[Opinions] Re: Phaedra
in reply to a message by zebra_cakes
I say FAY-dra. I don't like FEE-dra or FY-dra or FED-ra, which I've also heard.
I think this is a beautiful name. It just sounds lovely, like a song. It makes me think of rivers. I love the connection to Greek mythology too. I don't watch much reality tv, and the only time I've seen this name actually used is in a book called 'Froi of the Exiles' by Melina Marchetta. (It's the sequel to 'Finnikin of the Rock'. They are both sooooo good, and I think the third one's come out now yay!). I liked her character.
I like it as a middle name, I don't think I'd ever use it as a first name. Isobel Phaedra is beautiful! And that's my favourite spelling of Isobel/Isabelle/etc!
