[Opinions] Re: Maira
in reply to a message by Siri
How is it pronounced? My first instinct was MYE-ra, then I thought MAY-ra or MEH-ra. Maira Nephele does seem sweet ... I really like Nephele :-)_____________________________________________________________________Elinor"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."

I don't know how Siri is pronouncing it, but in Latin America and among Hispanics in the USA, Maira is frequently found as a "Hispanicized" spelling of Myra, and so is pronounced the same as that name, with the first syllable as the word "my".
