Prairie, white as they come (even had to google what gringo was lol) But I still blame the Nintendo game for my pronunciation lol... mrsmate on "How do you say "Mario"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-say-mario#post-596089 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 23:30:57 +0000 mrsmate 596089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Pen: the Italians in this country are pretty gringo-ized, no? I married into a large Italian family in Boston. The only thing Italian about them is their last name and the bragiole at Christmas. And no one speaks the language. I don't think I've ever met an Italian-American who speaks Italian.

In AZ we have tons of Mario's, and they all go by Mahr-io.

My husband, a dude from the country, pretty much rages whenever he hears it. He's staunchly on team "Mah-rio" on refuses to acknowledge that technically, both versions are correct. I've known a few "Mary-o's" in my day so obviously they're not saying their name wrong. swedishfish on "How do you say "Mario"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-say-mario#post-558308 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 20:49:58 +0000 swedishfish 558308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Pen: well, it IS an Italian name :) I say it Marry-o and I'm a Long Islander. <a href="http://nameberry.com/babyname/Mario" rel="nofollow">http://nameberry.com/babyname/Mario</a> travelgirl1 on "How do you say "Mario"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-say-mario#post-558292 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 20:36:29 +0000 travelgirl1 558292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Pen: we say it like your hubby :) Mrs. Pen on "How do you say "Mario"" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-say-mario#post-558289 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 20:33:02 +0000 Mrs. Pen 558289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @KJfromNJ: hahaha yup. I think it's the Italians that say it like that then!!! cause that's NOT how you'd say it in Spanish and it's an equally popular name in both cultures! LI is primarily Italian too so that may be where DH gets it from.
