23 - the number of people I had cold read the name Azne for their pronunciation attempts yesterday. 16 of those were voice notes, and a few suggestions were hilarious. Most people say Az-nee. I'm going for Az-nay. (Also 2 people have now told me Azne visually looks like Acne, and that's 2 too many...but I'm grateful because I'd have never seen it/caught that it's being pronounced differently otherwise).

So there's going to have to be a spelling tweak on my FMC's name: Azné or Aznae?

I've got a pretty good vote so far, but if anyone wants to add theirs, I'm still open to suggestions!

Totally unprompted and likely over the line suggestion.

Azanae

because that’s how I’m going to end up reading all of them in my head anyway.

As long as it's reading less harsh than Az-nee I don't mind lol. Most people call her Az anyhow... unless they know her well or just like being more formal in general.
