    Haha that's funny. I often do the opposite and pronounce English names with a French accent because I learned French before English (unless tbe first time I heard the name was in English).

    Blanchie sounds cute though

    Yeah right, AHAHAHAHAH it's nice how people actually read the same words differently.

    Not sure about the "awn" but yes it ends with "ch" sound. I say not sure about the "awn" because I'm not sure how you as a person pronounce that... I'm sitting here pronouncing words like "lawn" and comparing it to "blanche" haha

    Maybe they refer like the sound of the number 1 in french "un". If not, then idk, my mother language is not even english, is spanish hahaha.

    Well I've heard seen that name spoken like that. Plus French syllables and such are like that

    I can't argue with you there. French comes naturally to me (French spoken by Quebecois is a bit trickier, though) but I can't put it phonetically. Personally the first time I heard this was when I was reading Blanche neige as a child. Good old times.
