ju like the ju in jug

osh like in gosh

core like in well... core

tos like the toas in toast

ju-osh core-tos (Josh Kortos)

i think that at least my first name is easy to pronounce especially in you live in the us because that's a really common name but the kortos part is kind of hard unless i actually say it.

Mitsukai = MITT-sue-kigh (like "high")

I think mine is fairly easy, but there's always the question of emphasis and long and short vowels, I suppose.

Kar = kair (rhymes with hair)
a = uh
lin = lin (rhymes with in)

Mc = muck (spoken quickly, almost like the 'u' isn't there)
Kay= kay (rhymes with hay)

KAIR-uh-lin Muck-KAY

Hey Everyone!

Well, I didn't think that my name was hard to pronounce, but after I found out some one *cough*Sev*cough* couldn't pronounce it, I decided to post here.

My name is Belle Rain.
Belle is pronounced like Bell, "DING DING There's the bell!" (like "Belle" in Beauty and the Beast)
Rain is pronounced like the falling rain on a rainy day in may /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />.

Ok! I'm done /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />.

I've found out from experience that my name's not exactly the easiest one to pronounce; perhaps because it's norse. Therefore I shall offer you some assistance.

Hope that gives you some clarity on the matter.

Nocturna: Think Knockturn Alley /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
Nok (like the English "knock") turn (like the English "turn") uh
Nok-turn-uh

Grenemearh: This is just a guess based on VERY limited study of Old English pronunciation.
Gren (rhymes with English "men") mare (just like the English "mare").

Lew-do At-rik-o.

Easy enough. I've used this name for nearly 5 years, so I'm used to people miss-spelling and miss-pronouncing. =]

Well... My name is April Marsters. So this is how you pronounce my name.
April as in the month of April, and Marsters as in Mar + stirs.
Just like that!

Portia sounds somewhat like "porsh-ya". Delphine is hardly ever mispronounced, it's "dell feen-ay".
Not too hard, and it's much easier to go from reading to pronounciation than vice-versa. /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
