ArchivesRe: Pronunciation of Leonora (this is especially directed towards Chrisell, though all help is welcome)
in reply to a message by Arcadia
Like you, I've always and only heard the lee-oh-NOR-a version; however I've also only ever met people named Leonie who pronounce it lee-OH-ni. (Surprising numbers of them, come to think of it!) But the more British, with French influence obviously, version is more like LAY-oh-ni. Perhaps the same might apply to Leonora?
