I posted this entry a few days ago. Here's how I would personally pronounce these names, and want to see if you guys agree...

Alethea: Uh-LEE-thee-uh

Katherina: Kath-er-EE-nuh

Eleni: El-LAY-nee

Lucia: Loo-SEE-uh

Idony: EYE-dun-nee

Helena: HEL-len-uh

Calanthe: Cuhl-LON-thee

Isolde: eece-OLD

Eece rhymes with fleece and EYE is like the word... lol.

Thoughts? Would anyone pronounce any of these completely differently?

Thank ya,
♥ Brandi

I'd pronounce Lucia Loo-chi(chee)-uh

me too, as that's usually how it is pronounced. (there is a Lucia that is in my favorite band, and at very first i thought it was pronounced Loo-See-uh, but it is correctly pronounced Loo-chee-uh.)

I've known people who pronounce that name Loo-see-uh, Loo-chee-uh, and Loo-sha.

I'd say Kath-REEN-uh for Katherina.

I prefer

Helena: Hel-LAY-na
Isolde: ee-SOLD-a

Others are pretty much the same, though.
