Is it RosenSTEEN or RosenSTYNE?

[spiderpig]

I hear it pronounced both ways among the commentators, and until I hear Rosenstein say it himself I can't be sure.

Maybe he'll have to state it at congressional hearings.

1. Dunno, everyone pronounces it differently.

Mine is 'STEEN.'

2. This will clear up the confusion

7. LOL

This scene instantly came to my mind!

8. I thought of that one as well. It's classic. n/t

10. Best Wilder/Feldman movie ever.

I think there's another scene in My Cousin Vinny where Stanley gets upset because the court personnel keeps mispronouncing his name, and he says something like, it's SteIn; he keeps saying Steen!

15. Apparently, ALL great minds think alike; me too!!! "The name was Abby Normal..."

17. Eye-gor. n/t

[JHB]

16. I knew that would show up here...

Possibly several times.

[dchill]

3. STAIN?

[kskiska]

4. Technically, it's STYNE, like a beer stein

but personal preference is often STEEN.

5. Proper German pronunciation is 'ee' for '-ie-', 'eye' for 'ei'

Pronounce it like the name of the 2nd letter. So it should be RosenSTYNE.

6. Thank you, muriel

Back in the day, we received radio copy with phonetic spellings of proper names, so I was curious about the inconsistency among the reporters.

11. Goldstein is almost always pronounced "ee"

Even though it has an "ei".

[trof]

13. Yep, that's what I was told in Munich a few years back.

[onenote]

9. Rosen-styne

That is how it was pronounced by members on both sides of the aisle in his confirmation hearing.

12. 'fall guy'

14. Whichever way Fox News says it, it's probably the other way. (n/t)
