how do you pronounce Corinna? (read details)

ive been saying kuh-rihn-uh..or do you think its more commonly said as kuh-reen-uh? which do you prefer? and what do you think of the name?

do you like this combo: Corinna Kanani = beautiful maiden..is it too c and k heavy? the middle name has to be hawaiian

i thought Corinna would be a good option because my husbands family is spanish speaking so if they pronounce it as coe-rrreeen-ah it still sounds nice

my sons name is Alexander Ikaika..what do you think of Alexander & Corinna nn Alex & Cori

I pronounce it cor-INN-a, and I think other people would too because of the 'inn' part. I think it's a nice name, and it goes well with Alexander. Carina is also another nice choice that would be accessible to Spanish-speakers.

I pronounce it Cor-een-ah, but that is probably because the first time I heard this name was on the movie "Corrina, Corrina", and that is how they pronounced it.

I adore this name, and I LOVE it with the hawaiian middle name!

I always thought that Corrina is pronounced Core-een-uh, but Corinna is pronounced Core-inn-uh.

I actually prefer Corrina (core-een-uh), but I like them both.

Oops! I did misread the name - sorry!

Yes, JLM is right, Corinna is pronounced Cor-inn-ah, Corrina is pronounced Cor-een-ah.

My mistake!

This is my name, and it is spelled exactly like this. It is pronounced, Core-een-ah, though your child will probably here it promounced every way possible. My father came up with the name after the song Corinna, Corinna, which there are many beautiful versions of (my favourite is Bob Dylan's).

I pronounce it Cor-eee-nah too and it sounds very pretty too me:)

Re: how do you pronounce Corinna? (read details)

I prefer the Cor-INN-uh but, as other pp's have said, it will probably be pronounced both ways. If that doesn't bother you--if you like both or don't mind correcting, then I think it is a beautiful name. It goes well with Alexander and I like it with the Hawaiian mn.
