Re: Endymion
in reply to a message by Rosebeth
I majored in Greek in college and endorse saphirdufeu's explanation! I love this name and am thrilled that you've chosen it for one of your babies! What are you considering for the other boy?

Thank you. Our twin boys actually surprised us by being born early at 32 weeks + 2 days, so they're already here and named ;-) We'd wondered about how people would pronounce Endymion and I always thought most of them would go with our pronunciation spontaneously, but I'm correcting people more often than I'd imagined.
Anyway, their names are Leonid Pythagoras and Endymion Zakynthos.

Congratulations! Beautiful names.
I don't know the greek pronunciation but i would pronounce it end-de-me-awn with the first sound short and fast to account for the roll-out of syllables (I think that's the word I want) that seem to come out in quick succession when i try to say the name out loud.
