Carrie or Kerry?

[fnqfun]

I've just finished watching the entire series and am confused by the pronunciation of Carries name. Very often I hear it pronounced as Kerry often several times in an episode. What is the correct pronunciation?

[Wawwie]

Her name is CARRIE....... sounds like the word "carry."

Depending on one's accent or way or speaking, though, it may be pronounced where it sounds like Kerry or Care-ee. I'm with the "Carry" group, though.

Thanks for clarifying. I have just watched all episodes again and clearly hear KERRY except from Doug who says CARRIE. I guess it's just the American accent. I'm Australian.

I don't even understand the question. I pronounce both Carrie and Kerry the same way and basically think of them as the same name with an alternative spelling. I had no idea there was supposedly a different pronunciation for each name. But then there isn't in my book, oh well. Interesting I guess. I say them both like "carry" if that helps. I just think of the verb and the names as homonyms to each other.

That's not true. Richie clearly says Carrie like "carry" and so does Arthur.
