Re: Name pronunciation in general + Niobe
One of my late sister-in-laws (French speaker) was a keen follower of the royal family, and used to refer to"Lady Dee".

When I see Lady Di in writing I’m also inclined to read it as “Lady Dee” in my head, the English pronunciation sounds like “Lady Die”. Most Italians are going to call her “Lady Deanna”, though a lot of the names are Italianized, so people will say “Regina Elisabetta” for instance. Though the younger princes tend to keep their English names for some reason.
