Sean - Pronounced "Shawn"

Cavenaugh...

Ca - Like the 'ca' in cat.
ven - like the 'ven' in vent
augh - like 'awe' as in 'awe, poor thing'

My second is easy but my first does flummox people from time to time:

Rhiannon is pronounced, Ree-an-non , not too hard methinks!

Hmmm. Not thinking mine is too hard.

An - said like "on"
yet - said like... well... "yet"

Mon - ryhmes with "con" or "fawn" or "lawn"
tree- said like "tree"

~Ni as in "no" only with an i-sound (the 'i' in ice) instead of an o-sound

A ( as in another)-nas (like nas in nascar)- sa (saw) ( emphasis on nas) = Anassa (Ancient greek for "queen")

Di (like in dig) kai ( rhymes with guy)- os (like in hose) ( Ancient greek for "righteous")

These may not be the correct pronunciations, but they are how I've chosen to pronounce them.

PadmÃ© UndÃ³miel

Pad as in, well, pad

mÃ© as the 'ey' sound in grey

Un as the Spanish word for one, 'un'

dÃ³ a bit like a shor 'da' in dawn, or a short and precise duh, without the 'h'

mi as 'mi' in the singing warm-up do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do

el as the Spanish el, like el chico, el ciudad

So it's:

Pad-mÃ© Un-dÃ³-mi-el

Thoth Van

THOTH - pronounced as TOT, the T's not like in "today", but in "but", and the O like in GOD

Van - it's not pronounced like the the vehicle, but like AN in Evander, except that in VAN the N is short

LOL!! /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> I've just looked back at my post from 2002 and.... hehe, I'd forgotten what a mischievous young second year I was.

No, I have always been called October Jackson.

And I'm sure I don't need to explain the pronunciation, but just for the record, it's pronounced:
October - oktoe-ba (as in the month), or Toby for short - toe-bee
Junia - joon-eea
Harriet - harry-ut
Jackson - jak-sen

I hope you can pronounce it especially because Becca is Rebecca without the Re and Granger is Hermione's last name so...... ya lol
