How do you pronounce "Goudie"?

Who’s Mrs Goudie in it? I must be forgetting someone. In any case, I think I would say Mrs. Goo-dee but Mrs Proudie is Prowd-ee.

LOL.

I am crimson.

@Hawaii_Jake I was wondering. That’s what you get for reading on the bus – on your smart phone??.

It’s the bus! Yes, we’ll settle on that one.

I was here for months before I learned to pronounce Fluther. I still say floother in my head.

I learned about Alexander Goudie in art school and it was pronounced gow-dee (like howdy).

“Gowdie”

If she is French, it could be read as “Guddi” with stress in i.

@Sneki95 I think in French the “ou” would be “oo”.

@janbb I assume you read u as uh. I forgot about that, I read it as oo. Phonetic reading heh.

What I meant is what you addressed, the u being read as short oo.

Btw, address is one of the words whose pronunciation is a mystery to me. Is it with a stress in the first syllable or the second? I’m never sure…

@Sneki95 Either way is acceptable pronunciation but I tend to accent the first syllable.

@janbb Oh, ok, thank you.

I put the emphasis on the first syllable when address is used as a noun and on the second syllable when it is used as a verb.

I would also rhyme it with howdy.

I’d read it Gow-dee.

I would’ve pronounced it “goo dee”... but evidently, I would be wrong:

Or, I might be right: 3/5 of the examples here: http://www.pronouncekiwi.com/Goudie%20(surname) say “goo dee”.

Here’s a variant on the question:

How do you pronounce the architect Gaudi’s name? I have always thought of it as Gow-dee; is that correct? He was Spanish.

^Exactly how it’s written: ga-oo- dee. Only a bit faster and with stress on i.
