I've liked this name - particularly this spelling - for a while now. However, I've been pronouncing
Berenice the same way I would
Bernice: bər-NEES. However, when I checked the name on this site, the English pronunciation the gave was ber-ə-NIE-see, which I've never heard before. I vastly prefer bər-NEES.
Am I the only one who has been unaware of this "actual" pronunciation? If I were to use the name
Berenice on, say, my daughter, would she constantly get it mispronounced? Does anyone prefer the ber-ə-NIE-see pronunciation over bər-NEES?
