Thread Name: MacPherson [how to pronounce?]
Subject: RE: MacPherson [how to pronounce?]
So, Murray, maybe my old Latin teacher knew what she was calling herself, after all!:-)
Another one in Massachusetts was Chelmsford pronounced CHUMS-ferd.
In Connecticut it is pronounced BER-lin as opposed to the German berLIN.
I am always a little taken aback when someone hears my last name and asks how it is spelled...I always tell them ell-ay- then the country "France!" Then they get all flustered about how to pronounce it...La Franz or La Frawnz. It's pretty funny sometimes.
