So here is the story....
1) Dylia gets convinced by Zorbels to download skype
2)Dylia downloads skype and takes two months to get a mic XD
3)Dylia finally gets mic and a few other players on skype
The most common question.... \"Dylia how do I say your name?\"
I think \"for freaksakes I don\'t know\" but then try anyways
So I thinks its pronounced as follows: die-la [Edit Add] or as Drey pointed out I said it like: du (as in duck) lie-la [End Edit]
I know it doesn\'t make sense but whatever
So......... now the REAL question :D
How do you pronounce your name? >.>
-
Xor - dan
Hard eh? :P
-
Zie-an
-
that\'s how I pronounce your name when I see you about...
Snoin = Snow-in. I came up with it because I was looking at my Scion mousepad (I drive a Scion tC) and I was eating sno-caps when I made my character...

ill be back with some edits later... time to record.
dont know how long this (http://s41.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0S9KOIBZBOZA92XJ3N1QCCSF8X) will last... shout if you want to hear it.

Yes this is true *is so busted* but today I actually thought about it :P and at least your name is easy >.> to pronounce that is....
[Edit]
(okay I risk missing lunch >.> bah I will just eat in class)
*listens to Drey saying names* XD
this is true I guess but you talked a little fast ;) and i thought that was the way I spelled it out >.>
-
I pronounce Dylia ==> Dee-lee-[a]
in french :p
Seth\'eel for Setill
And Karunor as key runner :D
-
Kah-ree-you, not Carry-you. I hate it when people mess up like that ;)
*edit* Turns out I always pronounced \"Dylia\" Bebel\'s way, too. Funky.

Hmm... I did not think of it that way :/ in my defence where did the \"y\" in my name go >.>
as for your name I though it was: Set-ill .....but not that simple I guess XD
@Karyuu yay!!! I got one right finally... erm okay I was helped a little *blushes*
-
Kiirani, kee-rah-nee..
-
accents make these names so much funnier.
-
Mine might be a bit non-intuitive for english speaking people:
\"Hee-tahn-kree-ahs\" with the accent on the second syllable
Not that I really mind if people pronounce it somewhat different.

Hmm.. That\'s actually quite close to how I would have pronounced it.
\\o/ go me!
-
I would pronounce \"Dylia\" probably that way:
Dy... -- with the \"y\" like in \"my-stery\"
...li (berty) - a
BTW: I have Skype too. But be warned, I\'m a native german, my written english is better...
__
What, my name? \"Gag\" - pretty obvious, maybe a little towards an open \"a\" like in \"after\".
-
Alhana - But I pronouce it as: Al-lan-a :P
Odessa - O-des-sa.
-
hmmm Ssss - ill (like \"will\")
-
some additions which are mostly me talking to myself... but yeah.

-
[silly question]Can\'t you just pronounce your names the way how they are written? =P [/silly question]
Ok, Karyuu hate it (but still, I would pronounce it a bit different), so i ques it\'s one of the names i have to learn, in case of getting mic and skype xD
-
Seng-us (us as in \"wuss\" not \"bus\" ) :P
Thought Alhana was pronounced A-lya-na. The dissapointment! :(
Also, try saying:
bebelbebelbebelbebelbebelbebelbebelbebelbebelbebelbebelbebel
-
Fal-zeek. It\'s the trouble with fantasy names, some are unpronounceable. Anyone else have enormas trouble thinking up names?

Ylikone = ew-lee-ko-neh

Mah-Sahj
I\'ve always pronounced dylia as: Di-Lee-ya (short \'i\')
I\'ve always been switching karyuu\'s name between carry-you (sry bout that) and car-you.

Ah good, I have been right all this time. /me is relieved. :)

*thinks... says it a few times*
so yours is: nick-o-dem-us?
@LigH: now every time I see Alhana I will hear \"Black Velvet\" XD
@Drey: see! see! I make sense O.o and btw thanks for the slower recording :P good speaking Drey
-
My current conclusion is that people tend to pronounce their fantasy game names in a way how they would be pronounced in Latin / German / Scandinavian languages :)
-
Originally posted by Karyuu

Seems like I nearly messed it up, I always pronounced your name like \"car-you\" (without a recognizable pause between the syllables). ;) That seemed to be the easiest and shortest way to pronounce it.
But well, I\'m sure you want to know how my name is prononced. Frankly, I never really thought about it, as long as the spelling is correct. So I guess it\'s something like:
Tho-ro-na-dor
i.e. the first syllable like in \"though\", the second like the beginning of \"road\", third one like \"nah\" (sometimes also a bit like \"ney\", but don\'t mess it up ;)), and the last one like the word \"door\".
That\'s it, basically. If that is to difficult, just say \"Thor\", the short form of my name which some people in my guild like to use, mainly because they are unsure how to spell the rest of it. :P

I would rather say they pronoune it the way how they do it in their native language, but that is only my personal opinion. Maybe because i don\'t think of my name being pronounced in Latin / German / Scandinavian =P
Originally posted by Dylia

Very close. If there comes about syllabizing i would ni-ko-de-mus. You can gues english isn\'t my native ;) and i don\'t know much about writing the way how you pronounce.
Dylia would be just Dy-lia for me ;)
Hehe, and for me \"y\' is vowel what I know in eglish isn\'t :P Correct me if i messed somethink.

[Edit]
Yay for Rilar..... see Drey I do make sense you are the crazy one :P
-
Well, I sometimes also hear an \"l\" in Dylia when shes pronouncing it.. like De-lie-la
I am pronouncing Rilar like Ri (like in risk)-lar (with an \"a\" like in \"shall\")...

/me stamps her feet.
@Dylia: I remember saying to you on skype how I thought your name went.

Dylia laughs evily then coughs \"erm... no I will hear black velvet.... and I forgot how you said my name cause we only talked once..\" >.> then returns to being good :)

This is how I pronounce Sangwa:
Sang-wa
Sang, with a closed \"a.\"
Wa as in \"war.\"
Oh? Some of you actually thought it was pronounce Go-d?
Go, with an open O
And D as in Dominator
How kind. :P
-
Originally posted by Sangwa

No, must be a rumour, nothing else. :P
(I assume someone whose name is pronounced like Sang-wa actually gave currency to this rumour. ;))
-
Haha, you don\'t know how many odd pronunciations I get from \"Jjairr\"...
So, Jjairr. First off, the extra J and R do nothing. Nothing at all! Except add fun fancy decoration. I mean, Jjairr is just so much kewler lookin\' than Jair. Seriously.
One syllable. Hard J. Rhymes with \"hair\", \"stare\", \"lair\", and \"glare\".
Jjairr! \\O/
-
Eee-colem
That\'s gota be the easiest one to say. I could probably take away the two ee\'s and leave it as it is spelt and it would still make sense.
As for Dyila, Dee-la
:P
-
My name was intended to be pronounced Gin-keen\' with the emphasis on the \"keen\" part so that it drew aout a bit.
But Dylia, which incidentally is pronounced dial\' - ya where I come from and so she shall so be called in Skype or wherever forever, calls me jing\'-kin as in rhymes with drinkin\'. So I have accepted that as the true pronunciation of my name.
Dial\'-ya and Jing\'-kin forever
*50th post woohoo

My name is pathetically easy to pronounce.
Ci-Ris Arc-Um.

Kha-door-is
Kha...as in khan
Door as in that thing you keep walking into by accident
and is as in \"Cadoras is god\"
....Most just call me GodAlmighty :D
God-all-might-ee

Hmm... position \"God\" was taken by Sangwa already in this thread and he made at least a reason that could make sense in a twisted way.....
@Cyrus: I was so close... I said it like \"sigh-rus\" :P
-
Eh, there are thousands of gods in Real life, there can be a few in planeshift :P
Besides, Sang-wa is a monkey.
-
meh, all yous Westerners with your spellings and pronounciations... Back here, we have a \"read as it has been written\" rule, without any modifications.
But that don\'t apply to my name, no.
Shooree= the \"Shoo\" is just like the exclamation you use for shooing that pesky cat, and the accented \"ree\" is like in \"REhab\".
@Jjairr: :O you just destroyed a boy\'s world, young lady! I thought I was good with linguistics... :(
-
There\'s but one god, Cador\'is. And that\'s me, the monkey god everyone worships.
Here\'s how you mortals must pronounce my glorious name:
Moon-key Gau-d
Moon as in... the moon;
Key, like the the thing most people use to open locks;
Gau as in the Final Fantasy 3 (or 6) character;
D as in Dohmygodsangwaowns.
or
Cq-ktr-xg
As in, \"I\'m bored and have little to do before going off to school.\"

steuben viscosa: stoo\'-ben vis (like fish but without the \'h\') co (long \'o\') saw
tovera: toe vear raw, should really bring her out more.

Archon = Ark - on.
Valbrandr has called me Arch - on, on Skype, that mongruel! v.v

-
Hokinon Korere = Hockey non Koh rare
as for Dylia I tend to shorten it to Di anyway :)
@ JJairr I always pronounced it ShShaire with the Sh as in the french J :)
-
Haha, that\'s so cool Cherppow!
I could recognize myself and most of the others aswell. Especially liked the rrr\'s
-
Goland McCray
Gall (With a hard G, rhymes with mall or all)
Lend (Rhymes with bend and tend)
Mick (Rhymes with Lick and Pick)
Cray (Sounds like the first syllable of crayon, rhymes with day and bay)
I pronounce it more with an irish or scottish accent than anything. When I talk naturally I usually have a New England accent (Car = Cah, Quarter = Kwah tah, Coffee = Cawh fee). Some people like it, Some people hate it. My accent gets a lot worse when I get upset.

@Cherppow: \\o/ I love to be able to hear it and my you have a heavy accent. O.o
In anycase you and Drey rock! :D
@Hokinon: *giggles* I cheated on your name... Rilar taught me how to say it >.>

Alhana walks off grumbling
Dylia grins and sings:
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
Mama\'s dancin\' with baby on her shoulder
The sun is settin\' like molasses in the sky
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything
Always wanting more, he\'d leave you longing for
Chorus:
Black velvet and that little boy\'s smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that\'ll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please
Up in Memphis the music\'s like a heatwave
White lightening, bound to drive you wild
Mama\'s baby\'s in the heart of every school girl
\"Love me tender\" leaves \'em cryin\' in the aisle
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Always wanting more, he\'d leave you longing for
chorus
Every word of every song that he sang was for you
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon, what could
you do?
(Solo)
chorus repeats 2x
If you please, if you please, if you please
Dylia giggles at Ahlana
so anyways....
@Taser: True not a very hard name but you never know someone may call you teaser... or umm ty-zer... god only knows what people think up >.>
-
OMG Dylia I hate you... >:/ now I have that song stuck in my head. I am going to phone you and play many of many kids songs till you scream with insanity .... if you don\'t pick up the phone I am coming for a sleep over. :P
My name is Zor - bels ... it is easy to pronouce.

Alhana unplugs her fingers from her ears, shakes her head and looks about
And I thought the soulless sound bad on a good day.
Are you sure you havent been taking lessons from them in the Underealm Dylia?
Alhana shouts
Bring Out Your Dead!... Bring Out Your Dead!...
*Giggles*

Incidentally, I always pronounced Dylia as dill-ia...

well I thought it was obvious, but thinking about it made me all confused :/
Ral as in Rally (thanks Dylia)
is as in hiss (thanks again Dylia).
I thought for a while it was more like Ral-us...but I think Ral-iss is better. Just don\'t accent that second syllable and it\'ll sound right.

Sefron. -> Seff + Ron

So......... now the REAL question :D
How do you pronounce your name? >.>
I have quite a few.
Mitaki - Mee-tah-kee
Xilam - See-lahm
Kenti - Ken-tee
Aral - Arr-ahl
And dammit, don\'t say Mitaki as Ma-tee-kee
=P
-
Ack! I thought Alhana was pronouced as:
A-lha-na
Closed A
Lha like in spanish or portuguese \"Ilha\"
na like Christina.
*throws a dagger at Cadoras*
Just to \"cut\" things short xD
Plus, good think I\'ve brought my shrubbery along.
-
duh, I\'m getting blunt. I\'d never spell Alhana any different than Sangwa just did. Next thing you know, I\'ll be calling Jjairr \"Dzhy-Dzhayr\" again. :|
-
Nicken Perrine
Nick-en Pear(as in the fruit)-in
That\'s how my family pronouces our last name btw, but I see it might come from Italy (?) since theres a whole bunch of folks from Italy on skype with Perrine as their last name and I was wondering how it\'s pronouced over there. I would assume it would be pronouced different.
-
Hell-ee-ose

Oddly enough you pronounce Arka Garam exactly as written:
Khah-zxy Jihg-room.
;)
-
I\'m Acissej in-game.
Since I got Skype going ppl have been asking me this very question... I pronounce it thus
Assee-say [the J is silent]
Will there be a \"pronouncing your name backwards\" thread? Cos thats usually what ppl say to me first in the game... grrr!

That\'s how I have always pronounced it. Don\'t let her take your name away man. :D
As for me, Einnol Feldorm ...
three syllables: E-in-ul
Although, Alleri likes to pronounce it as \'In-ul\'. Whatever you do, don\'t pronounce it as \'Anal\'. :D (It has already been done.)
Feldorm is easy enough ... Fell-dorm.

Satayne,...rhymes with \"the Brain\" ROFL

I am Crimsonn Draycko. KRIM-son DRAY-ko . If you can\'t pronounce this then I pity you. And for anyone to need my pity-- that is sad. :P
-
Aerium is pronounced Air-e-um
(Well that\'s how I pronounce it).
-
Curufinwe (actually Curufinw?)
Ku-ru-fin-w? (the \"?\" at the end, means it\'s not prononced as in \"\'we\' are cool\", but as in \"that\'s the \'exit\'\"), and the \"u\"s are pronounced a in \"sumit\" not as in \"you\".
Hope it\'s not too complicated, it\'s easier to understand if you speak spanish (we pronounce almost everything as it\'s spelled, different letter combinations rarely alter proninciation)
-
call lum, sorry thats my char name
mine
night stallion
-
NOT Saw-row [Sorrow] It\'s Say-row [Sarrow!]
I have nothing to do with suffering or other depressing depictions, in fact im a fairly happy person with insane ideas..
So again it is Say-row Zar-key...
NOT Sorrow! *pants*
-
My name: Symlyst - sim (as in The Sims) list (as in grocery list lol)
My character: Bikaye Kolebied - bi (the i as in \"is\") kay (as in okay) and Kole (as in cold but remove the d) bied (pronounced bee since the d is silent)
hope that makes sense ^_^

Hi there,

I remember an old thread on the same subject, but instead of necro\'ing it, I\'ll just post here.
Mine\'s pretty easy.
Kicks + (Smee! - m)
And you\'ve got it :D
-
heeoo-len
Simple. :P
EDIT: Ack, pronounced my own name wrong, I was still trying to come up with how it was pronounced myself. :P
-
Here goes mine...
\"Ha\" as in hat
\"re\" pronounced ray
\"na\" as is like in gnat or nap.
I don\'t care if someone says it differently though. I like the variety. It\'s awesome. :]
-Harena
-
Crimsonn Draycko: KRIM-son DRAY-ko
Laredo Silverspring: lah-RAY-doe SIL-ver-spring
-
Tie. For. Ee. Un. I love that name...it sounds so...strange...XD
I would pronounce your name Die-lee-uh, but whatever is official... ;)
I was right about karyuu, though i remember i used to mentally short it to kar, just to go easy on myself.
Seperot has to be the easiest to pronounce strange sounding name ever.
The rest I either...didn\'t try to pronounce before finding out the \'right\' way of doing it...or...Didn\'t read because i thought 2.5 pages of random names of people i barely remember and/or have never met just weren\'t worth my time. :D
-
\"Smith\". Now I know it LOOKS like it should be \"Sir Right\" but most of the letters are silent!
:tongue:

Blacksmith - look it up in any dictionary if you don\'t know

Nathaluth Sumaza: NA-tha-lu-eth SU-maa-zaa

VAY-los AR-jent
Simple, yet elegant in its simplicity :D
-
Goldir
-Gold as in the metal

I know that last syllable because I used to be indecisive, but now I\'m not so sure.

Old Topic indeed. I haven't seen or herd from Dylia in PS in a long time. Course I always pernounced her name da(h)-lia/DAL-yah like in the unsolved Black Dahlia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Short) murder. Don't ask me why cause I couldn't tell ya.
My name is a pretty easy one so I will not insult anyone by sounding it out.

Now the other ones(No more hiding ;) ):

I just find it hilarious that Illyria and I have such similar names. ;D
Mine is the same with exception of a S instead of a R.
Caterean is prounounced Ka-tear-ee- an
-
Alecin gave me a few problems when I was gifted it by Talad.
However since most of my friends call me Ale then it's only right my name should be pronounced Ale-Sinn.

leroner - leroner

I think I'm just posting for fun but here goes for those of you who dont know :
Aerianna
Air-re-on-na or my nickname of Aeri is just said like Air-e
although somone said they say it like: eh-ree-ah-nah (eh like in air) same basice prounceuation :)
-
I usually pronounce my name Iri-dena like airy, but I usually like Iri as a nickname. I would be interested to know how others pronounce it.
Idoru- what about this? iadoreyou :sweatdrop:? :D
-
Mrriyah = Murr-"eye"-uh.
Iridena, I'd been seeing yours as Eer-ih-deen-uh.
-
Well, as for the english pronounciation, I think people do call me:
Wrong-gahr Elle-ny
But I usually pronounce it:
Rrong-gar Eh-laah-ny
I would answer to both though :flowers:
-
Freddo --> fred (as in the colour red) - o ( as in snow)
Easy to say, easy to spell, easy to type. What could be easier?
-
What could be easier?
A
-
socius, are you trying to say you wan't to read A as A everytime you see E :s
I have no idea why some people like to read things different to as they are written.
Haha, I must really get a mic once and laught when i spell some names. Ojaveda would be most funny i suppose.
-
socius, are you trying to say you wan't to read A as A everytime you see E :s
;D No It was just a silly no brainy comment, What is the easiest name I can think of is 'A'
it's easy to say, easy to type and easy to spell, and don't forget it's easy to remember ;)
I even has a certain value as it is the first letter of the alphabet ;)
-
What is the easiest name I can think of is 'A'
I wouldn't be so sure ;D
-
Quite simple but just in case here is mine: Elm (as in Elm tree) eye (as in what you use to see with) so Elmeye, spoken without a space so its not Elm-eye
-
Quite simple but just in case here is mine: Elm (as in Elm tree) eye (as in what you use to see with) so Elmeye, spoken without a space so its not Elm-eye
But surely it's either Elm-eye or it's Ell-my (Ell as in fell, and my as in try)?
-
for a few of my chrar's
Frak - pretty straightforward I reckon
Al-mair-ee-an Fear-el-ay - Almarian Ferelai

re-opening a dead thread, it seems :)
Cebot -> See (like look or like lake :D) Bot (as in robot)
Denana Poceg -> Dehhh-nahhh-nahhh Pohhh-sek (like sack, but with an sharp E)
-
Might as well throw mine in as well, since at least IRL I've heard a lot of mispronounciations...
Kieve = "Key-vh"
Not to be confused with Kiev (city in the Ukraine) which I understand is "Ky-ehv"
...and anyone who feels like making a Chicken Kiev joke - don't bother, I've heard them all.
-
Anarkia is pronounced like... An - arr - ki - a. "An" is said like the name Ann, "arr" like a pirate with a small roll of the R (not always said like that, as it's barely noticeable), and "ki-a" like the automobile. Her last name is obvious: Shade - claw
Ain't that awesome.
-
Serk Fett, easy pronouncing for such unusual spelling.
-
Now I don't know how to do this...dictionary pronounciation thing, just read it as you see it. :P

sorry about the sound stuff, but I mixed together several alphabets in my name...

My name is Ved Rit (Like in "Written"), not Ver dict, or Ved Rat, or Virdet.
Thank you for your moment of time to learn how to say my name correctly
-
Lenade is pronounced 'Alblin'
I don't know if anyone gets that :-\
-
Mine is pretty simple: Mal-eek
My wife's name (Senice) is pronounced with a 'sh' sound: Shen-ees
My last name is also pretty simple: Har-mack (just how it's spelt)
My useless and disobedient groffel is Farnal (Farn-all)
-
Giving it a try ...
Asentis = As - ent - is
Vallenhigh - Val - len - hi - gh
Kinda like a diablo runeword ..but its easy realy..
-
Oo, I forgot one.
Ikatim - Ee-kah-teem
-
Xor - dan
Hard eh? :P
I always said Zor-Dan...
steuben viscosa: stoo\'-ben vis (like fish but without the \'h\') co (long \'o\') saw
tovera: toe vear raw, should really bring her out more.
I always thought it was more like St-eh-Bun :P
Anyways the name Earl is obviously taken obviously... So my character does not have earl in his name...
People on the forums always call me earl... but In my name Earl is a title! :P
Well here is Listbard
List - (like a List of stuff)
Bard - (like a Bard who sings tales of brave warriors.)
And then you get Listbard
-
Opeitus Solorin
Oh-pay-it-us Soh-lor-in
I tried for a bit of a greek name, since he follows a loosely hermetic philosophy with some of aristotle's ideas of substances.
-
Gee-er-free. I hate it when everyone pronounces it "Guy-er-free." My poor misunderstood character x.x
-
Lie-af Gal-an-gal
Yes I lie sometimes *winks*
-
im SHAW-NI
shauni...do you think its a girls name coz im a boy and my sis keeps saying it is : :-\
-
Shawn would be more masculine. Funny that i know someone else under this nick, not in PS though.
Listen to your sis ;P
-
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
\\o//
-
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
-
I dunno about the rest of you but I pronounce my name with phonemes.
-
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
-
Myshka = MISH(like miss)-kah
-
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']
-
S[eye] -- BEE -- lee -- uh
-
Mines easy, Jew-Ray-Knee-An, so difficult :P
-
My first name: Gaian, with both the "a" as in "hArd" and the "i" as in "clIck"
The Second names: Arykan "a" as "hard", "y" as "easy" the second "a" is long.
Pantheress and Shiningmoon... I hope that you don't need to know how do I say them :)
-
