The spelling of the word "Glenne" is rather uncommon and may lead to confusion in pronunciation. The word is pronounced /ɡlɛn/ with a silent "e" at the end. The "G" is pronounced with a hard "g" sound as in "goat", and the "l" is a clear "l" as in "lily". The "e" at the end is not pronounced and serves only to indicate that the preceding vowel should be pronounced as a short vowel sound rather than a long one. Despite its unusual spelling, "Glenne" is a legitimate name that has been used for both boys and girls.
