My first-ever post here might as well be about my name...

AR-kam MAG-us, with a hard "G" (though I wouldn't be too upset if you soften the g to a "J" sound).

Looking forward to meeting my new classmates, too.

This is my first post as well. I am glad to be part of this forum.

Euphoria: (you-FOR-ee-aah) It is expected that 'Eu' should sound like 'Eww', but in fact 'You' is the correct way to pronounce it.

Skeffington: (SKEF-ee-ng-tin) The last name is a bit easier to pronouce. The 'g' is hard.

I do hope that this year goes by smoothly. ^^

Adriana Knight · Post by **Adriana Knight** » Mon Jul 05, 2004 8:34 pm

Mine isn't too hard ^-^

Adriana - Ah - dree (to rhyme with 'tree') - ah (again!) - na (A short na, like in 'sauna')

Knight - Night (easy as pie!)

Ah-dree-ah-na Night - Adriana Knight!
And there we have it ^-^

...bandwagon, you say? *Falls off it. Grumples and straightens, dusting off her robes.*

Ahn-ah-stah-see-ah, please - or Ana, if you prefer. I believe the Anglicized pronunciation is 'Ann-ah-stay-zha', but that's so...nasal and unpleasant-sounding.

And we all know how to pronounce 'Black' already, yes? *Haughty sniff. Grin.*

Phyllidia Brocklehurst · Wed Jul 07, 2004 2:36 am

Phyllidia - Fih-lid-ee-ah
Brocklehurst - Brock-ill-hurst

Easy as pie /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

My name is quite simple:

Jaenelle (Jay-nelle)
Morris (More-iss)

Post by **Prof. Hailey Potter** » Fri Jul 09, 2004 4:07 pm

Well, I've already explained mine once, but mine is

Hail- rhymes with "Sal" or even "towel"
ey pronounced like an "e'.... rhymes with "be" "Shmee" "lee" "Tee" We"; etc.

Evalyn Arasmiss · Post by **Evalyn Arasmiss** » Sat Jul 10, 2004 12:28 am

my name's not too hard, but for those of you that it is:
forget Evalyn- too long, Evie works (rhymes with stevie)
and as for arasmiss

Ar (rhymes with star)
as (well the naughty word sounds just like it just add another "s" sorry for that)
miss (I hope you know this) /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

by the way, if you know the name "Evelyn" mine's spelled different, but it's the same, blame my heritage and parents for that one.

Post by **Aphelia Starr** » Sat Jul 10, 2004 4:55 am

Ooo yay! Me next! Mine's none to difficult. At least I think so. It's my name. Aphelia Rochelle Starr.

Aphelia
A the sound the doctor tells you to make when s/he puts a stick on your tounge ("Just open your mouth and a 'ahh'")
phe same as "fee" or "bee" or "tree"
li pronounced "lee", rhymes with above
a exactly the same as the "a" above

This makes Ah-fee-lee-ah

Rochelle

Roch pronounced "rosh"
elle pronounced like the letter "L" (and for those of you who know French, it's obviously the same as "elle" meaning "she")

So... Rosh-L

Starr

Starr rhymes with "star". Go figure

All together Ah-fee-lee-ah Rosh-L Star

To save you all this trouble (lol) just call me Lei (pronounced "lee")

Goodness, that's too much work for one little name.

Lets see if I can pronounce my name, who knows I might not be able to do so...

Jervous - Prononced: Jer-vus
Roach - Prononced: Row-ch

And if you didn't guess by now, that is how you say my name [Jervous Roach]

Mine is the french way!

If you can't pronounce mine...well. Let's not go there. Professors are watching. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Uh-roar-ah Summers-set

Ami Silentio · Post by **Ami Silentio** » Sat Jul 10, 2004 8:07 am

Ami Silentio.

Ami does not sound like Amy...it's pronounced more latin, so it's AH-mee.

And Silentio is sill-en-TEE-oh. Sill, like a window sill, en like in "hen".

AH-mee sill-en-TEE-oh

/happy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="^_^" border="0" alt="happy.gif" /> Odd, but not too complicated.

Wait, the french way? What if we don't know what the french way is? Like me! I know the latin way to pronounce things...but that's about it beyond english!
