I guess the women I knew had just allowed people to American-ize/butcher the pronunciation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-1#post-2818552 Thu, 26 Apr 2018 09:09:17 +0000 peachykeen 2818552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 2 Indian American friends named Anjali and they both pronounce it AHN-juh-lee... I'm guessing they just gave in to the Americanized pronunciation. Pretty name either way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-1#post-2818510 Thu, 26 Apr 2018 06:06:12 +0000 bubblegum 2818510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: @hony bologna: @Mrs. Lemon-Lime: so interesting! The girl in the video pronounced it on-joe-lee. Maybe that’s why the spelling is different? Either way it a very beautiful name </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-1#post-2818503 Thu, 26 Apr 2018 01:05:20 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2818503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’d pronounce like Traveling Bee, but see that would be wrong @hony bologna: </p> <p>Kinda related Rihanna says her name totally different than the way Americans say it adding more pizzazz to the Anna part. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-1#post-2818499 Wed, 25 Apr 2018 22:46:58 +0000 hony bologna 2818499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just chiming in here to say that the Indian name 'Anjali' is actually pronounced UHN-juh-lee, not AHN-juh-lee, so the first syllable rhymes with 'sun' (same with Anjana being pronounced UHN-juh-nah, etc.). Agree that it's a lovely name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-1#post-2818478 Wed, 25 Apr 2018 19:58:23 +0000 LCTBQE 2818478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bubblegum: fyi unless I'm mistaken the Indian pronunciation is AHN-ju-lee, emphasis on the first syllable :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-1#post-2818477 Wed, 25 Apr 2018 19:56:59 +0000 LCTBQE 2818477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: yeah, the two women I've known with this name spelled it Anjuli, which is not Stephanie- or Jennifer-easy but it is really unitive to pronounce when you see it, and it rolls off the tongue to say it. Lovely name. Although I think it's criminal to shorten it to Julie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-1#post-2818468 Wed, 25 Apr 2018 19:44:33 +0000 summerfruit 2818468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>on-juh-lee </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-1#post-2818460 Wed, 25 Apr 2018 19:18:40 +0000 bubblegum 2818460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beehive: @My Only Sunshine: ahhhh I like that spelling more! </p> <p>@lamariniere: it’s sucha beautiful name! I heard it today for the first time and was in love. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-1#post-2818458 Wed, 25 Apr 2018 19:10:00 +0000 lamariniere 2818458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beehive: @My Only Sunshine: I had a good Indian-American friend in HS named Anjuli (ahn-ju-lee) and just about everyone called her Julie. I thought it was such a pretty name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-1#post-2818446 Wed, 25 Apr 2018 18:27:06 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2818446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bubblegum: My daughter had a teacher named Anjali. I think that’s the traditional Indian spelling. I think it’s so beautiful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-1#post-2818354 Wed, 25 Apr 2018 10:55:22 +0000 Beehive 2818354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bubblegum: If you're thinking about this as a possible name, Anjali may be a more intuitive spelling? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-1#post-2818353 Wed, 25 Apr 2018 10:50:55 +0000 psw27 2818353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as travellingbee said! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-1#post-2818347 Wed, 25 Apr 2018 10:41:21 +0000 bubblegum 2818347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Very true! I didn't think about that </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-1#post-2818342 Wed, 25 Apr 2018 10:32:56 +0000 Foodnerd81 2818342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bubblegum: I would pronounce it the same as above. However? I think SPELLING it would be the hard part. She would forever have to spell it out letter by letter, which would be a deal breaker for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-1#post-2818341 Wed, 25 Apr 2018 10:28:14 +0000 bubblegum 2818341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: @Boopers: @LAZB: @snowjewelz: Correct! I'm actually shocked lol I'm horrible pronunciation so I thought this would be a bit tricky. My kids have SUPER easy names but I kinda like the uniqueness of this name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-1#post-2818338 Wed, 25 Apr 2018 10:11:20 +0000 snowjewelz 2818338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as first response and also after reading it/saying it a few times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-1#post-2818336 Wed, 25 Apr 2018 10:09:07 +0000 LAZB 2818336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On-jo-lee </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-1#post-2818334 Wed, 25 Apr 2018 10:03:18 +0000 Boopers 2818334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: I’d pronounce it the same way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-1#post-2818333 Wed, 25 Apr 2018 10:02:40 +0000 travellingbee 2818333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awn-joe-lee.
