the story wap, I see; but my take: I don't think Ace Knute is bad for a little boy. (Jessica Simpson's new baby).

Ace is usually a nickname from something else, but it's cute; and Knute is a family name.

- it's how knute rockne preferred his name to be pronounced. - b. Jul 1, 15:13 3
  - Just my personal preference, but I think it's a mistake to insist on unusual pronunciation. - loosilu Jul 1, 15:26 2
    - if it's a one-off, sure; but there's room for ann-drea and ahn-drea, etc. - b. Jul 1, 15:31 1
      - oh I know. it's not black and white in any way. -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 15:32

  - according to my co worker, that's close to the actual correct (norwegian) pronunciation. -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 15:11 2
    - heh, I was just going to correct part of my im above. I asked a coworker, too - he said it's usually more like that, but he's heard the hard k, too. - b. Jul 1, 15:21 1
      - wheres Liioulu when we need her??? :) -- nm - peglegpete Jul 1, 15:23
