How do you pronounce the name Crowell? I think I lived in that quad. Yep, still do. Thank ye
ANSWER PERSON RESPONDS: When you hurt yourself, you say Ow!
A female pig is a sow.
It’s usually rhymed with those words, and that’s how I pronounce it.
In the South, this surname is often pronouced like “crawl,” but Mr. Crowell was a Yale graduate from the North and so probably pronounced his name as I mentioned above. He died in 1931, so we can’t be sure. Please see the biographical sketch at the University Archives website: http://www.lib.duke.edu/archives/history/presidents.htm#Crowell
Nope. In the North it is pronounced “Croh-el”, not like OW, but like OH!
OK, thanks. That must be how Mr. Crowell pronounced it. Perhaps it’s in the Midwest and West that it’s pronounced like Owl and in the South as Crawl.
