Ya'll are lucky, I think from what I can tell most of your names are made up...my mum CHOSE mine! So everytime I go to a new school or a new hospital its like MUM!

Kyd- just like kid
lynn - linn

you'd think it be easy...but its not for some people and it drives me BONKERS!

Wheew that felt good to get out! /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

My name is pretty... easy... It's not as interesting or from various origins as other names, but it's quite "sing-songish" and not difficult to remember. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Elle: pronounced "L," like when you say the alphabet. It gets really aggravating when people call me Elle-lay and some other mispronounciations.

Saint: pronounced, well... "saint," like in St. Charles or St. Peters

Crystal Key is pronounced CRIS-tal KEY, not Crys-TULL or Crys-TIL. Or anthing else, it is very commonly mispronounced as far as I can see.

Ross [Rauce...like..Meat Sauce lol]

Cait [rhymes with hate]
lin [like the name Lynn. Nothing fancy]

LilyaÃƒÂ±a
Lil [rhymes with dill]
y [Eeeeee!]
aÃƒÂ±a [like Anya. Ahn-yuh]

Caretis

e [rhymes with hay]
tis [like the word tis--but more like a z on the end]

Cait-lynn Lil-ee-ahn-yuh Curr-ay-tiz

I'll spare the rest of my middle names and such. *g*

Hon-like hun
ey-the E sound in easy

Weas- like wheeze

Oria Bly: is pronounced
OR-E-A

BLI

Everyone here can pronounce PIX, I'm sure.

"Ouais" is sort of the French word for "yeah." To get it right, you have to say oo-eh really, really fast. It ends up sounding like WEH, which is the best way. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Post by **Gabrielle Walker** » Sun Jul 03, 2005 12:18 am

Gabrielle

Gab (like the word to talk. It isn't so hard.)
ri (like the re in re-do)
elle (Say the letter L)

Walker

Walk (like the word walk)
er (ending in sound in river.)

These are pretty easy.

My name is kinda odd...... /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

Marguerite:

Mar-rhymes with "tar", beginning with a M sound
guer-rhymes with "stir", beginning with a G sound
ite-like "eat"

Daae:

Like "die", then the last part rhymes with "say"

And NO, Daae is not pronounced like day! /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

It's all french so that explains it.......

Lo as in "Low"
den as in well "den"

my last name is just what it looks like

Ever-Cast

Post by **Alentia Crystalis** » Sun Jul 03, 2005 3:26 am

Alentia is kinda wierd. It's mainly

And Crystalis is basically

Chris-ta-lis (and say it fast)

Ea=
start saying "a" as in father, and then quickly move your mouth to the very Canadian word "eh!"
vin=
rhymes with bin except with a "b"

Braen=
kind of sounds like brown except with an "aaahh" instead of an "owww"

wood=
well, exactly like you would normally say wood.

Well, I actually have no idea of how you correctly pronounce my name, cause I got it from a couple of books (first name from one book and last name from another one), but I'd like it to be pronounced like this:

Ve - rhymes with 'the'
ri - 'ree'
ty - 'tee'

Ve - same as above
lis - like in 'list' but without the t
