  • Monette on CBS Sunday AM, and also how do you pronouce Monette?

    And yes, technically it is a softer “o” like mohn-nay rather than the anglicized/Americanized Moan-nay, but I’ll forgive the first syllable in light of the hack job given the second syllable.

    Ha I love that it’s actually someone’s pet peeve!

    My last name is Monette and NO ONE can pronounce it in America. My sister in law’s name was Suzette Monette and still they get it wrong.
    Typical convo
    They: <some ridiculous iteration of my name>
    Me: it’s Monette, moan-net, like cigarette, cassette, pirouette, corvette, Suzette, etc.
    They: oh I thought it was French
    Me: it is
    They: oh then it’s Mo-nay.
    Me: thanks - I’ve only had this name for 50 years now.
