I feel like I've heard people indicate that they put the stress on the first syllable in both of these names - "PER-dee-tuh" & "MEG-eh-ruh." Put I've always stressed the middle syllable and find the names MUCH prettier that way - "per-DEE-tuh" & "meg-EH-ruh." So I'm just wondering how most people who encounter these names would say them
