Subject: Pronunciation of Leonora (this is especially directed towards Chrisell, though all help is welcome)

I always assumed it was pronounced lee-oh-NOR-ah, but Chrisell said she had an aunt who was Leo pr. LAY-oh, and I believe she said her aunt's fn was Leonora pr. lay-oh-NOR-ah. I really like Leo. Is it possible that Léonora with the accent is said lay-oh-NOR-ah? Or it it like the Hellen-ah/hel-LAY-na/hel-LEE-nah debate where the same name is pr. several ways? Or did I remember it wrong and pull Leo pr. LAY-oh out of no where? *sigh* Confusion. Either way, Leo pr. LAY-oh is wciked cool.
