RE: How do you SAY your name? - Sundraoi - 12-13-2014
This would have been great before the reset when I played Siucre, pronounced Shu-crah. I think all my PCs currently have easily pronounced names.
I like this idea though. It does help to 'hear' how the name should be said. :)

Sila - Is pronounced as Sela
This is actually quite useful for those of us with characters intent on butchering the english language er... "Common" tongue so we can try to spell our butchering properly.
Shea Lendetta- Sh-A-ah Len-dah-tah (or alternatively "day" instead of "dah" depending on if she's drunk or not, "Sh-A" to be pronounced like Shea butter, Len pronounced like the len in lens or cleanse)
Milli Ashford- (at least how she pronounces it) Mill-leh Ah-shuh-fuhd (Mild pronunciation of the r like you would if impersonating someone from Boston, y'know, 'pahk the cah in the yahd' Kennedy)
Hargrim Morcral- Har-grr-eeem (har like har de har har, eem like gleam or ream) Moh-or-cr-ol (like the ol in old)
EDIT: Oh right...
Izkliel 'Harold' Assad- Ee-zee-klii-el (klii pronounced like clea in clean, zee pronounced quickly) 'Hair-old' Ah-ss-ahd (like how you'd pronounce Assad in Bashar al-Assad)

You forgot the all-caps stressy bits. :P
You will use your phoenetics and you will like them. Ain't no one got time for that IPA moonspeak. :P
Sorry. I meant "CORE-EEN-A VER-SING-ET-OR-ICKS"

Korina must be one stressed-out individual. :P
RE: How do you SAY your name? - MoreThanThree - 12-14-2014
Korina's life is pretty angry and stressful, yes.
RE: How do you SAY your name? - Wids - 12-14-2014
Meanwhile, Corella just drove the bid on Sila up two grand, just to get her own personal ballad-writer, propaganda dispenser and trusty sidekick.
...or was it just to help Korina out, quid pro quo?
Either way, Leirans are good for relieving anger and stress. Proven fact. ;)

Djed refuses to offer assistance in saying his name and expects to be called Deathdealer as in deth-deeler.

Just 'deth-deeler'? Not "The" deth-deeler? ;)

I just pronounce it "Jed" like "Jedi" or "Shed"
