[Opinions] Iphigenia...
in reply to a message by Tiggs
Iphigenia is pronounced ih-fih-jeh-NIE-ah, with the "nie" rhyming with "lie". There's no iffy genie involved! :)

I have never heard this name pronounced with a long i sound although I see several websites and dictionaries that have that as the pronunciation.
Throughout the 1977 film Iphigenia, shot on location in Aulis, the name is pronounced as:
if-fəh-ən-yah

This movie is awesome by the way. You will want to use that name even more after you watch it.

Thanks for setting me straight. Huh, I should have known that.
