Nanaea and Nanaia? I have an idea on how they are pronounced but I want to double check.

I guess I'm looking for their 'North American'pronunciations, but if other pronunciations exist, then please do share those pronunciations.

Thank For Your Time.

My mother pronounced it "nan-ee-ah". But I understand that the more common pronunciation is "nan-eh-ah". I don't remember what Pavlos said was the pronunciation of the Greek form "Nanaia". If Pav is around, I'm sure he'll tell you. :)

I go by the nickname "Nan" most of the time, for expediency.

Nan-EH-ah
