      Im from Holland, and in Dutch you say Flo(w)-ris.

      My lats name is Van den Berg, which means From the Mountain, which is funny, cause we don’t have any mountains in Holland.

      I’m British/Swiss, Jenn is pronounced as in Jennifer, Wadsworth sounds like you’re asking ‘What’s it worth?’ ^_^

      Hi Lottz,

      I am originally French, but have lived in the UK for quite a long time now.
      My first name “Elie” is pronounced as you would “Ellie”, but in France it is male name…very confusing in the UK when people only know my name, thinking I am a woman…and are in for a shock when I pickup the phone 🙂

      Allouis would sound like “aloo-iss”

      Ivano: Hi Lottz. I’m Italian, and my name is pronounced i:vÊŒnoÊŠ.
      Every time a go to a Starbuck’s in US or UK, I got “Eevano” on the cup, so I guess that’s the closest pronunciation in English 😉
