keiva: the preferred pronunciation of the planet's name is with the accent on the first syllable
faldage: Didn't used to be. It changed overnight when the astronomers discovered a ring around it. Seriously. I was there. I heard it with my own ears.

Faldage, I'm conflicted. On the one hand, I vaguely recall that story now that you mention it (and I too originally learned the planet's name with the accent on the second syllable). On the other hand, my 1963 Websters lists the first-syllable accent as the preferred pronunciation -- and googling indicates that the rings weren't discovered until 1977.
