all the online dictionaries and sources I checked had Danae with a long e sound at the end
I don't know about online dictionaries - it's a Greek name, so (IMO as a Greek speaker) it should either be "Da-nay" (sounds like hay) or "Da-nai" (sounds like eye). I can live with the stress on either syllable - in Greek the stress would usually be on the first syllable but English speakers tend to say it with the stress on the second, and without stress markers from the Greek text it is impossible to be sure. (I realize "classics" and Latin scholars insist on pronouncing the "e" as a separate syllable but in Greek a dipthong is not usually pronounced that way. I have no idea what LM Montgomery would have used...)
Arielle, verdict please? How would you like "Danae" pronounced? (It needs to be re-recorded whatever you choose, as it currently sounds like there is a hiccup or something in the middle.)
Very nice reading - and *so* romantic!
y). Please confirm that you want that change made.
