How do you pronounce Ciryl Gane?

[Sticko]

It's weird that he prefers his name pronounced incorrectly but that's fine I guess. It's supposed to be "Gan" like in the word "plan" but instead he says it like "gain". And yet the commentary says "gahn".

No, it's not supposed to rhyme with "plan." It's supposed to be pronounced like the word "gone."

like it sounds but in french the R is more similar to a subtle G

 

[Quinton Overeem]

I'm French :

Sea-Reel (try to pronounce the R sound by not "rounding" your lips,but as if you want to spit/floss)
Ga (the A sound is like the first sound in the world flight before the ee sound of the i)
Né (That not the french pronunciation of "ne" but an african one here) as in Nebraska

It isn't. There's a very standard way to pronounce that name, at least in American English. What I've noticed is that some people try to push a more French pronunciation of his first name, where instead of a full R sound its almost like a D. Jon Anik always does this, saying his name almost like 'Siddle'.

It's always a little weird when people try hard to avoid the anglicization of their name when they are in an English-speaking country. Anywhere you travel, people are going to say your name a little differently, they aren't trying to belittle you. When in Rome...

Anik tries too hard with names at times. He does the same thing with Moraes. He says "Mo-Dice". I can't trill my Rs very well except in certain letter sequences in words but I've noticed in general it's common for people who can't trill to make a sound that sounds like a D as a handicap for inability to trill.

No, it's not supposed to rhyme with "plan." It's supposed to be pronounced like the word "gone."

My internet source may be wrong. All I know is it's not "Gain".

Maybe but Gane is an unusual name for a French person.

Think it's related to Gagne/Gagner

Interesting that you would pronounce the NE as NÉ. But as I said it's kind of a confusing name.

Why would it.

 

[Doughie99]

I pronounce it : Win-ning.

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Why would it.

Because it's literally Gagne without the 2nd G

Why not. But it would not make sense. French colonies had a way of making foreign names sound French, not the other way around.

Not going to lie, I have no fucking clue where GANE comes from as a name but it is not a standard French name.

You got me...

So is it officially gone or gain?

I know he says he prefers gain.

 

[Jean-MMA]

Wonder what's up with orthography of the name - it seems that vowel letters have swapped compared to "standard" French?

Ciryl vs Cyrille.

Is this some characteristic of Guadeloupean French? Is there difference in pronunciation, or just in writing?

He said in interview that his parents made a mistake but they were too lazy to do the paperworks to correct it so they stick with it.
