Help[Opinions] Re: Demeter, Demetria or Demetra?
in reply to a message by guru
Hm, I had forgotten about Demetra. I like it about the same as Demetria - I like its 3-syllable-ness (instead of 4). And it doesn't share the drawback (the one drawback) of Demetria, which is that it sounds vaguely like a medical term. People would probably misread Demetra as Demetria sometimes. I think Demitra is fine too; or even Dimitra is intuitive, because of the name Dimitri.
I'm so used to seeing Demetria, though, that I think I'd feel safest with that. And, since I'm not all that comfy with four syllable personal names, and I'm not all that inhibited from certain kinds of name-sinning, I'd probably call her some much shorter nickname like Deitra, Mita, or Dima.
I think Demeter seems cool, but I'd have to cross it off my personal list since I don't even know how to pronounce it properly.
