Mine's supposed to be pronounced more like 'Sheer' instead of Shir, to distance myself from another word...

Like "Sheer-Eee"?
Bhiele2008-07-30 19:32:24
Bhiele is supposed to sound like Be-Elle.
Arix2008-07-30 19:36:43
It's SPELLED Luxury Yacht, but it's PRONOUNCED Throatwarbler Mangrove
Jack2008-07-30 20:14:22
It's pronounced "hwack".

Like Jesus is "heh-zeus".

Akui

ah-KOO-ee

Though, I also like AH-koo-ee, the above is how I say it when I think it.

Also, yay for vowels.

Ala - kar - DAI (die) - el


Yes, my name is tongue-flicking goodness. tongue.gif

It's not pronounceable. Don't even bother.
Yurika2008-07-31 07:36:03
Mine is simple as well, simply Yu rih ka (do NOT confuse it with Eureka, since there is MUCH emphasis on ree in Eureka.) The name is Japanese and it is enunciated quite precisely.
Unknown2008-07-31 07:57:44
Am-ihr-anth

like the flower, but with an ir instead of an ar

and

Edelweiss is pronounced

Ay-dell-vice

edited to add edelweiss

I was pronouncing it Ree-Ehd. Do what I do, guys. I just assume characters in game are pronouncing my name correctly, unless someone tries to pronounce it phonetically, at which point I correct them in a tell. This is a rare occurence though, and usually only happens if someone is RPing an accent, or on one occasion was marking me down for a guild scroll and asked me to spell my name. (Their RP involved not assuming they knew everything about someone just because they could see honors and names floating in the air)

And Sthai, I say as 'S-thigh'
Saaga2008-07-31 09:33:20
Saaga is fairly straightforward, is it not?

Saah-gah?

EDIT: I'm so bad with phonetics.
Eventru2008-07-31 10:48:43
Eh-ven-tru!

Not Eeven-tru. Or even Eeveentru. Or Event-rue. Eh-ven-tru.
Saaga2008-07-31 10:53:06
In Finglish, it's E'venttru.
