Re: Danae

I rather like DAH-nah-ee (not sure if this is the original Greek pronunciation but I think it's pretty close), but duh-NAY sounds trashy and downmarket to me, sorry.

Hmmm I think it would be quite difficult to get people to pronounce it like that, to be honest. And the Greek pronunciation is extremely different (from what I found out by googling), apparently the D sounds like a TH. But in English we hardly pronounce any Greek names correctly anyway, Phoebe sounds extremely different in Greek as well.
Oh, it'd be impossible to get people to pronounce it like that, but I like it in theory. :p
