I'd always won...Thanks for the enlightenment... I'd always wondered, because you were the first of that name I'd ever encountered. But just to be very clear, when pronounced correctly, does the short version sound like "Een" or "Yeen"? I've been thinking of it more or less as how one would pronounce "Ian"... starting out like Yannick (in its French pronunciation... I have a teacher friend who has a son with that name)... though I now know that's not right...Muddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04842531684926537903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4469436682373656280.post-8354586878626340702017-07-30T13:29:01.110-07:002017-07-30T13:29:01.110-07:00LOL!

Even in the age where Jacqueline was the first lady of the USA. So I dropped it to the nickname form in part because my family called me Jack. Jackie was as misspelled as Jacqueline so I went by my mother's preferred spelling of the shorter name, Jacqui. It at least did not get me called Jackie Gleason. What amazes me now is on FB with the correct spelling right there it still gets misspelled. I think some people are idiots as in believing the earth is flat and 5500 years old.<br /><br />But I really appreciated your blog about your name, Ien. When we meet for lunch in the future I can pronounce it correctly.JBinford-Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293248281473648182noreply@blogger.com
