I can't decide how my name is pronounced.

In my head it sounds like I-Shy. Or I suppose it could be interpreted as Ass-High.

That's actually why I mentioned RAI-ehd, because someone told a third person that's how Ried pronounces her name, and I was like, "...uh, no."

rah-lehn-bek

I always it was the third mis-pronounciation, so when you first came onto the scene I kept misreading it...

Eh-lo-dres

I'm curious as to how various people pronounce my name, so post how you think my name should be pronounced.

Hm.. I've always thought it was like Ee-sahn-noh

Ash-eye. But with more of a breathy 'h' before the 'eye. Ash-hi. That's how I do it, anyway.

But I have to say that, all of two times I spoke to someone from Lusternia/Achaea on the phone and they were saying character names, I tried to avoid it, because I never say them out loud and it just feels so awkward.

It was the time I realized that "Sadye" is pronounced "Saidie." I had always said "Sad-yay" and when I asked her IG later, she confirmed that it was "Saidie."

So anyway, Linaeve is supposed to be Lin-ay-vay. But said quickly, it goes more off the tongue like Lin-eh-vey, I suppose. I know most people think Lin-ayve, but I just but more emphasis on that 'e' at the end.

I always thought it was 'Eh-Saw-Know'


as for mine, Chroi = K-roy

I'm about in the same boat as some of the others, I haven't really thought about how I'd pronounce my name.. some say like.. Vu-thayl and I've heard others say it Vath-ay-el.

I've been saying "VATH-eyl".

I've been saying VA-thael too.

Aramel's name is pronounced with a long initial a (as in father, not in cat) and a schwa on the second a.

AH-ruh-mel

+ no lies = Eeveentru?

Zi-el

Nowai.

I've pronounced it like Zeal.

I wonder how Maylea and Isune and Viravain are pronounced.

I've probably been slaughtering those.

Aw. -patpat- You learn new things every day! And as for me, I've pronounced Maylea as May-lay-ah, Isune as Ih-soo-nay, and Viravain as Vi-rah-vain.

kr-in

Huh. I actually say it as Si-el, not with that crappy 'z'.

And if I feel like it, SAI-el.

Maylea = May-lee
Isune = Ih-zoo-nay
Viravain = Veer-uh-vain

Maybe the z thing is because I'm from NYC or something. o_o()

Gawds help me if I stawt tawkin' like dis, aw like I broked'd mah doofz.
