I've always pronounced
Sophie in my head as so-FEE, rhyming with
Marie, until today when I looked at the English pronunciation listed on the name's page and realized the stress is actually on the first syllable.
Not the first time I've been mispronouncing a name in my head though (just recently I found out that
Leon is pronounced LEE-on and not lay-AWN).
Has this happened to any of you guys too?
