Post by **Luxie Wayton** » Wed Jul 31, 2002 3:30 am

LOL, I dont know why, but I feel like Im in elementary school, learning how to spell or something..... /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />

Anyways, my name is pretty simple:

LUX (rhymes with bucks)
IE (uh, sounds like the letter "E")

WAYTON (sounds like it looks)

Not too bad, huh?

I really shouldn't bother posting because mine's pretty obvious, but why not ?
Chi - pronounced Key
a - aa
ra - as in Ra the SunGod pronunciation
Clear enough!
And Quest is Kwest rhyming with Nest
Cheers,
Chiara

You pronounce my name Fred.

My name is straightforward enough, but since Willow hails from the Deep South, you should pronouce it like a true Southern belle.

Willow does not rhyme with "pillow". It rhymes with "hilla", as in "that don't make a hilla beans".

As for Laffengraff. "Laff" rhymes with "faff". Then there's the "en" which sounds like "in". Now this is where it gets tricky. You have to relax your jaw because "graff" has two syllables - "gra-yuff".

If you can't get it quite right, try putting on a hoop skirt and bonnet and watch Gone With the Wind several times.

Oh Rhe-yett!!

My name is Scottish.

Elph- "elf"
in- "N"
Stone- rhymes with "moan"

The last name is the clan name of my husband's family.

Bria Chevre

Bria = Bree-ah

Chevre = if you want to be all Frenchy about it, chevre is actually a type of French cheese pronounced Sheh-vvrr (it's hard to depict the -re endings online). If you don't care and just want to say the name, Shev-rey will do.

Mine is pretty easy, basically because it is a Japanese-ish name...

A-ah
Ma-(like.... "oh MA!")
Tsu-(sue.. LoL)

Ten-(10)
Rai-(Lye, but with a RRRROOOOLLLLLING R)

Rei = Ray (like the guys name)
chir = cheer
u = oooo (like when you see something really pretty and you go "oooo.....") lol

To = Toe (like the body part)

And there you go. Reichiru Tomoe

Well, I think mine's pretty straightforward, too, but I'll go ahead and sound it out.

O = "oh"
ri = "rye"
on = "uhn"

Ber = "burr"
nard = "nard"

There you have it.

Post by **Margaraeta Kexholm** » Fri Aug 23, 2002 3:42 pm

mar-gah-RAY-ta (NOT like the drink as in REE-ta)

Kex-Holm (pretty much the way it looks)

I am also commonly known as Rae, mainly because that is easier to type and being called Marge, isn't attractive and I look nothing like Marge Simpson. I mean my beehive hairdo is red, so you see, there is a difference. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
