name pronouncing

[Chavie]

i am not yet done with forum trolling!

how do you pronounce your character's name? i would like to know in case chavie ever meets you, so that i can be sure she says it right.

[Niethan]

I always thought of it as Nee-eht-an, but the popular concensus seems to be Neeth-ehn.

[Nadea]

I'd like to think that Nadea's name is pretty self explainitory...though I have heard people call me "Nay-Dee-Ahh" on Vent before >.>

Anywho, its "Nah-Dee-Ah". Pretty easy, no? =D

[Noury]

Well, its prunounced " Noo ree" , but you may call me BUR...

[Chavie]

chavie's name has been pronounced "chave" (rhymes with shave) and shavee. it is truly "cha" is in "chat" and "vie" for "vendetta". but she pronounces it "cha" as in "cha-cha" because she is funny that way.

[Nadea]

Like "Wilma", but with a Russian accent.

....so your name was Wilmah originally, but then the Dranei tried to pronouce it? >=D

[Teelia]

Teelia = Tee-Lee-a.

[Vilmah]

Like "Wilma", but with a Russian accent.

....so your name was Wilmah originally, but then the Dranei tried to pronouce it? >=D

Stupid Draenai!! ><

Hehehe... I should sooo call my Draenei " Wiktor "

[Rajjah]

Rajjah is pronounced Rah-jah, Taurment is pronounced Taur-ment.

[Teelia]

ZOMG Nouri! Maybe on his starship, your Draenei was Chekov!!!!

[Vilmah]

ZOMG Nouri! Maybe on his starship, your Draenei was Chekov!!!!

Nuclear Wessels, anyone?

[Teelia]

We should all play a group of Draenei, since they are russian, and start a guild called Red Oktober.

[Vilmah]

*groan...!*

Mortica's doing a Draenai guild. I'm hoping she'll let my happy ass in.

[Malebrignon]

Male - BRIG - non (non = like nonsensical. not like "nun")

I try to inform people that the shortened form is 'Brig (or Cyrus or Braeg, ha!) but most keep calling him Male for short. They get added to the "people to kill" list.

......

Half my guild is on the list....

[Phia]

Not sure if my name really merits help with pronounciation, but for the sake of participation:

Sophia "Phia" Proost (FEE-ya PRU-st)
Undead rogue, mercenary, failed pirate.

My alt:

Doolap (DOOOOOOOOOOO-lap)
Troll shaman and motivational speaker.

[Keraph]

Care Aff

Pretty simple.

[Nadea]

Care Aff

Pretty simple.

or Carebear =D

[Yichimet]

Yih Chee Met or Yih Chih Met. Either way, you've had it right already, cha vi!

[Teelia]

Care Aff

Pretty simple.

or Carebear =D

PWN3D

[Nadea]

Care Aff

Pretty simple.

or Carebear =D

PWN3D

Oh yeah, I'm dead when that boy gets home *evil grin*

[Grayslin]

Probably not hard to figure out, but for consistency's sake

Sylennis = Sill-INN-iss

Vrym = Like 'Brim' but with a 'v'

Thorgild = THOR-Guild (:P)

Anysius = Uhh-knee-SEE-us (She prefers 'Neese' for short)

[Angawen]

Ang-a-wen rhymes with Tang and pin. But most should just call her Angie. Not Anga, Angie.

I do have a RL friend who pronounced it Anga-wen, rhymes with Manja or well, with a "J" sound instead of a "G" sound. But I pronounce it the other way mysef. With a scottish accent. So just call me Ahhhn-Geeeeh!

[Lelenia]

Le-Le-Nee-Uh...but it's so *funny* listening to people on Vent try.

[Chingaso]

"Chingaso" pronounce Air-Oh-Gunt-Ay-Hole.

:P :twisted:

[Vilmah]

"Chingaso" pronounce Air-Oh-Gunt-Ay-Hole.

:P :twisted:

I thought it was pronounced "bihg-bwuh-da-ching-ee" ?

[Karkarov]

Dimitri Karkarov

Car-KAH-roV

Caps where the most inflection should be used.

His first name which he doesnt use much is pronounced:

Dim-E-tree

And roleplay wise he also speaks with a russian accent....... But he isnt a Draenei!

[Mortica]

Mortica's doing a Draenai guild. I'm hoping she'll let my happy ass in.

But of course, comrade. It will only cost you 20 rubles!

err gold pieces,

errr...

in the future we will no longer need money!



viva la star trek!



oh, and mortica is pronounced


more - tah - kuh

or

more - tih - kuh is ok too.

[Vilmah]

viva la star trek!


Damned straight!!

[Leyujin]

LEY-yoo-jin. As jin is an honorific, my birth name was simply Leyu.

[Chingaso]

"Chingaso" pronounce Air-Oh-Gunt-Ay-Hole.

:P :twisted:
I thought it was pronounced "bihg-bwuh-da-ching-ee" ?
That'll work. :wink:

[Vilmah]

LEY-yoo-jin. As jin is an honorific, my birth name was simply Leyu.

Honorific you say? Could you explain? One of my guild officers is No-JIN-bu.

[Leyujin]

Jin is an honorific following a troll's name which signifies him to be a tribal chief or elder. I've also heard it meaning witch doctor. Vol'jin, Sen'jin, and most famously, Zul'jin, are all representatives of this. (Source (http://www.wowwiki.com/Zuljin))

I think Nojinbu is basing his name on the japanese? Either way, it works well. Jin does not always follow a troll's name, such as Jin'do the Hexxar. I haven't read any proper lore reasons for this, but it backs up my having heard Jin as signifiying witch doctor as well.

[Vilmah]

No, that works out fine! Nojinbu was the chief of his village! Hah, and he didn't even know the lore! lol

[Huffy]

Pronounced just like my wife said: “Huffffeeeeeee, what the hell is that, Grumpy’s brother?”

[Vuudu]

Voo - doo. :)

She's also been known as "Da Vuudu" for obvious reasons, but recently changed it to "Vuudu Dragonscar" for less obvious ones. Those of you who know Vuudu's backstory know that "Vuudu" was her father's nickname for her, after the other parents in the village told their kids to stay away from her, for she was a troublemaker. Stay away from Da Vuudu. :)

Her real name is know to only one other person in game.

[Gorthok]

Tha-naa-t-os

[Laron]

Laron
- La Ron (sounds french)

Arzrid
- Az Rid (sounds arabian)

Amadare
- Ama Da Re (Japanese for raindrop.)

[Gavril]

Wait, the draenei are Russian? That's mildly obnoxious. Considering Caer Darrow has said Russian motif...

anyway. Gavril... Gav-reel. as opposed to Gav-rihl. Stress on the i. Also Russian. Patronymic, Nikolayevich, no surname. as "Gavril Ganya Nikolayevich" is long enough and I'm too bored to come up with a family name. XP

[EnheilRas]

Lor-Dan-Save-Your

[Emmons]

Em-uns

Not Ee-mons as some certain feral druids like to pronounce it.

[Cedes]

say-dee's?
seeds?
seds?

no....


See-Dee's!

SEE-EEEE-DEEE-EEE-ESSSSSS.....!!!!!!

[Chavie]

*wades through spam*


LEY-yoo-jin. As jin is an honorific, my birth name was simply Leyu.

i am unclear about this. "ley" is pronounced "lay" or "lee"?

[Shadowspeak]

it is SHADOW-SPEAK

not SHADOWS-PEAK

Shadows-peak is so lame.

[Teelia]

it is SHADOW-SPEAK

not SHADOWS-PEAK

Shadows-peak is so lame.

Not to be confused with Shadow's Peaks. I never did find out who killed Laura Palmer. Was it the gnome, Or Varimathras? Don't keep me waitin'!!!!

[Laron]

With as much as you like to use you mind control to talk, how would anyone mistake that?
/salute

[Garbhan]

Garbhan =Gar-VAHN

Eibhe = EVE

See how the gaelic names work? bh = v sound =P

[EnheilRas]

I thought my answer was clever.

Damn you all~!

It's okay. We forgive you. :D

[Shadowspeak]

Don't think so.

Heh, sorry, thought there wouldn't be any confusion. Ley as in lay... or more like ley as in leyline!

And yes gaelic is insane. I know someone named Caoimhe, and I think that's pronounced Queva? Been a long time, so I've forgotten =/.

[Marroc]

Marroc is pronounced "Mah-Rok" although everyone pronounces it "MaR-rok" or "Mar-ick" dunno why >_< I mean the first one is usually fine by me because the spelling of my name doesn't really hint at emphasis, but honestly there is no 'i' in my name at all... stop putting it there people :P

My blood elf is going to be called Feydrian, which is pronounced "Fhey-Dree-an"

[Daala]

Dahl-la

Mine was cleverer, sooner... :P :twisted:

TWIN PEAKS! I thought her father killed her. I watched every single episode, but like, I'm old and forget things.

Danlily, um Dan-LILY
Danyx is FRAH-licks, oh wait, DAN-icks, yea, that's it.

[Sinthe]

Skies.

Skyze.

Sky. Plural.

Not hard.

[Rasta]

SUM-wun seht us uhp de BAHM

har dee har.

anyway, yeah, I used to think my name was self-explanatory, until I started using vent more frequently. seeing as I'm texan, it should be pronounced RASS-tuh, like fast-uh; not ROSS-tuh, like pasta. I know technically it should be the latter, but... meh. and then, of course, FAR-ee-inn.

[Chingaso]

SUM-wun seht us uhp de BAHM
If I looking for Orc

Him name is Chingaso green Orc

I lost my Orc

Love, Terry

P.S. I'll find my Orc

Who took my Orc

[Zulizashazua]

Zulizashazua Ogouran.

Zoo-lee... err...

Zoo-lee-za.... :?

Zoo-lee is oh so easier!

( By the way it's Zoo-lee-zah-shah-swa )

[Marroc]

Zulizashazua Ogouran.

Zoo-lee... err...

Zoo-lee is oh so easier!

( By the way it's Zoo-lee-zah-shah-swa )

God, me thinks that name hit the character limit when you made it >_<

[Fhenrir]

My name is tricky.

See, the F and first R are silent. The E is pronounced "Ah", and the first R is pronounced more like "Dee". The I is also pronounced "ee".

So everyone who ever called me "Fenrir" like the Final Fantasy Summon is completely wrong, and fails at life. It's really easy to see the correct pronounciation if you look at it carefully.

I'd be more tempted to call you "Fenrir" like the son of Loki from Norse Mythology. Also called "Fenris." So I'm just gonna call you "Fenris" from now on.

Ya - I think Norse mythology before I think Final Fantasy.

Hmm, perhaps I should rename my rogue Gleipnir and then go sap Fhenrir repeatedly...

what?

[Kazthul]

Kazthul: 'Kaz' because well, Me be Kaz.

Maudib: 'Sha-doe-man' Believe it or not, its pronounced nothing like its spelled, strange huh. Some people think its pronounced, "Mu-ahh-deeb" or "Mu-ahh-dib" like rib. This is wrong.

[Shadowspeak]

Fhenrir, I'm lost in how to pronounce your name...

[Abric]

Ah-Brick

[Fhenrir]

I'd be more tempted to call you "Fenrir" like the son of Loki from Norse Mythology. Also called "Fenris."

I was gonna say that, but I always forget where exactly it came from. I don't like getting History/Myth/etc wrong, so if I don't know it I usually don't say it.


Also, my post was a joke for anyone who didn't get it. I was just trying to confuse the hell out of people.

[Tarlithion]

I know, Wolfie. Don't worry too much about it, just keep gnawing on Tyr's hand.

Ha. ha. That's funny.

Sooo.. pronounced.. Handeer. I'm guessing.. :roll:

whatever...you cant change the way you say the name of a mythical wlf creature silly....CANT MAKE UP YOUR OWN RULES :twisted:


face the facts fen'-rir! your a giant wolf who killed Odin....now your a heffer is WoW causing havoc around every corner because you added an "H" and its silent, causing your name to be rendered in such a way that is isnt Fenrir anymore....O.o....???????????

EDIT: i say you keep it to the original Norse mythical name. I mean, to be named after the very beast that slayed Odin in the battle of Ragnoroke is pretty cool....Ah'Dee-ee isnt a cool way to say Fhenrir....nope nope nope :(

[Fhenrir]
