[Opinions] Re: Medora
in reply to a message by Anneza
Isn't it pronounced Med- and not Meed-?
If it's a contraction of Metrodora or an elaboration of Medea (two possible derivations that have been offered), it would not be Mee-dora. I think Medora would be a weird pronunciation, like pronouncing Melanie "Mee-lanie" or Melissa "Mee-lissa."
