I've been saying FEE-dra, based on the pronunciation on this site, but the Greek is mostly likely FIE-dra (first syllable rhyming with eye). It's nice, but the pronunciation uncertainty does put me off. I like Phoebe too, probably more, although I've always found Phoebe a little flimsy and dull. I really like Ariadne, though. (The mythological Phaedra is the famous Ariadne's sister.)

Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me—
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.
