It would be like a person named David

That´s kind of funny given the way the character Coté plays on NCIS pronounces her name.

Sounds good. Roger often comes out something like Royer. I can't explain why, but it doesn't bother me a bit.

Looking briefly at other interviews with Cote de Pablo, they pronounce it Cotey as well.

Is there a clip where she says her own name? (I looked a bit and couldn't find one).

Then you say I'm putting a lot into one video?

I'd already said I'd looked at more than one, and you said you couldn't find one where she says her own name, so obviously you must have looked at more than one video with more than one persib saying her name.

You know, I don't mind a good argument, or difference of opinion, but making up an argument based on nothing is something a putz does.

I'm not going to address this anymore ebrown. Whenever you do stuff like this in a thread, you just end up looking like someone who went full retard.

oh wait, maybe you were looking for a video that had the title "cote de pablo says her own name"

I can see where the confusion might be.

Geez Chai... did I hit a raw nerve or something?

I am part of a bilingual family. Our blended cultures are something that we take pride in-- we work hard to make sure that our kids understand and respect both parts of their identity. Names and language and pronunciation are part of this (something even Justice Sotomayor understands). We don't get too uptight about this, but our friends understand and respect this.

That being said, you seem even touchier about this then I am. Maybe you lost something that your grandparents had.

I think she's ok both pronunciations seeing as how she interacts with Spanish, and non-Spanish speakers.

It would be like a person named David interacting with both Spanish and non-Spanish speakers accepting
both pronunciations of his name.

YES. That 's like when someone addresses me, by name, in Spanish,
it is: Da (like the Russian word for "YES") veed

Da veed

( Truth be told: it almost sounded as tho thay said "Da veeth" )

accent on the second syllable

I never even thawt of challenging that.

My dad weeds out telemarketers by listing his name in the phone book
using his first and middle names, but excluding his last name.
This is like having an unlisted number but allowing those who
know you to look you up. When telemarketers call for Mr. Middle,
he knows who they are.

I joined a federal list whose purpose it is to remove u from the annoyances of telemarketers.
It worked. If thay call u anyway, then thay owe u cash.

Same question. How are you going to pronounce José?

Among native speakers of Spanish it is said: "Hose"
fully pronouncing the H
with a short o.

The e in Jose is the same as in Bette MIdler flies on a jet with her pet hen

Nothing in the name Jose sounds in any way like a long a, nor any kind of a whatsoever.

They do. In Spanish "d"--where it's within a word, not at the beginning--is softened to a voiced "th" sound as in "thee".

DaVEETH

Oh yeah, you hear "Royer" a lot around here with the rolled r's. And you hear "Joe" pronounced "Yoh" a lot also.
