How Do You Pronounce Your Name?

Post by **Jonathan Rico** » Sun Dec 28, 2003 2:44 am

I dont even have to say mine is easy. But just incase. Jon-a-than, and of course Seeker. But people end up spelling my name wrong such as Johnathan.

Mine is pretty easy too -

Gwynna - "GWEN-uh"

Ryan - (Like the boys name), RIE-uhn

See? Simple.

By the way, Hemo, I had your name wrong /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> My own cousin....*shakes her head at self*

St-A-R

I haven't seen this thread before? O.o

There's about a bazillion ways to pronounce Leana, and it would probably depend one where you come from. I would'nt mind which, but my way...

Le - as in lee, see, bee, tea
a - ah, as in when you stick out your tongue at the doctors
na - nuh, like, duh with an n

Pretty much its Le-AH-na. Other ways would be Le-ANN-uh, Ann being like a middle name. But it doesnt sound right to me that way XD

Morrison - More - is - un(like, undo)

Soo, Le-AH-na MORR-is-on

I beleive I started a topic like this once, but it was closed because of this one. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Maybe that is where you saw it, Leana.

Eleanor: Ell-ehh-nore
Ella: Elle-uh (some people pronounce it Ai-yuh)
Chambers: Chame rymes with Came Burrs

So...yes. Not that hard. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

My first name should be easy enough, but apparently no one except me can pronounce my last name /happy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="^_^" border="0" alt="happy.gif" />. Hope this helps.

Capella: Ca-PEL-uh
Silkistija: Sil-kiss-TEE-uh

Even though my name isn't English, it shouldn't be hard to pronounce. Just remember that the R's are trilled (like in Spanish for example), and the pronounciation is pretty straightforward - I guess it's like Ar-DEE-tah. The last name is even easier, because you just read it out with trilled R, and that's all /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Post by **Rachel Cherokee** » Sun Dec 28, 2003 3:37 pm

Stella- As in Ella with an ST
St.- as in a saint
Clair- rhymes with hair, and chair

Post by **Natalia Rilian** » Mon Dec 29, 2003 4:47 am

My name is pronounced:

Natalia:
Na-Tal-Lee-Ya or Na-Tal-Ya

and Rilian:
Rill-Lee-Yan

I don't think it's too bad. Natalia is my real first name and people always misprounounce it by saying Natalie or Natasha and many, many other things too. /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />

I've been ask to do this not long ago...I guess my last name can be a little hard to get sometimes...

Elyranna as

El ---like in spanish El SeÃƒÂ±or or something
e ---- as in the letter E
Ran---- she ran a mile
ah----- as in: open up and say ahhhh.

so El-e-ran-ah

Reginhart

Red----as in the color red
Gin---as in Gin rummy or the liquor
Art--as in work of art

So here you go Red-Gin-Art

Originally Reginhart come from a germanic/french dialect name for Renard (fox)
There is a lot of variations of this name like Rheynard or Reginhard , Reinhard or Rheynard but the one I like the most ( and I should have took) is from Lord of the Rings: Reginard Took who is a distant cousin of Bilbo. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
