How Do You Pronounce Your Name?

Ariek Caniam · Post by **Ariek Caniam** » Sun Jul 11, 2004 1:15 am

Mine's not so hard once you try it out! I find it actually rolls off of the tongue, er, kinda.

Ariek Caniam. Are - EE - Ehk Can - EE- Am

The only thing people might have trouble remembering about it, is that Ariek doesn't begin with Air like in Ariel. I know, it's tempting, what with Little Mermaid flashbacks and all upon seeing the name.

James Chigusa · Post by **James Chigusa** » Sun Jul 11, 2004 9:02 pm

My name is pretty easy, well my last name is hard for those who don't know Japanese sounds, heres how it is:

James: (Jaym-s)

Chigusa: (Chee-goo-sah)

I have had a lot of people say Chigusa like:

Ch-ii-gus-ah

Chee-gsa (U's are silent sometimes in Japan like desu ka1. is pronouced dehs kah)

(1.) Desu Ka (dehs kah) The initial of ending a question in Japanese. The Japanese do not raise their voice at the end, and insted say desu ka. Ogenki desu ka? (How are you?)

Malien...Hmm, I like it! Very original!

Vri (V: as in 'van' R: as in 'rain' I: as in 'pin')
ni (N: as is 'nail' I: as is 'pin')
det (D: as in 'dime' E and T: pronounced 'ay')

In other words, it is pronouned 'Vri-ni-day'

Brinstrum is pronounced just the way it looks.

Post by **Rireoosol Softrain** » Mon Jul 12, 2004 3:42 pm

Well, I already posted the pronunciation in the "What in a name" post, but, I'm sure it would have done much better here.

Rireoosol Softrain does look rather ghastly as a name! /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Haha so many o's huh?

Here's how to pronounce it: "Ree-ray-oo-sol"
Ri: "Ree" - as in "read"
re: "ray" - as in "ray" (obviously)
oo: "oo" - such as the oo in "Google"
sol: "sol" - as in sold (minus the d) or sol, the spanish word for sun.

Softrain is pretty easy: "Soft-rain" just like words.

Post by **Emerys Merlin** » Mon Jul 12, 2004 4:02 pm

Em- "M"
er- rymes with were and pur
ys- "is"

Mer- as in mer people, rymes with pur and were
lin- rymes with sin, bin, and chin

Adessi Praetor · Post by **Adessi Praetor** » Mon Jul 12, 2004 4:52 pm

A - as in "uh";
dess - sounds like "dress," without the "r";
i - as in "ee";

Prae - as in "pray";
tor - sounds like "her," but with a "t" instead.

Not too hard, I hope. /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
