How to pronounce Michonne...

[Thorn]

I have heard it pronounced SO many ways it was frustrating me, and had a debate at the office today. For those of you who do not read the trades it is just a character in the comics... no big deal.

Michonne

Pronounced: me shon



I asked a French translator here at the office, and that coincides with what I found online so I think it is accurate.

Me-so-horny.

I think the funny pronunciations are some of the best things I have read in these forums, I might be tired from lack of sleep though... ;)

For years I thought it was pronounced Ma-kone-ay, but then Chris Hardwick pronounced it like you did above on an episode of talking dead and I figured they researched it to make sure. Plus it sounds better that way.
Definitely a difficult name when you read it in print. Like Linux, named after a dude named Linus(Line-us), but the right way to say it is Lin-ux.

The chonne part is probably similiar to Chone Figgins who plays for the Mariners and pronounces his first name Shawn.

Settled!
