Dagmar
I met an elderly lady today named Dagmar. What do you think of her name?
How do you presume her name is pronounced?
She pronounced her name: DAHG-mahr

I love Dagmar. It's so glamorous and glossy in a serious, self-contained way. I like that "mar" part a lot, there's something dark about it.
I'd say it exactly the way it's written - DAG-marr.

It's a very sexy name. I think I prefer Dagmara, though.
Dagmar has been on my "Like a lot" list for many years. Previously, I've only liked the Czech pronunciation Dag-mar, but I like that pronunciation, too.
I don't like it
I like it for a character. I say “dag-mar”, “dag” rhymes with “rag”.
