How to pronounce "Ricciardo"

[Sir Tim]

It's spelt Rikeeardo but the 5 Live commentators said it's pronounced
Rikardo.
Anyone know?

Ricciardo pronounces his name Rikardo.

I heard him discussing why somewhere this week but don't recall the
program.

Both wrong, in theory - the chap's father (or grandfather?) is
italian, so it should really be "richardo" with two Cs, if you can
manage that. Course that's meaningless seeing as how the man himself
pronounces it differently... he does speak a rather good italian tho,
that was a pleasant surprise.

Well, in the light of his Italian ancestry, the correct pronounciation should
be like that of an Anglophone reading "Reetchardow".

Obviously enough, Italian commentators talk to him as an Italian and don't
focus on the way his name is actually pronounced in Australia. (and, I presume,
by all non-Italian speaking people).

In the early 90's, I was impressed to hear Riccardo Patrese, born in Padua,
saying "Benetton" with the stress on the first "e", as most say, including
many Italians, whereas his Venetian descent would suggest he would go "Bennetton"
with the stress on the "o". Of course, living within a certain community leads
to take on their habits.
If I were to leave in the Champ Car world, I'd probably drop the Italian pronounciation
of "Andretti" and switch to "Aendrery"...

So what is the difference in pronunciation there? (between Ricciardo
and Riccardo?)

Peter Windsor according to my mate Frank (an Italian) who watched qually

But do not get confused, please, Dan is an Aussie ;-)

It's spelt Richiardo, actually - it would need an H for a K sound. But
it's Strine, so all bets are off. :-)

Lol. Bird, you do realise that you all you do by carrying on like this
is make yourself look like somebody whose only reaction to anything he
can't understand or doesn't want to accept is to fire off insults.

Even worse, or so I'd think, but I'd bet your world view is not mine,
you get into a fight with one poster and decide to use it to attack
somebody else who has no involvement

Of course, you may just be being true to yourself. Only you would really

I was perfectly away of who I was replying to. And haven't you got any
more insults? In fact, do you have anything except insults?

It was put to me some time ago that you and Lord Charles/Timmy... you
know, the man of a thousand names were one and the same. I wasn't
convinced, but I can see why somebody might think that. You both have
the same approach - IE just call people variations on "cunt".

That's a lie isn't it as you clearly addressed your response to me. A

No. You say it's a lie, but that's just what you say.

And really, Bird. It's tedious now. For some reason you've decided to
have a go at me, but all you have is rude names and a belief (I'm giving
you the credit of it not being a pretence) that you know my motivations
better than I do myself.

Which is not a lot.

Now you want to keep on calling me names and telling me what I'm thinking,
you know what email address to use.

Take that fucking beam out of your eye. I have happily ignored you
since your sulk until you came begging for attention, just like that
little bitch tg, with your passive aggressive trolling.

Here, in this thread, picking up on a post made so many years ago it

Just stop being a thick cunt.

Let's not forget the 'i' in the middle.
'Ricci'is pronounced 'Reechee'where the 'ch' is soft as in 'church' and not hard as in 'chemical'.

Just as my family did, he has Anglicised his surname.It's easier to blend in to your new society.

According to Wiki, New York ranks third, behind Buenos Aires and
Sao Paulo.

In 2010 Sao Paulo had ~6m inhabitants of Italian origin.

In 2011 Melbourne had ~68k.

As an Italian name, it would correctly be "Reech-chardo", but as he is an Australian, and they say "Rickardo". one has to go with that. Kind of like "Cairns" being pronounced "Kahns" there. One goes with the accepted local way of saying those names.

If it were an Italian name, and Italian spelling, then it would be pronounced
Rik-ee-ar-do". When reading Italian you pronounce everything you see.

Bwaahaha, some of those don't even roll the Rs.

Should you care to know the true pronunciation,
it's Reech-Chee-Ar-doe.

Daniel has stated that he uses "Ricardo" in deference
to his father's chosen pronunciation in Australia.

[Sir Tim]

True, which underlines the point that it’s not something you can be
dogmatic about.

[larkim]

The one oddity about Dan R's surname is that Horner seemingly chooses to
pronounce it differently, which if I were one of his two star drivers I'd be
mightily annoyed by.

Unless it is some in-joke between them.

[Heron]

It's not about how I would pronounce it, it's about
what is the correct pronunciation. As one responded,
"when reading Italian you pronounce everything you
see", that is correct. Accordingly, ciao is correctly
pronounced chee-ow, but it is commonly run together
as chow in the way that interesting is commonly, but
incorrectly, pronounced as in-tres-ting.

Lets see how the non-Brits get on with pronouncing them (even some Brits

I live in Rochester NY, one of the suburbs of which is Chili -
pronounced locally (hence correctly) as CHI-lie.

The city of Cairo IL is locally (hence correctly) pronounced KAY-ro.

You don't want to know how folks in Chicago pronounce Goethe Street.

But then had it not been for the Clintons many Brits would have got
Arkansas wrong. Every language has its anomalies. It took me some some when
visiting the East coast of America to realize what was meant by boo-eee
(buoy). Interesting too how Americans tend to stress the last syllable in
proper names e.g. “Bernard” - Brits say it without stress whereas American
usually stress the last syllable.
