So I guess you have an issue with our football coach and his 'wrong' pronunciation as well.

Jorge Muneauxz ?

ps I'm with Cajun Monkee

A Trahan leaves and instantly becomes a TrayHan.

A TrayHan moves in and stays a TrayHan

Ain't right.

I just know about Trahan.

Which coach are you saying pronounces his name incorrectly?

De-ZOR-mo pronounces it DEZ-or-mo

[CajunVic]

De-ZOR-mo pronounces it DEZ-or-mo

But how does he say trawwww-hawwwnnn

[Turbine]

De-ZOR-mo pronounces it DEZ-or-mo

It's a Yankee influence corrective relic of Cajun society.

I had a very good friend (deceased) who pronounced his name DehZERmo

However a person pronounces their own name is correct.

[Turbine]

The w is misleading and the 'n' is silent.

Similar to Trauhhaů

[Cajun Monkee]

But how does he say trawwww-hawwwnnn

-hawwww

No en.

[CajunVic]

-hawwww

No en.

Sorry, but in upper Vermilion Parish, it finished with a slight n

Yes it is a slight to pronounce the n

[ZoomZoom]

Man, started a 15 minute project this AM, and heck, I missed a lot.

Congratulations ladies!

All this name stuff, get back on track.

Only one name matters today. Winner!

[VObserver]

Yes it is a slight to pronounce the n

There is a very soft 'n' at the end. There is certainly no emphasis on the 'n', so it is easily missed, but nearly every Trahan I know uses the soft 'n' at the end.

[Turbine]

It can't be called, an "n" sound, everyone I know ends the pronunciation of Trahan with open air... not with their tongue tapping their pallet.

[CajunVic]

Same here.

[Turbine]

Same here.

Modern Yankee influence.
