Dumb question: How do you pronounce Wendy's last name?

Is it "Mel-vinn", "Mel-VOYN", "Mel-vwohn" (as the French would say)???

Anyone know?

Also curious as to what her ethnic background is. The name looks French.

I really thought I was asking a simple an innocent question (ok make that 2 questions).

So is it Mel-VOYN??? (rhyming with BOY + N)?

as far as the second question goes, I'm not an "extremely geeked out" fan, but I've always thought she was either french or irish, don't know why, but I always have.
she might be mixed (not one specific thing) shrug

I've always thought it was Mel-voin.

On that note, my dumb question... What about Monte Moir? Is it pronounced Moore, Moyer or some other way? smile

Yeah but how do you pronouce the "VOIN" part???

  • Voyn (to rhyme with "coin")

  • Vwahn (kinda French sounding, to rhyme with "gone", at least how we say it in NY! lol)

    or

  • Vinnn (to rhyme with Linn (like Linn Drum))
