HelpRe: WDYTO Saffira?
in reply to a message by Korinna
I like it, and it goes nicely with Nora and Talia.
Just curious: how would you be pronouncing it? I live in the US (northeast) and always heard the Biblical Sapphira pronounced like suh-FIE-ruh rather than suh-FEER-uh or similar. If I saw Sapphira or Saffira on someone I would think they were pronounced suh-FEER-uh. Either pronunciation is nice though.
P.S. I have a friend who named her daughter Sofija (pron. so-FIE-uh) and similarly attempted to use spelling to reflect the pronunciation. It could still be read like Sofia, but at least it looks more like its pronunciation than that would. Good luck!
