HelpRe: Names you have pronounced incorrectly
in reply to a message by Caprice
I remember not pronouncing Siobhan and Niamh right in my head.
There are a few Greek names:
Iphigenia --I knew how to say this in Greek before I knew the accepted English pronunciation.
Calliope/Kalliope --Ditto to this one
Panagiota / Panagiotis --I went to school with a Panagiota, but I didn't really know her and only saw her name in the yearbook. I pronounced it as pahn-ah-gee-OH-tah in my head until I learned how to pronounce Greek a bit better.
