Okay... I was recently reminded how anyone at anytime can mis-pronounce names that they see on the screen. Example: I was constantly pronouncing Ialie as Ee-uh-lee. From the videos I found on YouTube, obviously I'm wrong. I think she was pronouncing it Eye-al-ee. Hm. Ah well.

Mine: Linwe (Lihn-way)

Anyone else?

This is good, as some of your names frankly confuse me all to hell.

Valarien.

Vahl-are-ee-ehn

I'm not a root, either, so spell my damned name right :/

Jigan can be pronounced several ways...

Jee-Gin (G-gin?)
Jee-Gan (G-gan?)
Yee-Gan
Yee-Gin

It doesn't bother me how you pronounce it. I use them all at random. It's mainly accent and how you stress the word.

Your post defies the purpose of this thread and only serves to spread unwarranted confusion! Woe!

Fine, go with Gee-gan version.

We should get you and daedalion next to eachother...

Shall we? Shall we really get into this? No-one has yet to say Soll right.

I pronounce Astraea 'Bob'.

Well, at the least, I know HOW to say Soll right, but my mind refuses to do it. Kind of like how I (ironically) spent years mispronouncing pronunciation as pronounciation.

EDIT:: I've always said Soll like 'soul' >.>

Wouldn't it be like doll? Or ball?

By the way, Noola is ... noo-la.

Yeah, but you Americans go 'Dawl', or 'Bawl'.

That's how everyone seems to want to say it. I get too many people go, "Haha, Soll's soul." I don't protest anymore.

And would you mind putting it as you would?

Which if I remember correctly, few ever got when you said 'doll'.

Ooooh, buoy.

Tzeh-kul-kaan.

I posses no command over phonetic spelling, so you will need to make do with what I can provide. Nonetheless, I am really curious as to how one would expect to pronounce the names of fellow lusternians.

EDIT: And that first 'e' is 'pet', not 'peer'.

loo-CAHN, emphasis on second syllable. To be honest, I didn't come up with the name. I came into Lusternia specifically to play Solarus' and Everiine's son (along with Maeka) and Solarus was the one who thought of the name. She has some big book o' dragon stuff and saw it in there. I dunno how she pronounces it, but it's loo-CAHN to me, and he's MY chara, so that's how it's pronounced, damnit.

And Linwe, as much as I hate to admit that I'm a Sailormoon fanboy...I love your signature. Marry me.

Oh.... so how do you pronounce doll and ball and Soll then?

Is the T silent?

Finally! Vindication!

Everyone else kept trying to correct me.

I think Soll = Sawl.

I think Valarien would have named himself something else if he'd played Achaea.

And I like this thread. Xenthos and I do this for fun sometimes. And yes, Shayle = shale. Yay for simplicity.
