How Do You Pronounce Your Name?

[Amalatte Swann]

I think my name is very easy to pronounce...

Amalatte: ah-mah-lah-tay
Swann: like swan

But I didn't use latte for my name because I love caffe latte.

[Ariel Costilow]

My name is Ariel Costilow.
You pronounce my first name as;
Ar (as in what you breathe, air)
i (it sounds like a long e, as in eel)
el (as in hello)
You may refer to that red headed mermaid, if you please.

And for my last name;
Co (it sort of sounds like a bird. "Caw")
stil (as the word, still, is pronounced)
ow (the word you say when you are utterly bamboozled. "Oh.")

In a nutshell, that is how you pronounce my name.

[Naise Puentes]

well my name is pronounced like this:

Naise - like Ness of the "monster of the lake Ness" and it rhymes with bless and chase

and Puentes comes from the spanish Bridges and is pronounced this way

Pu- like winnie the POOH or p o o p ( together the word) without the las "p"

en- like a simple "n"

tes- pronounced like and "e" not like an "i" (not like tea or teas) well a little difficulte but not so much

[Prof. Ignis Divine]

Well Ignis Divine is pronounced as following:

- I is like the i-sound of "me" and emphasis on this syllable
- g is then pronounced like the g of "good"
- nis is like the sound of the word "is" but with a n before

-Di of Divine is more like the sound of dee of the word "indeed"
-vine is pronounced the same as "mine" just a v instead of the m ^^ and emphasis of the word lays on this syllable

Well the name then sounds like this:

Eegnis Deevine

[Azarielle Doom]

Azarielle:
Az-air-ee-el

Doom:

[Zen McGregor]

My name is way easy:

Zen = Charge your Zen (yep, the japanese thing) pretty self-explained

As for McGregor:

Mc as in McDonalds
Gregor as in Gregorovitch but with stress on Gre not GOR

so,

ZEN MEK GRE - gor

[Emmilynn Shea Grace Wilder]

Ok, so my name is REALLY long.

So, Emmilynn goes like this: Em= like the first part of emily, pretty much how it looks mi = like meh and lynn = like lin

Shea is one syllable it sounds like = sh a but put together so its sha with a long a

Grace is like this: Grey sis but put togethere into one syllable grays

and Wilder is like the word While and der not wild er, but wil der.

[Hermionie Miranda]

Okay, this is how I pronounce my name:

Herm-i-oh-knee (like Hermione Granger, but I just added an ''i'')
Mir-an-da (a normal name)

On IRC you can call me Herms, Miranda, or Hermy.

This is how to pronounce my name:

Hermione: Err-MY-oun (I know your exactly pronounce it like Er-MY-o-nee, but my name is different)

But just call me Nadine

[Avira Wolvezevie]

Ready?

A = uh/ah
VIR= veer ( to veer off the road)
A = uh/ah


WOL = wool
VEZ= vehz
E= eh/uh

[Maravillas Arrington]

Marr-AH-vee-AH (Maravillas)
AIR-ington (Arrington)

[Prof. Tom Foster]

I think mine is pretty easy, tom (tooom) with the long o sound and foster (fooster) with the long o and the ster part sounds like stir.

[Karen Circa]

My name is easy! Karen (rhymes with baren) and Circa is pronounced Cir (like Seer) and Ca (like kah). I really enjoy reading about everyone else's pronunciations, We have such a nice variety of names to learn how to pronounce here on HOL!

[Evelyn Wilson]

Evelyn= Ehv-Uh-Lin
Wilson= Will-Sun
Pretty simple, no?

[Katherine Black]

Well, my name is pretty simple but here we go!

Katherine Black

Ka - It sounds like the Ca in Cat
th - This sounds like the Th in there
er - This is kind of like when you're confused and you're like err?
ine - This sounds like the word in (the E is silent)

When you put it all together it looks like...
Ca-th-err-in

but it looks like...
Katherine

And now for my last name...

Black

Well I'm not sure how to put this into words
If you listen to how they say it in the movies, it's the same as Sirius Black.

[Adoril Milner]

A as in "a"
Do as in "duh"
Ril as "grill" without the "g"

So, Ah-duh-ril

Mil as in "mill"
Ner as in "her" with a "n" instead of a "h".

So, Mill-ner

Pretty simple!

[Prof. Maquelly John]

Maquelly

Ma- pronounced like muh
quell- pronounced like quill but with an e sound instead of the I sound
ly- pronounced like lee

John

I think that is pretty obvious

[Prof. Silmarien Szilagyi]

My name is not easy to spell or to pronounce. It has caused many a headache in Ravenclaw, I'm sure.

Silmarien Szilagyi:

Sil= sil, like a window sill
mar= mar, like the Spanish word for sea or like the "mar" in March
ien= ee-en, the "i" is pronounced like the European "i" or the English "ee"

Szil= seel, like the mammal (seal)
agy= the "a" is like when the doctor tells you to open your mouth and say "ahh" and the "gy" is like the "dieu" in adieu
i= "ee"

Put it all together, and you've got it!
