Default The pronunciation of English names!!!

Hi there. I opened this topic to ask you if you have difficulties when you have to pronounce an English name. I have to confess I am always in trouble when I have to pronouce these names. Who can help me? Is there an online Dictionary of English names?


Kind regards,

Some books of baby names have the pronunciations in them. Check your local library or perhaps an online bookstore for books about "What to Name Your New Baby."
