the pronunciation of the 'i' in 'vibert'. "eye" or "ih"? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eye |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've always said v-eye-bert. but that doesn't mean i'm right. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i used to always say 'eye', just by instinct (that old rule about the 'e' changing the preceeding vowel sound to its name), but i heard him being referred to as 'vihbert' in interviews loads of times and that kinda shook my confidence. |

like "vibbert" i.e. with the "i" as "ih" or whatever. i know of a simon vibert back home who pronounces it like that |

vee - bear, in a french accent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
haha! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i would imagine it's vee bear seeing as he's french, although i pronounce it v_eye_burt being english. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
he is, is he? |

According to Messervy, a renowned historian, in a charter of king Stephen in 1136 mention is made of Benedict son of Wibert. In early times the spelling of surnames varied considerably and various forms of the surname can be found including Wibert, Wiberd, and Vibert, which had the same origin and are probably derived from the Teutonic word Wigbert which means war bright. - Luke War Bright! New alias perhaps for the man that has over 100 already? |

I always say Vy - Bert. |
||||||||
|
|

|
sounded a bit odd the first time someone said v-eye-birt. i'm used to it now. i still say v-ih-bert though. it sounds better. |
||||||||
|
|

|

i shook hands with luke vibert once. luke v-eye-bert. |

i used to say v-eye-bert, but now im gonna start saying vee-bear just to sound like an elitist twit, like pronouncing sigur ros as see-oor ros, not sigger. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now we're talking |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
vibert, like rib-burt. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

haha! the pronounciation of "vybert" sounds fitting for an electonic musician (vibe+urt). although, "veebear" does seem to make more sense logically to me now considering my illustrious knowledge and extensive background in all things having anything to do with HOCKEY; the tie in there being the fact that hockey eminated from the worlds 2nd largest french speaking city, MONTREAL, in the province of quebec... which means i know way too many french names for my own good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've always pronounced it vuh-BARE, just because I can. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he says "v eye bert" and i'm guessing he would know, god why are we having this conversation? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"sigger" and "see-oor"...bullshit either way, i'd say. i doubt someone saying see-oor is an elitist twit, just a twit. the few times i've said vibert has been "v-eye-bert", wether it's wrong or not. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is it "cassle" or "carsel"? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you say (vi) bert, I say v (eye) bert lets call the whole thing off. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This should be a sticky topic. I wouldn't suggest anyone listen to the track "Juicy Luke Vibert" where the man himself says "I'm juicy Luke V-eye-bert" because that would end this thrilling conjecture. |
