Growing up, everyone i knew pronounced it - Doe LENZ, - to rhyme with - So Pens - with emphasis on - Lenz.

but actually it's pronounced - DOE l'nz - to rhyme with - Stolens or Stow L'nz - emphasis on - DO.

even though i know how its really pronounced i still think of it as i did growing up.

I've no idea where we got that pronunciation from - we all watched the shows & they say it numerous times.

unless its a english thing? is that just the way english people say it?

so how have you always pronounced Dolenz?

So pens or Stolenz ?

thanks :D

I always pronounced it the same as you.

Too late to change now.
I always pounced it with the emphasis on the first syllable. But that's possibly because I'm Irish.
*pronounced
Years since I heard anyone Tork about him.
Is he still with us?
I seem to recall hearing his name at the start of "Elephant Boy", so have always though of him as "Dolens"
He's 77. The only one still alive.
^Bit sad. Reminder of my own mortality.
I always thought it was dole ents.
I always pronounced it Doll enz?

I thought he was already in Davy Jones's locker.
Emphasis on the DOE, opposite to you Joko.
same as Vagus
Only some words
Edith Cavell - used to say - cavell rhymes with travel
so clearly they were getting it wrong then

Geoffrey Flavell - sort of Sqad used to have to look up to him (in the Good Old Days) - was not flayvell, but fluh-vell
bit early for normal names with crazy spellings

eriq LaSalle - on ER also McKay Feiffer - oops Mekhi Phifer

luns or lens, pfft, Had the family wanted it pronounce luns they'd have spelt it with a u not an e.

Not that, that always helps. I have a surname that by english language rules should be easy to pronounce correctly at first glance, but 99.9% of folk seem to prefer not to follow those rules and opt to mispronounce it. Folk are weird.

Reminds me of when Philomena Lynott's (Phil's mother) name was mispronounced by an interviewer. "It's Lynott, not Linnet. We're not little birds."
He should have written a song about it like Minelli.
It's Liza with a "Z" not Lisa with an "S" cause Lisa with an "S" goes snoz Its Z instead of S, Li instead of Lee it's simple as could be see Liza!
O god Geezer

ter dddah - I only write this to enrage the mods

But it isnt only names !

But the man said that Freeman was Samuel L. Jackson, who was also recently mistaken for Laurence Fishburne by an L.A. news anchor.

By Jove, I knew you were Cholmondeley Featherstonehaugh, OG.
