Behind the Name: Comments for the name Daphne

Comments for DAPHNE:

This name is also used in Dutch, but then it is pronounced as DAHF-nuh. I think it's very pretty that way.

Everybody I've ever met has pronounced my name at first as "DAF-uh-nee", with three syllables, rather than two, probably to ease the pronunciation. It's a consistent problem with every Floridian and Marylander (the places I've lived) I've ever met :/
