Re: Demeter, Demetria or Demetra?
I have the same issue but love the name Demeter. I love the DEH-mih-turr pronunciation and think it is the prettiest, but I don't think it is right. It is the same with Damaris. I love the da-MEHR-iss pronunciation, but it is not correct either. Pish posh, though.

well on the plus side, if a bunch of people who actually worship Demeter say it the way you like, at least you've got some back-up if someone calls you out on it!And I did not realize that that pronunciation of Damaris was not correct until you mentioned it. Oh man! I like our incorrect version better too.
