How would people pronounce Danae

Like Danny or Dar-nee

I've known two and they have both been d'NAY

Pluto30 · 09/12/2016 20:22

It's Dan-AY, with emphasis on the second syllable, so almost D'NAY.

I know one. It's considered a bit tacky here.

Dan eye

Doilooklikeatourist · 09/12/2016 22:03

Dan A
And thinking it's a difficult one to get right

I say Dan AY with the stress on the ay. My classics professors pronounced it that way plus I think it's prettiest. Too strong golden showers connotations for me though!

Dan-eye.

If it was written Danaë I'd want to say dan-ah-ee.

KoalaDownUnder · 10/12/2016 21:03

Duh-nay , with the stress on the nay- sort of like d'nay.

Yes, like this. I know a couple and this is how they pronounce it, anyway.

Exactly what Cancelly said.

KlingybunFistelvase · 10/12/2016 21:07

I'd also say Dan-ay.

Ethelswith · 10/12/2016 21:17

Dan-eye

Which reflects the type of Latin I was taught at school

lljkk · 10/12/2016 21:32

DUH-nay
