Could be. She pronounces it "John-cload" (as in, "load the dishwasher") and I pronounce it "Jean-Clod" (with Jean sounding like the style of pants.) Are either of those at least close to how you pronounce his name in your head?
In the audio version, Kimberly Alexis pronounces it Zhon (as in on) Clawed, as it would sound in French
LOL, I think of the actor - Jean Claud Van Dam and that is how I hear the name in my head. Like - John Claud - Claud sounds like Clause but with a D.
@Crystal: Go to Laurell's IG and watch her reels. She says his name. You and your mom are both wrong but you have the Claude part right.
@Sherily: Yes! Just like Jean-Claude Van Damme. Claude like the word 'laud' (lod).
Claude sounds like - Clawed - John Clawed
I always just thought of it as french so like Jean-Claude Van Damme so Jean sounds like fawn and Claude sounds like Maude or pawed
I like to do a google search for pronunciation's of items that bug me, sometimes you'll find vids pronouncing them differently .... Maybe find a video of of a pronounciation akin to how you pronounce it and share the link. You guys have me curious now, cause I pronounce it like the actor Jean-Claude Van Damme.
