How Do You Pronounce Your Name?

Post by **Regina Silverthread** » Sun Jul 24, 2005 9:24 pm

Regina Silverthread

Re is pronounced reh
Gi sounds like gee
Na could be a nah

Sil is zeel
Ver is like var
Thread sounds really like Thradd. (Remember to stess the d)

So...
Regina Silverthread --> Reh-gee-nah Zeel-var-thradd

Aphrodite is pronounced Aphro-die-tee and Griffinclaw is pronounced...er....Griffinclaw.

My name's pronounced

Sirena - NOT Serena! 'Ren' as in 'Pen' the first and last syllables ('si' and 'na') are pronounced as they are in the name Serena.

My last name - Serephina is pronounced 'Se - ra - phina'

Well my name's pretty straight forward:

Karina Adams

Kar - say like lower case 'c', as if you were starting to say 'car' then stop after the c

Ina - say like e-na (or ee-ner)

Adams - self explanatory /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />

EFF - pronounced like the letter F

TON - as in tin

Hrm, I thought I'd replied here, but evidently not...

I know my name has been most enjoyably mispronounced by most of HOL for over two years now, but here is how it's done:

Ceit: As you'd pronounce the name 'Kate' - Kay-t (NOT 'Seat' /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />)

Uiseag: oo-shic (NOT Whee-sig!)

Both first and last names are Scottish Gaelic, that being the language of my homeland, and while 'Ceit' just means 'Kate', 'Uiseag' means 'skylark', which I rather like /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

If it's not easy enough to pronounce....

Elle-uh-nore Chame-burrs

Heh. Yeah. Or just Ella, I like that better.

Euvira Samara:

U-vi (rhymes with pie) â€“ ruh
Suh-mar (rhymes with car) -uh

Tah- as in 'ta ta!"
lah- as in "the la you sing"

Wihl-as in "if there's a will..."
lohw- "the opposite of high"
fohx- "the furry creature"

That seems more like a puzzle than anything!

nair-ah-more-A

Post by **Koharu Kun** » Tue Aug 02, 2005 7:58 am

Mine's not too hard....

ko - rhymes with doe
ha - rhymes with la, or rah
ru - the 'r' is a japanese 'r', so it's sort of inbetween an 'r' and an 'l' (it rolls off the tounge), and the 'u' is like in 'ooooh' (when said, it almost sounds like 'do')

kun - rhymes with done

So, Ko-ha-roo Kun

Errrrmmmm, nobody really knows me here yet, but I guess I'll do this anyways.

De : Like "day".
Ja : Like awe, but not like jaw, the j is almost a shhhh sound...But not...

In : Like in as in...in, fin, and gin.
fin : Uh...fin...like the thingies on fishies.
i : Like the i in it, ick, or imp.
tum : As in tummy, andt the things you eat when your tummy hurts that are called Tums.

Day-shaw...but not quite "sh". In-fin-i-tum...
Yeah. Think I got that right...I guess you could say Deja like Day-shuh...like in "Uhhhhh, cool."

... /huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh:" border="0" alt="huh.gif" />

Yeah, I think I just managed to make my name ten times more difficult than it actually is. -blink-
