Would someone please tell me the correct pronounciation for THAMES

[caitycaity]

it's definately tems. at least that's what everyone said when i lived in london.

You might both be right...If you're talking about the river in London "tems" is right. If you're up visiting the Coast Guard Academy in New London you might see the Eagle out on the "tames".
