ArchivesRe: How about 'ups' without the 'u' :D
in reply to a message by Mar
Well, I would say that a very small number of these names are still used, although it is becoming very popular for Greeks to resurrect old names for their kids -- hey, I named my kids Nephele and Telemachos :)
The difference between the two Psyches is on syllable that is accented; the one accented in the first syllable is *very* obsure, although there is evidence of its use.
As for the pronounciation of chi, it may be approximated by the sound of "h" in the word "house" :) It is not as harsh as the Scottish "och". Chances are this was also the way it was pronounced by ancient Greeks, but nobody is sure of that :)
Cheers,
