How do You Pronounce Your Name?
How do You Pronounce Your Name?
The proper "My Way" Way: Ay (As in Way)-Zoo-Nahr (As in 'rawr')-Ah
Other versions: Ah-Zoo-Nahr-Ah
So they tend to make it a short 'a' instead of a long 'a' as I imagine it.
Or take my lock's name: Ray-Vehn-Ear-Ah is how you pronounce it.
So yeah. Just a little thread to get you thinking. Something like that. That, and I feel bad when I mangle someone's name, so I want to see how they do it. >.<

I'm not sure if Vephriel is self-explanatory or not, but in case it isn't it's pronounced veff-ree-elle.

Huh. Seems like I'm guilty of pronouncing Azu's name the "Other" way.

A sound that is not used in the english language.
Re: How do You Pronounce Your Name?
I've had guildies in vent use the latter more often. And I'm too nervous to say the other way. My friend and occasionally my dad will use the "Incorrect" way frequently as well. So yeah. Feel free to use either way, I really don't mind. I just find the long 'a' as the 'real' version in my mind.

Re: How do You Pronounce Your Name?
Aoani: Ah-oh-Aah-ni edit: now that I think about it, I think I actually pronounce it more like Ao-Aah-ni, with the Ao sounding kind of like the vowel sound in 'ouch' or 'ow'
Iladra: Ih-LAD-rah (Ih sounds kinda like when you just tamed a rare spawn beast and go eeeeeeeeeeh, that vowel sound there)
Much gratitude to Spiritbinder for the signature and Vephriel for the avatar! <3

Phianth, my Shaman name (across all servers): Fi (as in eye)- anth (like ant, only with a soft 'th' instead of a hard 't')
Galador One of my Druid names: Gall-ah-door
Galadone, my other druid name: Gall-ah-d-own. (as in the word own with a D in front of it.)
Evin, DK name: Pretty much how it's spelled: Eh-vin
That's all of them I can think of for now.
