Help[Opinions] Theodoric (adj.): pertaining to, or similar to Theodore
in reply to a message by Norah Namenerd
It seems like more of an adjective IMO. I adore Theodore, but with the -ic at the end it definitely makes me hard to imagine it as a name

How are you pronouncing it?
Are you pronouncing it, "thee-AH-dor-ic?" That's how I've heard it and it transforms it into a completely different name, at least in my mind.
I can see if you are pronouncing it like "Theodore + ic." That would make it sound like an adjectival form of Theodore. But with the pronunciation above, is that still your impression? Just curious.

It's supposed to be pronounced like /thee AHD uh rick/ or /thay AHD uh rik/, even though it looks like Theodore-ic. I can't think of a spelling that would get this across though. Maybe Theoddrik or something. That just looks... ODD though.

I should have read your response before submitting mine about pronunciation. Sorry.
For what it's worth, I pronounce Theodoric the way you do and I love it. Please don't change the spelling.

It sounds like an adjective.
