Help[Opinions] Re: Name pronunciation in general + Niobe
in reply to a message by noel
Hi Noel !!!
Being Italian there are so many names (especially English) that are not intuitive at all. The worst are Latin/Greek names that an English-speaker says in a different way such Irene, Aurora, Hermione, Penelope.. It is so hard to guess how these names are read by an American, Australian or British person.
Niobe Νιοβη is one of these names.
I saw It few times so It is not in my PNL.
I pronounce It nee-OH-be but I don't know if It is right in Greek.
