/ˈkɔːr(l)ənd ˈsʌtn/ in US; /ˈkɔːt.lænd ˈsʌtən/ in UK; /ˈkɔːt.lænd ˈsʌtən/ in Australian English. Stress on COURT-land first name and SUT-ton in the surname. Start with a clear 'kor' glide, then 'tland' with a light, almost syllable-timed ending, and finish with 'Sutton' with a strong 'SUT' and a light 'ton'.
Mistakes include flattening the Courtland diphthong into a pure 'aw' or 'o' sound (e.g., 'kort-land' with incorrect vowel) and slurring the final 'ton' in Sutton. Correct by using /ɔːr/ in Courtland and a clear /ˈsʌtn/ with a schwa-less final consonant. Ensure the 'land' ends with a crisp 'd' and avoid adding an extra syllable to Sutton.
US: rhotic /r/ in 'Courtland' and a strong /t/ followed by a clear /l/; Sutton ends with a clear /n/. UK/AU: non-rhotic tendencies may soften post-vocalic /r/; Sutton pronounced with a more open vowel in /ˈsʌtən/. AU tends to a slightly broader vowel; keep final 'ton' as /tən/.
Two main challenges: the 'Courtland' diphthong and the 'land' cluster may blur in rapid speech, and the final 'ton' in 'Sutton' can be mispronounced as 'ton' with a hard 't' rather than the /tn/ sequence. Practice with clear tongue contact: 'cour' as /kɔːr/ and 'land' with a light 'd' release; 'Sutton' as /ˈsʌtn/.
It combines a two-syllable given name ending with 'land' and a one-syllable surname starting with 'Sut-'. The main learning point is keeping the 'land' boundary intact and producing a crisp 't' before the 'n' in Sutton. Emphasize the two-word boundary and avoid blending Courtland and Sutton into a single syllable.
