Dardar


We had a mexican apply for a job at my work and on the application, he put his name was Antoine Dardar. He only spoke spanish. Someone asked him where was the tombstone that he stole that name from?

How do you guys pronounce this surname.



You're definitely outside the WWL listening area, mon frere. Otherwise you'd hear it every cinq minutes.

The name is probably spanish. There are shite ton of people whose ancestors came from spain in Iberia, St. Martin, and Plaquemines parish

A bunch of names is this thread aren't cajun - they're either spanish, german, of French - but of people who came straight from France, and never settled in Nova Scotia

Is it? Pretty sure it came from Avoyelles Parish from families that came directly from France

Well I’ll say this… the Michot’s have made some great Cajun music. You’re probably right though.

Champagne (sham-pon)


Does the pronunciation differ in certain regions? My wife's aunt is a Champagne and they pronounce it (Sham-Pine)
