How is HANNAME pronounced?

[mamaprincess]

It's how ever you hear it in your head. I usually hear Ha-NA-may. occasionaly Ha- Na-me like tsunami.

I think HANNAME rhymes with ANIME. In fact I can see a cute little Anime fiqure with large eyes named Hanname!

If I am greeted with Hanname however it's pronounced by the greeter I will return the greeting. Hanname.

Exactly! The pronunciation part, I mean - the part about big eyed cartoons is disturbing and suggests the need for therapy.

That's exactly the way I pronounce it in my head too.

Okay, I haven't read the "Hanname" thread, but I thought it was a serious thread!!!!

My dd has the Disney Sing along songs, "Flik's Animal Adventure" in AK. In this video, they sing a song called, "Hanname Jambo". It goes:

Hanname Jambo, Hello Hello...Hanname Jambo, Hello.

They pronounce it Ha-NAH-may Jahmbo...so, I voted for number 3 above.

I don't think the OP had this in mind on the other thread....but, DH said he read that "Hanname Jambo" means welcome to our village in Swahili.

Not a bad slogan for the DVC dis, huh??!!!

Pretty cool, Beca. I hope you decide to read the Hanname thread! Really, no one should miss out

 

[Nanajo1]

I voted for ha NA me because it sounded more exotic, mysterious, ha NA me is calling to me.... and I must answer.

I spelled it phonetically to avoid confusion. Notice the "-" between the sylables and the ha-na-May that I compared it to in the beginning. If I wrote it hanname and then compared it, I would have to write natazoo. Clear now?

It was a joke, clear now?

Ah, ya. Not knowing what Anime is I googled it and was very disturbed. Not the image I was having with Hanname.

And just how is Anime pronounced anyway?

You know, I've never heard of this song, but that's EXACTLY the reason I pronounce it "ha-NA-may". I would picture in my head being in AK and likening Hanname to "Jambo". Weird, huh? I must've subconciously heard it somewhere before and picked it up!

 

[MJTinNH]

I voted HANNAH-may. It was like that in my head from the beginning.

Finally found this poll. I like teh pronounciations similar to O'hana. My head still calls it ha - name, though.

Ditto previous poster who said they'd respond no matter how it was pronounced!

That would be your arch enemy...MAMA bwahahahahbwahhahah

 

[wtpclc]

I never said you were my enemy. I've loved your posts! Just don't want you to get too many of them!

Can't you feel the hanname?

 

[mamaprincess]

AHH my friend, I know you so well. Now back to Hanname!

 

[flminivanmama]

i've been reading it like the girl's name "Hannah Mae" LOL

 

[Par8hed]

Ha-na-me Rhymes with Tsunami

 

[TW1]

Ha-na-me Rhymes with Tsunami

Hanname is a Tsunami...of digital proportions

 

[DisneyDuo]

I must admit to being a lurker on the original Hanname post - what a riot! I read the whole thing, kept laughing out loud, till my DH had to come see what was up!

We went back and forth on the pronounciation - decided it was Ha-nah-may with the accent on the middle syllable. Can't give a logical reason why - it just felt right.
