Re: How to Pronounce your Name

Unread post by **Tehau** » Thu Apr 23, 2009 11:22 pm

After a quick search on the words "pronounce" and "name" I figured this board might not have one of these lists.
I know there've been threads like this before, but not sure how updated (I remember one from 2006 lol).
We're getting into making videos and we wanted to know how to pronounce character names just in case the triplets mention them.

Here are ours:

Tehau=Tay-How
Nehau=Nay-How
Dehau=Day-How

Yeah, there was one on the old forum.

Angaroth -> Gree - bo.

I lie, of course (but maybe not forever).

Angaroth -> bang without the b + uh + wroth

Yar, old board link here. Which... uh... is only useful if you can log into the board >.>

ny-MAR-ay / n'mar-ay

Ny = like night, though "neh" like "never" works, and is more how I say it in my head, not really giving the y much of anything.

Mar = like mark.

Ay = like cake or ray (rei ... eh? eh) Hell, even "ee" like "eep" so it comes out "Nymari" will work.

think: Belore

Or, ONLY if you're Abric or Grainger: Nougat.

New-gat.

Just not Nigh-mare. Please, not Nigh-mare.

A-Quiz-It

Ack-wiz-it

Zy is like "eye" just with a z in front of it.

Malkaris is...

Mal (as in Mal-nutrition)
Karis (karis - pronounced the way it looks)

together...

Mal'karis, like saying two names together, not as one word where it sounds like, "Malkar is"

like...mal'ganis...but karis at the end *nod nod*
and no, that was not the inspiration for the name O.o

Athalia - Uh- Thall- yah

But Esmi goes by Esmi...

Which is simple enough I think.

Ah, how I remember the days of "Qwa-bee-in"

I prefer to believe it is irish, and since they can't spell it is pronounced shebeen. So Q is a drunkard for a reason.

Male - brig - nun

or, if you like, I'll also accept:

Mal-ay-breen-yawn

Like "filet mignon"

It's usually just "Brig", though.

Agrovale · Unread post by **Agrovale** » Fri Apr 24, 2009 1:30 pm

One would think the name Agrovale would be easy to pronounce. Alas Syreena has a tough time spelling the name let alone pronouncing it.

Ag-ro-vale.

Ag as in rAG
ro as in ROw
vale as in VALE

If you cannot pronounce this name then I suggest you sit down with the nearest toddler and watch Sesame Street for a good hour then come back and try pronouncing Agrovale again. If you fail again then you fail at life.
