Re: Romola

I pronounce it ROM-ə-lə (short "o" sound). Romola Garai pronounces her name that way.
The Italian pronunciation is RO-mo-lah (long "o" sound). Now that I think about it, I pronounce it both ways pretty equally.

The Italian pronunciation is roh-MOH-lah. Not a single long O sound of the type found in English. The accent is on the penultimate syllable in Italian.
