Help[Opinions] Re: Leonor(e) - pronunciation and opinion
in reply to a message by Millie
Leonor is a really common name in Spain & Portugal, that is pronounced Leh-oh-NOHR
Leonore or Eleonore is the German form, pronunciation Leh-oh-NO-reh resp. Eh-leh-oh-NO-reh
In neither of the two cases is the pronunciation Lee-oh-noor or Lay-oh-noor;
Your Lee-oh-noor, this would result --> Lieonur
Your Lay-oh-noor, this would result --> Leionur
I also like the Occitan spelling Aliénor, pronounced Ah-lee-eh-NOHR, not Alien-ohr
For an English national, recommendation for this case Lenora or Leonora
