My name is Katherine Kay Black.

It's pronounced

The origin of both names is Greek, Katherine meaning pure and Kay meaning rejoice.

Natasha - nuh-tosh-uh or nuh-tash-uh
doesn't matter to me since it's read and not spoken. I prefer the first one, though.

Wynterborne - win-tur-born
the final "e" is silent.

Bia - the "i" is like in bee and "a" like in "avada kedrava". This name is actually a short name for the portuguese name Beatriz.
Rodrigues - "R"is like "H" in honey, "i" is like "bee" and "gue" is like in "ghetto" => Hodreeghes.
Hope I didn't make a mess trying to explain it x)

The pronounced kind of like "thay" and rhymes with fae
ia "ya" and rhymes with la

Bon like the "bon" in Bond, James Bond.
de with a short e sound (if you know French its basically de) (i hope that made sense)
vik like the "vik" in Viktor Krum

So basically:

THAY-ya BON-de-vik

My name is hard to pronounce so here it goes.

Noo (As in moo and coo)
er (perfect)
Noo- er
Noor NOT Nor which rhymes with door and is not how you pronounce my name.

I'm not going to do my last name because its just too hard!!
