I’ve always pronounced it Liss-ander, and I’m from florida USA. I saw on a YouTube video that they pronounced it “Luh-sander” which is pretty much how I’m pronouncing it, just a little bit more relaxed. (Like how [name_f]Emma[/name_f] is pronounced either Im-ma/ EHmma) in the US, but on “Dead poets society” everybody says “Lie-sander” like you lie down, or lie to someone. How do you pronounce it and where are you from? I really love this name, I just want to make sure I’m pronouncing it correctly! Thank you ![]()
