[Opinions] Re: Eufemia or Sebastiana
in reply to a message by Moony2
Eufemia is pronounced like ew-FEH-mya. The "ew" part is unattractive to me. It doesn't help that "ew" means "that's gross" in English.
The pronunciation for Sebastiana is not on here, but it might be seh-BAHS-Tya-na which I think is very attractive, in the same vein as Tatiana.

That's weird, I would not pronounce it like 'ew', I'd say 'eh-oo'. Like my mother's birth name, Eustolia.
Eustolia is much prettier. Eh-ooh is also an improvement.
