    Default Sarah or Seerah

    Tina or Teena

    Mary or Marie

    Joan or Joanne


    Megan or Vegan

    Manus or Anus

    On so on..


    Names that can be pronounced the same way, but in fact are actually very different.

    Lol "vay-gan" sounds like a girl with *pre-emptive snip*

    Mary/Marie are pronounced differently are have emphasis on different syllables. Mary is "MA-ree" and Marie is "muh-REE"

    Also, Joanne is usually two syllables.

    Sarah = Sear-ah
    Sara = Sah-rah
    Tina = Tee-nah
    Teena = I've never seen this name in my life.
    Mary = Mear-ee
    Marie = Mah-ree
    Joan = Joan ()
    Joanne = Joe-an
    Megan = Mee-gin
    Vegan = Vee-gin
    Manus = Man-iss
    Anus = Ay-niss

    So basically aside from that Tina/Teena one, I can't think of any of these names that are pronounced the same way. However, I know of people named Sara/Marie that pronounce their names the same was as Sarah/Mary, so I can see where you're coming from with that one. It all comes down to how the individual says their name should be pronounced.

    They are both pronounced exactly the same xD Rhymes with Air-uh. Every Sarah/Sara I've ever known (and I've known quite a few) is pronounced that way.

    Well they are wrong. It's what BoB said imo.

    I think you guys just have no idea how the word "sear" is actually pronounced.

    Accents! Sear, dear, dare, care, seer, bear, bare, lair, leer, it's all rhymin'. I always have to keep in mind how different accents say different words when I ready poems/songs/parodies because reading it in my accent often leads to them not rhyming at all.

    Sarah, like Carer with a southern drawl on the end

    Sara, like Sahara, but you didn't laugh in the middle

    GUESS IF YOU WANT TO GET REAL TECHNICAL THE THE ACCENT IS ON THE LAST SYLLABLE IN THE FIRST AND ON THE FIRST IN THE LAST i think

    No double posting please. ~Pike
