Help[Opinions] Re: Myrna (ETA)
in reply to a message by Telfalathiel
I'm used to Myrna as "MUR-nuh," as in Myrna Loy the Old Hollywood actress. And because of her and William Powell in the "Thin Man" series, I've come to love the name.
"MEER-nuh?" Well, it doesn't offend my sensibilities, especially if the person is in Texas. Would I change the spelling? Only if there's a traditional Spanish (or other) name spelled Mirna. I would rather have a classic name pronounced differently than a classic name's spelling altered (if that makes sense).
ETA: Why lookee there. Mirna is in the database afterall, as a Slavic name. :-)
