WoW Petopia Community

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.)

Korovae - Ko (like coco) Ro (row) vae (vay like vain)
Dianarra (my hardly used alt) Di(like die) a (ah) nar (like car) ra(rain)

Linesk: Lynn-esque
Liresk (the DK): Lyre-esque

I've heard Linesk pronounced the following ways:
Line-esque
Lines-kay
Link-see
Link-sis
Line-us (like the Charlie Brown character >.<)
Link
Lines-key
Lynn-ski

O.o

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.

For my user name it is

four-U-two-one-dr (for you to wonder)

for my Petopian names
Bitka Bit-ka
QuillThiliwt Quill-Thig-lie-wit
Saehi - Say-Hi

Ninja kitty bra!

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.

I've pronounced it as "Key-all-bee."

>.<

More alts!

Kieryon: "Keer (Rhymes with Seer) - Eee- On
Terania: Tear (Rhymes with mare) - Ahn- Eee- Ah

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.
Tosca is TAW-skuh.
Bsharpsonata is... B Sharp Sonata.
Zenyatta is zen-YAW-tuh.
Demshala is dem-SHAWL-uh
Sharpcat is... Sharp Cat.
Sweettalk...
Vongrimm...
Oximusprime..
But I will give you an irl spirit beast if you can PROPERLY pronounce Vertigineux. (Hint; the G is a J.)

My Petopians guild member is Agarina (AG-a-REE-nah).

Tudyk is TOOD-ick.

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

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
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*

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.

Tsiya - Tsee yah the t is short, sounds almost like "see ya", there's a sound byte of the pronunciation somewhere on a cherokee language site I can't seem to find atm.

Sukul'atae - Soo cool atay, troll, should have an apostrophe

Nitokris - Ni tah kris

let see here...

Siliverin - Sil-I-Ver-in ( also accepted and mostly everyone says it this way---> Silver-in OR Silly-Ver-in)
Starstrasza - Star-straZ-a ( s is silent)
Cyangosa - Cy- An-go-sa ( or Cy-An-go-za)
Voodoocat - Voo-doo-cat ( xP lol)
Killjoyy - Kill-Joyy ( again xP lol)
Sekhmett - "kh" is pronounced like the germans pronounce it ( Se-KH-mett) its hard for me to describe xD

Royi (Roy-eee) the I is pronounced like the EE in SQUEE
Jayse - Like Chase, or Mace
Emersyn (emer-sin)
Emme (Em-Me)

thats about all I can think of on Nesingway

I hate my characters name. Its Tardron (yes go ahead laugh) but i pronounce it as Tarjron just because it seems to flow better but oh how i hate random name generator now...

Araela = Uh-ray-lah
Araena = Uh-ray-nah
Anikah= Ah-nick-ah

I like A names for my hunters, apparently.

Other non-hunter characters:

Kaelana = Kay-lah-nah
Pikoe = Pea-koh
Tulie = Too-lee


One of my husband's toon:

Ploute = Plowt

Heh, you ever get "Hey Tard!"?

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