At least everyone I talk to also says it wrong? Makes me feel slightly better for being so off base. </p> <p>P.S. chicco as key-ko is just wrong. Never would've guessed that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dumb-question-3/page/2#post-1782587 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 22:12:29 +0000 bisous 1782587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread just turned every baby brand pronunciation I thought I knew upside down!

Although, I think @sunny:is right, I don't think they spell it with the ï, just a regular i so I guess that's why it is not pronounced the French way?</p> <p>I say Ay-den and An-I-eese. (Like geese at the end). </p> <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: I disagree with their pronunciation of Béaba products. It's a French brand pronounced bay-uh-bah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dumb-question-3#post-1781867 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 13:21:44 +0000 fairy 1781867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow I pronounced a lot wrong lol I said Ay-den and Uh-nye-s (aden &amp; anais), Muh-della (medela), peh-dee-pehd (Pediped), Roe-beez (Robeez). I knew Umi from Japanese classes but wow some of these are out-there!
