HelpRe: Drisy
in reply to a message by LMS
Are you in the US? I can't imagine anyone from here saying dreet-zee; S doesn't make a sound like tz. So it's kind of tough for me to imagine it pronounced that way. They'd either say Drizzy, Drissy, Dree-see, Dreezy, Dry-see, or Dry-zee (who knows which? could be any of those). Dreet-zee seems kind of artificial to me.
Looks like it's a place name in Czech Republic. Is that where you get that pronunciation? Perhaps that name site made up the Drusilla thing and it's really a place name used as a first name?
Driel
Andrea
Deirdre
etc might conceivably be nn'ed Drisy. Almost anything with a DR in it near a stressed syllable. Drusilla seems like the most natural, though.
My tendency is to say "Drizzy." I love the dr- sound so I kind of like the name, but the pronunciation is a bit too ambiguous for me right now. Also, the drizz part isn't very attractive. Similar names I like are Drusy and Drusa.

eta 'from' in first sentence =)
