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,
mad-ox

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."
