...that's my middle name. .__.;
Lmao, I searched youtube for any video where someone said Renee. [url]http://youtube.com/watch?v=WFb3Ve0vKR4[/url] There's one. That's how I pronounce it.

Are you serious? Wow... *let's start a discussion on Renee" LOL
Anyway... so it's "rené", which was how somebody in my school pronounced it too. But, on this TV show, it was "reNEEE"... I think they probably read it wrong.

XD LMAO, noooo.
When I was younger, I harbored a huge grudge toward my mom because I was just Leah Renee. Leah Renée looked a lot fancier or something, I guess. ^^;

My real name is Vincent the Mexican
I was named after the movie actor Vincent Price. He used to hit on my mom when she worked in the grocery store in North Hollywood.
I don't know how my dad feels about that, but he seems ok with naming me after a guy that used to hit on his wife...... 😕 😔
I said in another thread your sister was my hero, but now so's your mom. I just got named whatever b/c 3 of my grandps's all had the same name..... you got the creepy movie legacy
@rene'- it's french right, pronounced rene'(ren-ay)? Does anybody pronounce it re-neee?

Alone, I'm not fond of either Leah or Renee, but together, I like them a lot. Lol, that's strange, isn't it? One would think that, since I'm not a fan of either name that I'd just hate them twice as much when they're together, but I don't.
XD LMAO. I'm sorry~

Well, when I say it, it's more of re-nay, but, yeah. & I've never heard anyone pronounce it re-neee.

'Cause we Chinese have given up trying to teach the English people how to say our names right. 😀

It's true. -_- My parents were smart enough to keep my Chinese name as a middle name when we moved to America. Or else, people would mess up on saying it, especially since it's Cantonese.
Imagine trying to say Ngar Mei. -__- How do you say "NG"? Ask someone Cantonese, and they might be able to tell you.
Btw. My English name is Margaret. Another name where it's constantly misspelled.

points to username Guess.
I go to school with 3 other 'Amanda's, and unfortunately no-one has bothered to give any of us nicknames, so when someone calls 'Amanda', we all turn around and they just point out which one (like out of a line-up). Which is why when I get to Uni I'm going by something else. No idea what, though. Maybe 'the loner freak in the corner eating her hair'.
My Chinese name is Mei Yi, which I like a whole lot better than Amanda, purely because it's unique (and pretty).

Well, my first name is Merlin. Middle name is Joseph. I share my name with my dad and one of my brothers... It's very fun in my house when someone calls out our name. xD I would have used my real name for a nickname... But it's already so over-used for a nickname that I'd have a hard time defending my use of it. xD

I have a horrid name, Brandy. I'm named after a liquor, which does piss me off a bit.
Girl: "Say something!"
Boy: "Something..."
Girl: That's not what I ment! -huffs-
