Pronunciation's a funny thing. I once heard an apparently true account of an English girl called Sharon Witsowski (or something). She was used to having to spell out her last name whenever she gave it over the phone, but one day she has to phone up the Polish embassy and, as usual, starts spelling her last name to the telephonist. The response? "I know how to spell Witsowski, how do you spell Sharon?"

Pretty name, how do you pronounce Morene?

Oh, and "more-een" would be the pronunciation for it. Alsace is my girlfriend's last name, too, so... yeah ^_^
