Interesting, I dont read claude the same way as clawd, but I'm based in Spain so I tend to read it as French or Spanish. I tend to read it as `claud-e` with an emphasis on the e at the end. I would read clawd as `claw-d` with a emphasis in the D, but yes i guess American English would pronounce them the same way.
Edit: Just realized i have been reading and calling it after Jean-Claude Van Damme all this time. Happy friday!
What do you mean an emphasis on the 'e'? As in claudé? The name Claude is pronounced with a silent 'e' in French, there is no 'e' to emphasize.
Now you're telling me I've been pronouncing it wrong in every possible case?!
Greg Eisenberg will pronounce it both ways in the same video: clawd and cload. As an American I very much use clawd for Claude.
