Pronunciation
editHow is "Coquet" pronounced? There's another somewhat French-looking name in Northumberland: Cambois, which is pronounced /ˈkæməs/. Old Man of Storr (talk) 19:47, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
- In Amble it tends to be pronounced Koekut. Not Coquette or Cockett.AnnaAtTheAmbler (talk) 11:00, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
- Yup. I think the pronunciation guide added 14:22, 7 July 2011 pretty much nails it and agrees with Anna above. DBaK (talk) 16:26, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- There's a difficulty. The US convention is to represent the 'oh' phoneme as /oe/: the British convention (based on the slight fifferences in actual pronunciation) is /əʊ/. When I tried to correct the IPA in the article, it still showed the US representation. Does anyone know why it does this? How can it be changed? MacAuslan (talk) 09:22, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
- The given pronunciation of /ˈkoʊkət/ seems a bit improbable – I would have expected a "normal" English pronunciation to be /kɒ'kɛt/. Come to that, for a word of French appearance why is it not /kɒ'keɪ/? Either way we do need a source for whatever the correct pronunciation is. Richard New Forest (talk) 20:11, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Coquet Island, England → Coquet Island – This gets way more views [[1]] per WP:2DABPRIMARY a hatnote would be enough, also it should be at Coquet Island, Northumberland if disambiguation is required per WP:UKPLACE.
