222.0. "Loedicia" by SHIRE::BUJAS (Veni, Vidi, Lostit) Wed May 04 1988 09:09

    I don't know the meaning of it. I don't think it has a meaning,
    I'm just looking for the phonetics.
    How is it said?
    
    LO-DEE-CEEA?
    LO-DY-CEEA?
    Or?
    
    I read it in a book, I like it, but I have to find out how to pronounce
    it. :-)
    
    Thank you for your help

    You've HEARD of someone with that name?
    
    I've never known anybody who had heard that name before. But thank
    you for the pronounciation.

    I've heard of the name too.  I just can't remember where.  It was
    someone I met briefly.  It was pronounced: low-dees-a.

222.4That's how I heard it, not how I'd pronounce it!KAOFS::S_BROOKMany hands make bytes workWed May 04 1988 16:4611
    Looking at the name, although having heard it pronounced as in .1,
    I cannot help but feel that if I saw it before I heard it, I'd be
    inclined to pronounce it like
    
       Boadecia [sp?]
    
    Boa-de-see-ah
    
    I only heard it once!
