Thread Name: BS: Pronunciation of 'Colin'
Subject: RE: BS: Pronunciation of 'Colin'
Well here in Canada (a cultural oasis sitting now here and now there between the two cultures) anybody I've known with the name has alway pronounced it Caw-lin. Coh-lin seems affected to me, sort of like holding your pinky at an angle when drinking tea which isn't really classy but only thinks it is, but I don't know an awful lot about vowels in other dialects or regions.
