Wow, this is the best topic EVER... It's perfect for me and my silly name. NO ONE can spell it right, and I doubt they can say it. So, here goes:

Astraea: Ahs-tray-ah (the r in the "tray" is kinda rolled, so it doesn't actually sound like "chray")

Candidus: Cahn-dee-doos (the d's have a very slight "th" after it.)

You know, I think the pronunciation guide has just made it more confusing... oh my.

The nice thing about having the HP Audio books is that Jim Dale pronounced everything the way it should be.

Her-My-Oh-Nee

Bow-Bah-Tons

Etc.

So I never have a problem pronouncing any of the stuff! *dances* /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

My name is a pain. Yes a pain. But I still love it. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Spelling: Moiraine Katsumi Lee

Moiraine is pronounced MWAH-rain (MWAH as in 'Moi' me in French) and Raine as in rain. Not MO-raine, My-raine, or anything. Moiraine. Simple? Nope. It's from the Wheel of Time Series.

Katsumi is simply Kat-sue-me. Kat as in cat and sumi as in 'sue me.'

Lee is simply Lee. No explaination required.

MWAH-rain Cat-sue-me Lee! /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

Mines pretty easy and I hardly even have to post here, but just in case some find it hard, it's MAH-rie th-EENS (Thenes rhymes with themes).

So there you have it!

The only name I ever really had trouble pronouncing was Voldemort (I pronounced it with the t), but I found a site with the audio pronunciation, so I know now that his name derives from French, therefore there is no t.

My name...well...I'm an Authurian Legend buff. The name is derived from one of my favorite character: Morgan le Fey.

Morgaine: mor-GAIN
Fey: exactly the way it sounds

I don't think I'll EVER get used to knuts being pronounced as k-newts. I just pronounced it nuts....

Well my name, JoAnna Drakon, isn't too terribly hard to understand.

JoAnna is easy enough, I would think. The capital 'A' should give you some indication that it's pronounced like two seperate names. Jo + Anna = JoAnna. Sort of like MaryAnne or something.

Drakon is a bit harder. The Dra is pronounced, draw, minus the 'w'. And -kon is... well it's sort of like conartist. So, simply, it's draw-con. Once again without the 'w.' JoAnna Drakon.

Now if you excuse me, I feel like I'm talking to a four year old.

Alright, here it goes... It's actually not [Lay-el], but [Lie-el]. Serene as in the word meaning "calm". Not too hard, is it? /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Slight change to my name: my middle name is no longer Galadriel (suddenly everyone and their dog is called Galadriel).

It is now Imbeiavasiel. So my new name would
be pronounced in this way:

Reh-lay-knee Im-bay-ah-vah-see-el Dahr-see.

You all have such beautiful names, by the way. I had no idea Layelle was Lie-el. ::blushes::

My name is pretty simple. But I might confuse you with how to REALLY pronounce it and how I pronounce it. Here it is:

How to really pronounce it:

Hay-Mo-Lay-Lay Hurl-ee

How I pronounce it:

He-Mo-Lay-Lay Hurl-ee

Now, just so everyone knows, Hemolele is Hawaiian for 'Pure'. /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

Hope that clears everthing up, bye!
