ArchivesUndine...
I searched this board for posts regarding the pronunciation of Undine, and one came up with the original pronunciation as uhn-DEE-ne and the most common one as uhn-deen. My question is whether the latter meant UHN-deen or uhn-DEEN.

Well, if it's the same as the word it would be more common as uhn-DEEN. You can hear it on dictionary.reference.com :)

The only time I've heard this name out loud it was said uhn-DEEN.

My guess would be uhn-DEEN because of the 'e' the end. It often indicates the stress on the last syllable in both French & English. However, I don't know for sure as I only know it pronounced uwn-DEEN-ə where I live.
