Help[Opinions] Re: Afrodesia and Ionie
in reply to a message by Manipura
I checked the Dutch/Afrikaans references, and though they are certainly proper nouns, they are not given names. Both languages would need the diacrital to establish the pronunciation, otherwise it would end in -ee instead of -eeyuh.
I've never seen Ionië used as a given name in Afrikaans.

Thanks for checking!
In the US, it's rare to see diacriticals transcribed, but certain names are often pronounced as if they're there, anyway. It does seem unlikely to be a yuh in this case, though.
