Hey ladies, stiiiiilllll searching for a name for DD2. DH and I were watching the Maltese Falcon the other night and both liked the name that sounds like "kuh-ryn." The emphasis seems to be about equal on both syllables. What spelling would you use to get this pronunciation? The movie used "Corinne," but I imagine most would pronounce that "kor-een." What do you guys think? Caryn (seems made up)?
EDIT: Okay, the clear consensus is Corinne. Yay! But now I find myself drawn to "kuh-rinn-uh" - same pronunciation but with an "a" at the end. Would that just be Corinna? I see that "Carina" is much more popular, but I want the middle syllable to be "rinn" not "reen." Thanks again!
Re: EDIT: Getting to"kuh-rinn-uh" OR "kuh-ryn"
In any case, I have a niece named Corinne, and we pronounce it kuh-ryn. The r is the beginning of the second syllable. Her nickname is Rin-Rin and Rinney.
Caryn is an odd variant of Karen.
@Bringmemylongswordho "Corinne" is referred to in the Maltese Falcon rather than a character. Mary Astor's character's first story to Sam Spade is that she followed her vulnerable sister "Corinne" to San Francisco...
Corinna would be like Corinne with an -uh on the end.
