[name_m]How[/name_m] do you pronounce it / prefer it to be said?

2

I pronounce it “[name_u]Fee[/name_u]-druh”

I really like this name, it has a flowery essence but has a rough edge to it at the same time, in my opinion.

3

I really like it, I say it as [name_f]Fay[/name_f]-druh. I love the ‘fay’ sound/nickname, and the meaning.

4

[name_f]Fay[/name_f]-druh :slight_smile:

I like it!

5

I say it as [name_f]Fay[/name_f]-drah. I don’t mind the name, but I do prefer [name_f]Faye[/name_f], as it’s just a bit more in my style range :slight_smile:

6

I really like [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f]! I would pronounce it [name_f]FAY[/name_f]-dra (not sure what the “correct” pronunciation would be). The Kushiel’s [name_m]Dart[/name_m] series of fantasy books has a heroine named Phèdre (the [name_m]French[/name_m] form of [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f]).

7

I know a woman named [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f]! It’s a unique name, even in Greece.
I’d say fay-drah, though the original pronunciation is feh-drah. I think the English one sounds prettier! It’s a nice name and I like the spunky nickname [name_f]Fay[/name_f] for it.

8

I knew a [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f] growing up and she pronounced her name “[name_f]Fay[/name_f]-dra”. I think it’s a beautiful name!

I love [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f]! Its beautiful and has a bit of edge to it.
I say “[name_f]Fae[/name_f]-druh”

FEH-druh. Iam neutral with the name.

13

[name_f]Fay[/name_f]-druh. I like it, it’s really sweet!

I think [name_f]Peaches[/name_f] Geldoff had a son named [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f], but personally I think the [name_f]Fay[/name_f] sound at the start makes it more feminine.

14

I quite like it! I say “[name_f]Fay[/name_f]-dra”. I think it sounds like a gorgeous twist on [name_f]Fay[/name_f], and reminds me of [name_f]Petra[/name_f], which I also love.
