Ryan Phillippe is French, so how would Phillippe be pronounced.... Phil-leep?

shareSaoirse Ronan
shareI saw her interviewed and since then I've had no problem pronouncing her name. She makes it very easy with this: if you can say inertia, you can say sirsha. And that is how her name is pronounced, just remember inertia.
shareSo let's see ... the a and the o are silent, and the se at the end is pronounced sha.
Oh well, at least I never felt like an idiot for being unable to pronounce her name correctly.
And for the record, ever since I first saw her in The Lovely Bones, I had always pronounced her name as Say-or-ease.
Now I know better, so thanks for the info, jf22561.
👍 Glad to help
shareI was going to post her, but had no idea where to begin spelling her name.
It's a deadly showbiz name unless you are SUPER famous and people MUST learn your name.
Ralph Fiennes
shareTook mine lol.
"It's Rafe actually" 💙💙💙💙
I 💙 him, but am too self-conscious about pronouncing both his names to talk about him. Is Fiennes pronounced Fee-in-es? Fines?

shareDo you think it's "sea- dow (as in crowd)", Jones?
shareYes that’s how I’ve always said it.
shareI suppose the only way to get consensus is to hear it spoken by a native Swede.
Anyone know one?
this, from a site called "comingsoon.net", interview with Max V.
ComingSoon.net: It’s really only two syllables and vowels so it shouldn’t be so hard. So it’s pronounced “von see-doh” then.
Max von Sydow: It’s even difficult in Sweden because it’s not a Swedish name. My people came from Germany way back 200 years ago, but it’s not even a German name. I think it is very much Eastern German, maybe Slavic.
Max V doesn't contradict the interviewer, so I suppose we can take it for a fact that "Sea-Dough" is the correct pronunciation.
