Well how do you pronounce that ? is that her real name?
Mayte:

(mate)
(may-tay)
(may-ye)
(may-yee)


OR WHAT? :help:

to yaya: mayte is her middle name... as far as i know and i know how to say it but i'm finding it hard to post how you pronounce it... get me?

i thought michelle was her middle name... when she was booked into jail her first name was mayte and her middle name was michelle. i have no fricking clue how to pronounce it though. but i'm just going to say it like "mate" untill we get confirmation lol.

I've worked with a Spaniard called Mayte and she pronounced it My-tea.

I think it's her original first name too. That's what I've heard anyway.

This Year's Girl I love your banner. I think that Mayte is her first name and again I couldn't tell ya how to say it.

I also think Mayte is her first name however I don't know why I always tough that it was pronounced like Mate!!! Ok but now I know its like My-tea

Thank you! *grins* I can't take the credit though, a friend made it for me.

mayte (sp) is her first name michelle is her middle name rodriguez last name

Yes, indeed Mayte is her first name.

I think it's like a family thing maybe? Like I have a name before the one I 'use' if that makes sense, but it's there because it's a family thing. It happens a lot in Spanish/Latin families. Or maybe she just likes Michelle better lol.

Lexxx,
;)

Now i know how to pronounce it , ( my -they)

I read that Mayte is a different version/combo of the names Maria and Teresa. That's kinda cool....combining the names like that. :P

L.

When Michelle was booked in Kailua it was as Mayte Michelle Rodriguez. Also if you search Hawaii State Judiciary traffic records hers is also under Mayte Rodriguez whereas a search for Michelle Rodriguez comes up empty.

Sooooo...her first name is Mayte. I guess either she or Hollywood types decided to go with Michelle for whatever reason, since that's her middle name anyway.

Here's the link to the court search engine if anyone wants to check it out:

Thanks Sin for the link.

Dayyyyyyyyum. She's got quite the list there.

*snicker*

L.

I notice that too. I don't think her retiring in HA would be such a great idea..

yeah right? Thanks Sin!

Heh, good thing you can't look up my record...about 10 pages worth of stuff...

OHH OK so if it is the combo you're talking about I know how to pronounce it cuz those names in the spanish language are said exectly with the same accent in portuguese (they are VERY COMMON names here in portugal) and so it is more or less: My-teh, isn't it?

haha if her name was pronounced 'mate' shed have issues coming to australia. :lol:

:lol: i was thinking that for england, but you're right. australia would be more of a problem! haha.

so is it pronounced like mighty? or mightay?

hilarious mate!! :lol: :lol:

ll

Yeah it happens a lot in Latin families (I'm Spanish), but that's because there are a lot of Maria "whatever" you know? So they combine the two names cause if they didn't there would be a shitload of Marias lol! And also to make the name shorter.

For example:

Maria Teresa - Mayte
Maria del Carmen - Maricarmen or Mayca
Jose Miguel - Josemi
Jose Manuel - Josema
Juan Jose - Juanjo
Juan Miguel - Juanmi
Juan Ramon - Juanra

and a whole lot more!

ok so what is it?

like: mae - tee?

my - tae?

It is my-te

mighty?

Noo My-teh, say it like my (the possesive in the first person and then don't put a Y in the last part of the name just Teh not tee or tea!!!)

so mightay? :huh:

NOOO... My-teh (the E is like the E in bend it sounds like just EH and not like you say it when you say the alfabet)!!!

I just say the portuguese way to say E (Eh) but I'm quite sure it's that, correct me if I'm wrong!!!


I go to IMDB nad they say her birthname is Michelle Marie Rodriguez...I know it isn't but it is akward for them to say it!!!

Yes, you're right. The right way to say it is my-teh. Trust me, I'm spanish.

Thanks, and yeah I trust you....I'm portuguese and so the accent in saying these names is extremely similar if not equal!!!

ok, ONE last question on the pronunciation then i'm giving up 'til someone can actually say it to me. i ask too many questions, i know. is it teh as in "tear a bit of paper" but said quite quickly?

I think you just use the E sound on that word but its not quickly said, give it the same lasting as the "My" part of the name ... I am telling it to myself and it sounds right!!

it's "teh" like the vowel in "said"

So you're portuguese huh? Actually, I'd love to learn portuguese someday, I think it's cool. And Portugal is next to Spain!

yeah, that's how i say tear when i say it quickly... must be my accent...


i think i get the idea now, thanks guys!! :)

Yup...Portuguese is a quite diffucult language I sometimes have troubles myself.... the verb conjugation and so... my portuguese teacher says: everything that is hard in language grammar...we have it !!! But it is a really cool language...I do hope to improve my spanish...

Oh and Kayleigh you are welcome...
Question your name is pronounced "lee" in the end of the "Kay", right?

it is indeed :)

^^ Err I think Ima just call her Michelle ..

LOL...you do that girl!!!!

Yep, I know. The verb conjugations are difficult in all languages that come from Latin. I even have troubles sometimes with Spanish verbs (and I'm Spanish LMAO!)
