Sukurachi
S'k'RAH-tchee
the "U"s are more or less silent, accent on the "rah"
for some reason, my Druid seems to give people trouble pronouncing.
Tlaloc:
T-LAH-lock
think of the word atlas, then remove the initial "A", the final "S", and add "lock" at the end.
Dunno why, seems it's a hard one to pronounce.
I have too many toons to list all their pronunciations.
Most have French-influenced names (magicienne, traitresse, etc... though I tend to abbreviate Magicienne's name to a straight forward English "Maggie", even if the "G" is NOT pronounced hard as in English.)
A bit of palindromic wisdom:
"Step on no pets!"
Casual player.. don't raid, don't PvP. Suffer from extreme altitis
I love pets - combat or non.

Alliance:
Giordana - geor (like you're about to say the name George) - donna
Jobiensis - jo-bee-en-sis
Philyra - fi-lie-ra
Horde
Rexiah - Rex-e-ah
I think that's all of them.

Lines-kay
Link-see
Link-sis
Line-us (like the Charlie Brown character >.<)
Link
Lines-key
Lynn-ski

Akiralios - A-Kira-Lee-o-ss (That last part is tricky. It's an O sound and a ss, almost a hiss at the end )
Cosis- Co-sis (Easy one!)
Iocha - Ee-o-ka (So many different ways for people to say this one! Rawr! )
Barhija - Bar-he-ja (Not Bra dang it. )
I have more, but those are the ones I play the most.

Oh, clever; never realized that one.Foru21dr wrote:For my user name it is

Anyways,
Cialbi: See-al-bee (alt: See-all-bee)
Aquiyand: Ah-kwee-and
Fellandesh: Fey-on-desh ('desh' pronounced like 'mesh')
Fellandesh is a sin'dorei warlock on Silver Hand that is probably getting moody over being ignored for long stretches of time. Maybe that explains why he's so sadistic.
Cute doesn't need an explanation.

Spinne is SHPIN-uh (German for spider). But I gave up now that we're not using vent and everybody just calls me "Spine."

Re: How do You Pronounce Your Name?
I'm not sure what I'd do with an irl spirit beast, but I'd have thought it'd be pronounced something like "VER-ti-ji-NUH" (i.e. a typical French -eux).Cozzene wrote:But I will give you an irl spirit beast if you can PROPERLY pronounce Vertigineux. (Hint; the G is a J.)

Pticrea - ti-cree-ah
Dizzoup - dizz - oup (as in soup)
they're probably my most mispronouced. pretty much all my others people seem to get on with ok. A lot of people tend to say Dizzoup as dizz-ow-up... really can't see how but *shrug*

Re: How do You Pronounce Your Name?
My hunter's Pralinka. That's prah-leen-kah. Means "praline".
My druid's Cukierasek. That's tsoo-kyer-ah-sec. Means "candy".
My warlock's Bombonierka. that's Bomb-oh-nyer-kah. Means "box of chocolates".
And my shaman's Marcepanka. That's mahr-tseh-pan-kah. Means "marzipan girl"
They're all names in Polish. And yeah, I looooove sweets. I'm missing a chocolate, however.

Maybe spending 10 bucks to change the name wouldn't be a bad idea
