinning, but very few people, apart from Danes, are capable of pronouncing ANY of their names correctly.

James Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 And how 'bout these Norwegians: Knut Riisnaes (tenor) Bjorn Alterhaug (bass) Espen Rud (drums) The first names are common of course (except Espen) but the last leave me wunnerin.

I wouldn't even DARE to imagine how this came out if pronounced by an English-speaking person of NON-Scandinavian descent. As far as I can see a passably correct pronounciation would be pretty hard or even impossible to transcribe in "writing" anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
