Well, I can take comfort in knowing that 99% of the people I say his name to will have no idea what the correct pronounciation is anyway!! :p I'm am terribly Americanized and horrible at accents.

I wonder if to be hired as an SA, you have to go through pronunciation boot camp! :greengrin:

haha, definitely not, since most of them don't seem to even know what the style names are, let alone how to pronounce them! I know this has a lot to do with the fact that both NM and Saks (and I'm sure others) refer to their CLs with generic names, like "suede pump" .. very descriptive!

Haha that is so true. Anyone I talk to about CLs just calls them "Loubs" or "Loubies" anyway. And most people in my circle have no clue so I just don't talk about it at all. My mom calls them my "fancy red soled shoes" And my darling husband calls them "Christian Louiebuittons" - Like Louis Vuitton but with a B, and all one word. He does it of course, just to drive me crazy. :D

Hehe, yesterday I was talking to an SA at Saks about a particular pair of Decolletes on display, and when I pronounced it dek-uhl-tey (thanks to LedaAtomica! :D), he was quick to "correct" me and pronounced it deh-kuh-let. Haha! :p

ShoeBunny it must be a male thing because my BF says the same thing (minus the "B" sound)...Christian LouisVuittons :push:No matter how many times I correct him he still says it his way :shrugs: God forbid he should do this is a shoe store :nuts: I will act like I dont know him UNLESS of course he's buying. If he's paying, he can call them whatever he wants :D

LOL...Alice, at first I thought you meant to put a link in when you said 'this is it'. I'm slow.:nuts::p I will have to look back through this thread then. I thought it was a separate thread. Thanks for letting me know!

All of them Alice! No..., seriously, I'm more just curious. I thought it was fun looking through all of the names and reading the pronunciations. When I went back to try and find the thread a few days ago, I couldn't find it. I thought it was it's own thread that was dedicated to pronunciations (written) though. Ah well....
