Reply to: Greek pronunciation of Phoebe by Lily
Phoebe = FEE-bee in Modern Greek and most likely FOY-bee in Classic Greek (refer to http://www.foundalis.com/lan/grkalpha.htm )

Zoe: zo-EE in Modern Greek (you can hear it here:
http://www.hearnames.com/name-categories/greek-names/page7.html ) and most likely zaw-EE in Classic Greek based on the phonetic I listed)

Chloe: KHLO-ee in Modern Greek, and probably KHLO-eh in Classic Greek (based on the phonetics page)

Daphne: DAHF-nee in Modern Greek (you can listen to it here: http://www.hearnames.com/name-categories/greek-names/page4.html), and probably DAHF-eh in Classic Greek (based on the phonetics page)
