I have never spoken to Guy (whose posts I enjoy greatly - please keep them up, Guy) but if he is like my other French speaking friends from Montreal he pronounces his name "Gee" (hard G). Which would make him Canada Gee (not to be confused with Canada Geese). Just sayin'
Hi CSI (What ever that means.... )
Yes, you are right, it should be pronounced something like: Gee
I a;ways ask my American neighbors to pronounce my name Gee.
I've been called many times Le Quack (My French family name is : Leduc)
Le = The Quack = Duc = Duck = Quack, quack...
Get it ?
One true story.
If you take my name Leduc and separate it in two parts it becomes:
Le Duc
add some accents and it's a genuine Vietnamese name.
Family name: Lê and given name : Duc
and then you can add my middle name : Ghi in Vietnamese for Guy
and there you go, a complete genuine Vietnamese name.
That's why every times the Vietnamese see my passport,
they start talking to me in Vietnamese thinking that I am a Vietnamese.
No joke, it happens all the time.
Four times I've been taking for a Vietnamese by four different French Canadians
that did not know me and told me that I speak good French for a Vietnamese.
Again, no joke. I swear to God.
Ho yea and many times I was taken for a Chinese.
Do I look like a Chinese or Vietnamese?
I think not, but they must think otherwise.
