Marylebone?

[Ouisch]

How is it pronounced?

[lady_p_gold]

Well there are two schools of thought.  People often pronounce it MARIE LEBONE and I would say that is the more used way.  However when I was a child I was taught that the proper way to pronouce is was MAR LEBONE and I still say that and you will still hear people in London who say it like that.

I agree I pronounce it mar lebone.

[qtaran111]

Definitely, most Londoners say mar lebone

Mar-le-bone is what the locals call it. Don't pronounce the "bone" like it's something you give to a dog. It should sound more like Mar-le-bn.

Thanks for the responses.  I was, in fact, saying something along the lines of MAR-lee-bone, pronouncing the last syllable like the treat you give a dog.  I won't make that mistake again!  :)

Its pronounced "Mar le bon".

[maggie01]

Well I originate from London and I always pronounced it as lady_p_gold says Mari Lebone

[flashpig]

I have an aunt who pronounces it mari-la-bon. Although most people I know pronounce it marley-bone. Bone like the thing you give to a dog.

I know that probably neither of these answers are the correct one, but I just thought I'd add them to beef up your collection of incorrect pronunciations.

Oh dear....talk about the "definitive" answer...!  LOL

[lady_p_gold]

Glad that's all cleared up then !

Everybody in the universe pronounces it as "Marry-le-bone", and nobody ever says "Mar-le-bn".
