Gertrudis is broken into 3 syllables:
Ger => the "ge" is a gutteral spanish "j" so it sounds like "hair" but with a rattle in the throat.
Tru => this is where the accent goes "true"
Dis => "dees"
GerTRUdis

Leheureux is broken into 2 syllables:
Leheu => "lay"
Reux => "roo" as in kangaroo, this is where the accent is
LeheuREUX

My name pronounciation will just get lost among the many, but I might as well clear up any silly little mispronounciations!

McManus, I trust, is not to difficult.
Mc as in the term some people use for us Irish, which is awfully sad. "Mick"
Man...man. Just man.
Us is us...again, not too hard.

Lyra sometimes causes problems, though, so I'd like to fix that.

Ly as is "lie"
ra as in "ruh"

I'd prefer not to be called "Lee-ruh" or "Lee-ray", as that isn't my name and makes me cry haha. Well, there you go, my dears, now you can say my name!

So my whole name would be pronounced as . .

Reinn as in "Re-ynn" (Reyinn with silent "i")
Duvall as in "Douf-All"

The names are both from German-Asian mix, so its kinda hard to say /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

Oh, it's a bit hard to write pronounciation in English /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> But I'll try:

EV is like EV in NEVER
RI is like REE
DI is like DEE
and
KI is like KEE, except the I is a little softer, because there is more emphasis on the DI part.

So it's something like EV-RI-DI-KI

Silverwing is pretty straight forward, I think.
