How Do You Pronounce Your Name?

Post by **Malacai Micheals** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 9:06 pm

Let's see where to begin oh yes we should begin at the begin i think.
Now how exactly do you pronounce the name Malacai you may be wondering? Well the answer is quite simple really. Here let me explain.

the first part Mal is prounounced exactly as in the female name Mallory.
the Second part A is prounounced as the A in father.
the last part is a bit trickey the c is a hard k as in kite and the ai is pronounced as I as night.

My surname however should be no mystery to most english speaking members of the wizarding community. hope this helps.

Mine is actually more simple than I make it seem.

Arraine is actually just another spelling for "Erin."

And Leigh is just the female spelling of "Lee."

Have had many different people pronounce it different ways, but the way it is intended:

lōō-ksē-ən dě-nō-răk

But I've heard people pronounce it lōō-shē-ən (similar to Lucius)
One particularly common mispronunciation, lŭ-ksē-ən, gives rise to my nickname - Luxy (lŭ-ksē)

ōō - boot
ē - bee
ə - circus
ě - pet
ō - toe
ă - pat
ŭ - cut

Well, Stella is pretty easy to pronounce. It's just like Stell-(short)a. So STELL-a. If you wanted to get technical.

Noge is a bit different. It is pronounced how it looks. NO is the first part, and then there is a hard g, like a guh kind of sound. It's hard to show the sound on the computer. Hmm... an example of the "g" sound I'm trying to get at.. It's like the "ju" in just. So when you put it all together you get STELL-a NO-juh.

It's as simple as that =3

a is pronounced 'uh'.

vis is pronounced...um... well, it rhymes with kiss.

My surname, Dolan, is pretty simple:

Post by **Sycyla Rose** » Sun Jan 07, 2007 9:40 am

Sy- sounds like Su
cy- sunds like the ky in sky.
la- is a short a if you have any idea what means. so it does not sound like lar it's just la.

so it sounds like this

Su-ky-la (don't stress the a)

And Rose is pretty self explanitory it's the same as the flower. /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
