Bowie or Bowie?

[Melton Fox]

Very important poll this one, and not to be taken lightly.

How do you yourselves pronounce it;

David Bowie = As in Bow and Arrow

David Bowie = As in Bow Down Before Me

It's a problem that's spanned the decades, let's solve it now!!!

Bow as in Bow and arrow

Bow as in Bow Down

Bow as in Bow Down

I do admire somebody who can publicly admit to being wrong :icon_bigg

I tip my hat to you, Sir.

The reason I say it the way I do (second option) is because of how I say his son's name - Zowie.

Sounds too girly if you apply the first option principle, IMO

 

[MHS]

He has a son called Zowie? Zowie Bowie?

No, I just made it up!!! :icon_roll

I'm amazed that anybody could get this wrong, of course it's Bowie as in bow & arrow.

Surely only Americans could mangle it into Bowie as in bow down?
