Hey /lit/ I figured you would be the guys to ask this to

I am going to be meeting a client in a couple hours for lunch and I am unsure if his name is supposed to be pronounced differently

His name is Maximillian spelt with two l's

Now I feel like an idiot for asking but i dont know if you are supposed to pronounce it different with two l's when there is usually one

Do i say it the same or do i put mor emphasis on it? does it sound lighter or what, i kindof have no clue

thanks for any input, flame bumping is okay too since this does seem like a really stupid question

>>	Kikéronne Tue Feb 5 16:31:16 2013 No.3438383 >>3438356 Just produce the /l/ that you're used to. I imagine it could end up realized as [lɫ], not like you know what the fuck I'm writing about though.

>>	Anonymous Tue Feb 5 16:34:16 2013 No.3438394 Just ask him how to pronounce it. I'm pretty sure you won't be the first guy who will ask him that.

>>	Anonymous Tue Feb 5 16:35:16 2013 No.3438395 >>3438380 you have a single l in that pronunciation and that probably scares OP even more

>>	Anonymous Tue Feb 5 16:35:16 2013 No.3438396 Just give him a pet name. Call him Maximillionaire.

>>	Sartre's Lazy Eye !!RLlzAVzoISl Tue Feb 5 16:36:16 2013 No.3438401 You may have to put more emphasis on the 'll's than you normally do, as if you were rolling 'r's, but I'd be surprised.

>>	Anonymous Tue Feb 5 16:41:16 2013 No.3438421 >>3438383 Yeah I really don't have any idea what you mean by that >>3438396 Can't, he is a nice guy but incredible stoic and not someone who I would be so rib pokey with right off the bat >>3438401 How would that even sound though?

>>	Sartre's Lazy Eye !!RLlzAVzoISl Tue Feb 5 16:45:17 2013 No.3438431 >>3438421 Say the name aloud, slowing down slightly over the ll's, pushing your tongue slightly harder against the roof of your mouth than normal >Mack's a million

>>	Anonymous Tue Feb 5 16:46:16 2013 No.3438437 >>3438380 well that just sounds silly, its just pronounced like regular i do not see it sounding any different unless he is german

>>	Anonymous Tue Feb 5 16:54:17 2013 No.3438479 I guess I will just go with regular pronunciation so i dont seem like a jackass Perhaps I will just ask him about it too, at least after everything is done so i dont seem stupid as fuck
