HelpRe: How do you pronounce...?
in reply to a message by Howie
I say it the same way Hamilton musical does. Before that, I said it as theo-DOH-see-ah. I think that's mostly because I write a character named Feodosia (She's Russian so....) and Feodosia is pronounced fee-oh-DOH-syah.
I hate to be that guy (I'm lying), but if you're unfamiliar with the music of Hamilton, Leslie Odom Jr sings the name at the beginning of both of these songs:
https://youtu.be/vjMN6zSVFQg < -- This one is even called Dear Theodosia.
https://youtu.be/ReTP6x_sDiM < -- And he says it twice toward the beginning of this one.
I know a lady named Sophronia. She pronounces it suh-FRO-nee-ah.
If I didn't know her, I would probably have assumed it was suh-FRAHN-nee-ah and I still like that pronunciation better honestly.
