 phon-eh-ticks Hello guys!
It occurred to me when talking to my friend simon that we may all have different perceptions of what our weird-ass names sound like. So post your own phonetic interpretations of your own names here!
mine is Eye-van (as opposed to the spanish way which sounds like ee-van)
Muh-toney
But then I wonder if accents come into play...either way, it might help, maybe.

Re: phon-eh-ticks See, it's hard to do Annie because when you break it down (Ah-knee), the first syllable sounds more like an exclamation of understanding (Ah!) rather than how it should be.
Really, there's only one way to pronounce Annie, and it should be obvious. Heh.

Re: phon-eh-ticks Tristaanian - Trist-AH-ah-n-ee-ah-n, with an emphasis on the second syllable, but there are totally two A's in there.
Nauleth - Nawl-eth, like Paul, but with an N and an -eth at the end if you bother.
Eriyenna - Eh-ree-YEhn-na, with that blending of the two n's like bookkeeper.
Really, I have no idea how to write pronunciation. This is very phonetic. I probably made it even harder to pronounce than it was before.

Re: phon-eh-ticks I would say "ah!" as inexclamation would be "ar" (rather than "arr" which is clearly piratey.) It's a bit completely ad-hoc and there's probably a better way, but I don't know it.
EDIT: btw, that'd make you arnie, which is a whole different universe of awesome.

Re: phon-eh-ticks Mue Saraka
would be
Mu-ew (think of a cat's "mew" - note, also a play on her Osta-like style of moving and fighting)
Sah-rah-kah
(Random info!
- Mue is the female version of my online alter-ego "Muentai"
Which is pronounced as Moo-en-tie
- Senite is inspired by my brothers online alter-ego,
and is pronounced as Seh-night)

Re: phon-eh-ticks Good idea for a thread  I don't have many confusingly-named characters, so is anyone wondering about the pronunciation of certain Thorns terms? Anaxas = ah-NOX-us galdori = gahl-DORE-ie Brunnhold = BRUN-uld Anhau = ah-NOW (Anhai = ah-NAI) Any other ones?

Re: phon-eh-ticks Ah. I've been pronouncing Anaxas like the good Southern girl I am - An-NAX-as. I stand corrected.

Re: phon-eh-ticks Ed, I'd been pronouncing most of your character's names wrong =p
I thought of some more phonetics:
Mr. Ceres = SAIR-ees
Iale DuPont = yale d-PON
Ophelia Servalis = ser-VAHL-iss
Oxidus = OX-a-dus
Also for anyone who was curious about Stu and Ginny, their real names are Stuart Grey and Virginia Dair. (random trivia)
