pronunciation: 'Devon' and 'Seatle'

[Nessie]

Hi,
How can we pronouce 'Devon' and 'Seatle'?
By the way, do you know any dictionary which provide the pronunciation of proper nouns (except howjsay.com)?

Many thanks,
Nessie.

Hi Nessie

There is probably no dictionary that contains the pronunciation of every possible proper name, but the American Heritage Dictionary has the pronunciation of both Devon and Seattle, including audio.

Another thing to keep in mind is that there is a river in England called "Thames", for example, and it is pronounced as if it were spelled "tems". However, there is also a Thames River near where I live, and it rhymes with James. :lol:

Many of the dictionaries you can find at onelook.com contain audio for the pronunciation of proper names. You can also often find audio recordings of names at Wikipedia.
