Pronunciation

We have had lots of inquiries since Vera was born about how to pronounce her name. Also, our last name can be difficult since it isn't spelled like it's pronounced. Here's a breakdown of our family's names and how we pronounce them. Hopefully this helps!

Vera is pronounced VEER-ah (not VAIR-ah).
Charlotte is pronounced SHAR-let (not SHAR-lot).
Elise is pronounced eh-LEASE (not ee-LEASE).
Blair rhymes with Claire (one syllable like Claire, but has no E at the end).
I think most people have no problems with the name Matt.

And our last name is Asay, which is pronounced like the letters A and C (rhymes with Casey). It isn't uh-SAY or assay (which means "the testing of a metal or ore to determine its ingredients and quality").

Don't worry if this confuses you more than helps. Just say our names however you want, and we will happily answer. :)

And because you probably just came looking for pictures of Vera . . .
