Re: Lavinia (and others)
I said it a bit lower, but that is the Greek pronunciation of Magdalene. It's the only one I've every used (excepting magda-lehn for discussing St Mary Magdalene in English). It makes a lot of sense in Greek, but I guess not in English.
Honestly, I like it pronounced any way.

Oh sorry, I didn't read all of the comments.
I'm not a native English speaker, so a lot of pronounciations of Magdalene make sense to me, but I never heard that one before. I pronounce it Magda-LAY-nuh.
