Help[Opinions] Re: Let's talk about Thisbe
in reply to a message by Ninabella-Elisavette Covington
I like Thisbe a lot, except for association... Then again, people give their kids names like Romeo or Guinevere, and those stories don't have very happy endings either.
In my head, I pronounce it TIZ-bee (I know, it's not accurate Greek or English, but I first read the name as a kid [in a Shakespeare storybook, Midsummer Night's Dream] and that's how I thought it was pronounced, and I like that better than either of the actual pronunciations - though I like them, too.)
