Hi Don,I assume the name Baudin is of French origin and would pronounce it (after my rudimentary French lessons at school 40 years ago) bow (as in bow-wow, or how) -dins. Using the same logic I might even pronounce the "dins" as 'dan'. Therefore it might be 'bowdans' Cheers Elizabeth Shaw Phillip Island Victoria |
