Re: Athénaïs
in reply to a message by hylo
I came across Athénaïs on an historical drama based around Louis XIV and the building of Versailles, and I thought it was gorgeous. I think they said something like Att-uh-NAY-iss, which I'm not 100% sure is correct, but I like the sound, although it's probably much nicer in French than my rubbish accent haha. I do think it might be a challenge to say daily (for me anyway) or at least it'd definitely take some getting used to, but it would definitely work great as a middle. I do have Atenaid/Atenaide on my considering list, since I find it a little easier to say, but Athénaïs is very lovely.
