HelpI've never heard anyone say deer-dree. (m)
in reply to a message by Elinor
Granted, I've only known two, and both were deer-dra. Not certain on their spellings though. I do prefer Deirdre to Deirdra by far. Deirdra just seems kind of dumbed down to me, and I really don't think deer-dree makes sense from the original spelling anyway.
I've loved this name since meeting one who was about 4 years old. It was at a Ren Fest and she was all dressed up in a little garb gown, red velvet, with an embroidered cap thing on. Long, long brown hair. She looked up at me and said in such an adult manner, "Hi, my name is Deirdre." It was just so charming.

The truth is, I have met the right person, only he's not in love with me, and until I stop loving him no-one else stands a chance

I think it's more of a British thing, thanks to Coronation Street :-(
So I only hear DEER-dree here, but I do hear DEER-dra in American contexts. Thank you for the feedback!

Hmmm, interesting. Seems like it's usually us Americans with the weird pronunciation problems. But nope, over here I think deer-dra would be the norm.
