Comments (Pronunciation Only)

It’s funny to read that this name is nice and easy to pronounce. My name is Benedetta and I have lived in London for a while. The only people who pronounce it well straight away are Spanish and Romanian only :)
For most English speakers the pronunciation is “Benadita” or “Bernadetta”. For this reason I don’t think it is actually easy to pronounce and that is why I ask people to call me by my nickname.
Important thing to mention regards the nickname. Bettina is not used much from what I know, not even in Italy. My nickname is “Bene” (pronounced with Italian, not English, “e”) but I know other women named Benedetta who like to be called “Benny”.
I hope this is useful.
Pronounced:
Ben(like the boys name) e(short e) det(with a short e) ta(with a short a)
or
Ben(like the boys name) dee(with long e) ta(short a) (this is the way my name is pronounced but if you were to travel into non US countries-Italy, where the name is still used-it would be pronounced the first way)
