- Location: Hufflepuff... I doubt I'm sorted into the right house...
and my name would be spelled like...
Vin as in fin (fish fin)
cent as in 1 cent
Ro as in row
sen as in sensitive
kre as in crow
uz as in is
my last name is a german name, hence the spelling ^^;

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
Besos de Valencia (Spain)

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!

I'm not sure if I'm even pronouncing this right, but I pronounce it like this:
e-roo-el
Riddle- I think we all know how to pronounce this.

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.
