[LeChatRouge]

Pur siff o knee

[EeyoresTail]

Per-sef-o-nee

[BikeRunSki]

Purse eff oh knee

Not Percy Phone (I am looking at you DH)

[Buttercup27]

Percy phone made me burst out laughing ! I pronounce it purse-eff-o-nee

[reuset]

In similar way you'd pronounce Penelope, or Antigone, if that makes sense. Them being Greek

[Hobby2014]

That you for asking this OP. I was say purser-phone in my head when reading it on here

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

Oh good job I never met any one with the name.
I've been pronouncing it Purse or phone in my head, still I don't suppose purse or phony is much better

[reuset]

You can pronounce any Greek name now, no need to worry.

Easy way is to recognize the Greek name split it into however many syllables. 'E' endings have 'ee' sounds. Works for lots of the names mentioned on here
Eurydice - yoor-rid-dee-cee
Parthenope par-the-noh-pee
Antigone an - tig- oh- nee
Eirene - Eye-ree-nee

and so on.

Bad explanation!
