mine is Japanese-influenced, so:

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.

I'll only do my confusing names since the others names are really easy to pronounce.

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. :lol:

Asliasa - As-Lee-As-A (or Uh, if you prefer. I'm not picky)
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.

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.
AKA Nazthandol, in <Petopians> (US)

I always said coh-ZEEN, until an old raid leader called me COE-zeen. I liked that better, but either is fine. She's usually Cozz anyway.

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).

Kaybajip - kay - bah - jip

My mage's Ciasteczko, That's tsyah-stech-koh. Means "cookie".
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.

Heh, you ever get "Hey Tard!"?

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