Well I made an attempt to read all 12 pages of this post and I failed.   :P

To answer the original question (if there was one), I would have pronounced it "di-lee-uh", although I could see "die-lee-uh" (accent on the second syllable in both of those).

As for my name, I have always pronounced it (in my head at least) "Fal-door" (not "Fall-door"), but as I will likely never hear anyone else pronounce it, I don't really care how it sounds in your head.   ;D

Well I've heard people pronounce my name and I don't think I've ever heard anyone pronounce it like I do, so I like this thread already. I get to correct EVERYONE right here and not feel like the backside of a Pterosaur.  Everyone pronounces it Sil-ah-vur  but it is in fact

Sil - eh - ver

My name, Andoryn Thaakor, would be properly pronounced as Ahn - doh - rihn tFaa - kor. But I won't look weird if that gets messed up by anyone.  ;)

Monala: Pretty straightforward. Mon (as in pokemon) - Nala (like Simba's mate)

Asailie: A - Sail - Lee

Amaneldth = Ah-mahn-EL-deth

But if you pronounce it with a lisp, it sounds more like "I'm an elf".  And I AM Dermorian.   :D

hehe, this is quite ridiculous. but not that anyone involved in the game would be reason for that. languages have grown wrong, i should say.
The written language has moved away for being a notation or explanation of the sound, as it was in beginning. so the only way out is choosing your mothers language to be one, that does not differ in written and spelled stuff. like spanish, but definately not english. uldics (not UL like Al Gore, not DIC like dice, not uldics like how do i spell it).

ps. am i talking nonsence? no. remember the tower of babel.

I suppose I should update mine:

Fair-en [like the fair in fairy or... Fair, like, the carnival. and the 'en' of 'end' it could also be said as 'in' rather then 'en' I suppose, but 'en' is correct]
Lin-dar ['Lin' like 'linen' and 'dar' like as in, 'dark']
