I think Leonora is nicer than Eremia.

@MissCruellaDeVil

Sorry it reminds me of a rare medical condition.
Same.

I haven’t heard it before, it sounds beautiful.

lottiegarbanzo · 30/08/2021 23:26

Could it be Yeramia, or is it very much an E sound? If I try to pronounce Jer without sounding the J it's more like a Y sound than an E.

mrwalkensir · 30/08/2021 23:23

yep - Mumsnet is largely UK based - apologies

lottiegarbanzo · 30/08/2021 23:22

Hang on, not my first suggestion there. Whish syllable do you emphasise?

lottiegarbanzo · 30/08/2021 23:21

Is it possible to spell Eremia differently? I think it would be read as Er-EE-me-a in England. Er-eh-ME-a might be spelt Ereemia, Erramia or something.

this is an old Slavic name, the feminine version of Jeremy

Agree that Eremia sounds like some kind of illness to English ears, but if you're in Poland that won't matter. Isn't there a Polish Mumsnet equivalent you could ask?
I quite like Leonora though.

'Ere Mia get tha' int woodshed.

@DramaAlpaca

Leonora is beautiful.

I'm not so sure about Eremia, tbh.

Yep. Can you flip the order?
PetticoatSoldier · 30/08/2021 23:17

I read it as Enema Leonora 😳.... so the first part is a no from me!

Leonora is nice and I love the idea of Leo as a shortened informal name for a girl too.

lottiegarbanzo · 30/08/2021 23:17

Where does Eremia come from? I haven't heard it before.

Leonora's lovely.

We live in Poland so here it is pronounced as E-RE-MEE-AH

mrwalkensir · 30/08/2021 23:16

why? Would you like to be called that?

DramaAlpaca · 30/08/2021 23:15

Leonora is beautiful.

I'm not so sure about Eremia, tbh.

Tulips15 · 30/08/2021 23:15

I dont know how to say the first name..
Error-mia?
Its a no from me on both

SpongebobNoPants · 30/08/2021 23:15

Sounds like a cleaning product and like you’re trying too hard to be quirky / upper middle class. Sorry, just being honest they would be my first thoughts

lyntheyresexpeople · 30/08/2021 23:14

Sounds like a Harry Potter spell or a type of disease.

Babydust13 · 30/08/2021 23:11

I think Leonora is lovely but I'm not sure how to pronounce the first name properly
