Hi everyone, my name is Fannie Axelsson. I just go by Fannie but please use the Swedish pronunciation. I asked chatgpt to break it down;
The Swedish name “Fannie” is pronounced like “FAH-nee.” Here’s a breakdown of the pronunciation:
- Start with the first syllable: “FAH.”
- The “F” is pronounced like the English “f” sound.
- The “A” is pronounced as the short “a” sound, similar to the “a” in “cat” or “bat.”
- The “H” is silent, so it doesn’t affect the pronunciation of the vowel “A.”
- Move on to the second syllable: “nee.”
- The “N” is pronounced like the English “n” sound.
- The “EE” is pronounced like the long “e” sound, similar to the “ee” in “bee.”
So, when you put it all together, it sounds like “FAH-nee.”
This is not fact-checked by me!
