How do you pronounce Lysander and where are you from?

LIE-sander. [name_u]East[/name_u] Coast US, it’s the way we were taught to say it when we did Midsummer [name_u]Night[/name_u]’s [name_u]Dream[/name_u] in school.

Ooh, [name_m]Lysander[/name_m]'s one of my favourites! I’m from [name_f]England[/name_f], and I say Lie-SZAN-der. It sort of starts off as an S and goes into the Z (if that makes sense).

[name_u]Or[/name_u] a recording might be easier haha.

Oooo I just read A Midsummer [name_u]Night[/name_u]'s [name_u]Dream[/name_u] so I’m in love with this name right now!
I’m from the midwest US and I pronounce it Lie-sander. If it means anything, I have listened to a recording of the play and watched a movie version of it, and in both the characters said Lie-sander.
