Not a silly question at all. I've heard it all 3 different ways, and there's probably a 4th way I'm missing. I used to pronounce it Co-shin, but in the past couple of years, I switched to Co-chin. And I'm still not sure I have it right!

You think Cochin is bad............try having d'Uccle. I don't think there is a single breeder that can agree with another on how to pronounce that one.

True! We've got alot of Dee Uncles and Fave-a-rollees here!

If I had to guess, I would say "Dooch-luh" or "Dooch-lay" based on a few years of French classes in school.

I think you're pretty close at least. I've been calling them "dew clay" for a couple of years now, however I think it's closer to yours. Here's another translator/pronunciation tool - http://translate.google.com/#fi|en|d'Uccle. I couldn't find d'Uccle in the other dictionary/translator.

Since the poppies were blooming so beautifully, I put Coaly in front for some striking pics. She's so cooperative--

I may be off though, since the cc isn't followed by a vowel (like cappuccino). It may be Deuce-luh/lay. I was trying to read this, but I couldn't follow all of it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_and_soft_C

Great pics, Shy! She's beautiful! I didn't realize you had any blacks . . . did you get her from Beany? She reminds me of his blacks.

 

[ShysCreations]

Yep, she's from Beany. She's one of the most easy going cochins, even for a cochin!!! She'll be a step in improving my mottleds

Uccle is a city in Belgium (I was born in Belgium), so D'Uccle is pronounced dee-ook-lee.
