[Opinions] Re: Dante
in reply to a message by noisynora
It’s nope nope nope nope for a girl, I don’t see what’s feminine about it, the long -ee ending in English? And it’s a bit over the top for a boy as well, though it could work as a middle name. It’s not really used anymore in Italy, I guess it would be a bit like naming a child Shakespeare.

As a native English speaker, I can tell you that I have never, ever, heard Dante pronounced dahn-tee. It has always been dahn-tay.
