Would somebody (preferable someone who lives there) give a pronunciation guide for Marylebone please? I just googled and got a variety of opinions: Mar-le-bone, Mahr-leh-bahn, Mar-lee-bone, Marrybun, maribun, Marley-bone.... I'm more confused than ever. ;) Fabiform 18:59, 21 Jan 2004 (UTC)
'Marry-lubun (stress on first syllable). Secretlondon 19:01, Jan 21, 2004 (UTC)
Like MARRY-lubun (rhymes with Larry), MAR-ee-lubun (rhymes with Larry)? Perhaps you could write it in SAMPA? Fabiform 21:12, 21 Jan 2004 (UTC)
I'd use ["m{r\lU%b@n] (SAMPA), [ˈmęɹlʊˌbən] (IPA) with the r-sound almost silent but lengthening the preceding vowel. (Although I do live south of the river, so...)
London borough
The term in the article the Marylebone is a London borough is confusing. It is not one of the 33 electoral London Boroughs (is it in Camden?)
- The Metropolitan Borough of St Marylebone existed until 1965 in the county of London. It is now in the City of Westminster--Henrygb 22:43, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Lords
The St John's Wood article also lays claim to Lord's Cricket Ground; surely it isn't in both areas? Grant65 (Talk) 14:52, Feb 27, 2005 (UTC)
