Idris always intrigued me. But I've never heard it spoken so I've never known. I've been thinking of it as "ID-riss," but "EE-driss" makes a lot of sense now that I know.

I had a friend/ boyfriend with this name. He pronounced it ID-ris, as did his parents. He was half Lebanese half Pakistani.

Am I the only one..... that pronounces it EYE-dris? I'm more than likely wrong on that, but I like it best that way haha.

I like 'ID-riss', but it's probably more like 'EE-drees'.
People would undoubtedly say 'ID-riss' in the US or UK.
