    It's Dan-yell. I know Danielles from England and Ireland and this is how they would pronounce it. I'm always right so you may as well just close the thread :)

    Dan-yel. Adding a third syllable just makes the name sound odd.

    However they pronounce it themselves. I would tend toward opt one if I were reading it though.

    Yes. It's pronounced dan-yell. Anyone who pronounces otherwise is either a fool, a mountebank or both.

    Only in England!

    The pronunciation of Ralph as 'Rafe', as in Ralph/Rafe Fiennes, is the gold-standard for dick-headish pronouciation of a name.
    Admittedly, though, it does sound much better with his surname and he's a damn good actor. So, fair play to him.

    It seems to be an old world thing. Ralph Vaughan-Williams (1872-1958) always pronounced his name "rafe" (he was English).

    Good point. Still though, old-world and English or not, wherever and whenever a name is being pronounced in a dick-headish manner, i'll be there with a tepid, mealy-mouthed refutation of it.

    So does Ralph Fiennes - it's pronounced Rafe Fiennes (but you always see interviewers, particularly Americans pronouncing it wrong) and he's not that old.

    Black jack.
    Dope dick.
    Pawn shop.
    Quick pick.

    Kiss that dyke, I know you want to hold one.
    Not on strike, but I'm about to bowl one.
    Bite that mike, I know you never stole one.
    Girls that like a story so I told one.

    Song bird.
    Main line.
    Cash back.
    Hard top.

    Standing in line to see the show tonight,
    And there's a light on,
    Heavy glow.
    By the way I tried to say I'd be there,
    Waiting for.
    Dani the girl is singing songs to me,
    Beneath the marquee... of her soul.

    By the way I tried to say I'd be there,
    Waiting for.
