...our Displayed Names? I was just wondering. When I read your names, I come up with my own way to pronounce it. But how are they really meant to be pronounced? Here's mine: Archmagi Micael ARCH-MAY-GEE ME-KALE I look forwards to seeing how you pronounce yours! - Archmagi Micael -------------------- "You dare Trifle with Exile?" - Erika the Archmage -------------------- My Scenarios: Undead Valley : A small Undead problem, what could possibly go wrong? -------------------- Proof of Richard Black's existance: Richard Black - PROOF of his existance (the Infernal one's website).

Split "Stughalf" up into "Stug" and "Half" and pronounce each phonetically according to American English, and you should be fine. I've found that people tend to see the name as pseudo-German and pronounce it as such. I believe when I posted a recording of my voice in a thread a few months ago many people were surprised at the pronunciation. As for the shortened version "Stugie," it's pronounced stoo-jee. It's my favorite of the short versions, but Stug or Stuggy/Stuggie also work fine. -------------------- Stughalf "Delusion arises from anger. The mind is bewildered by delusion.

I'll take this moment to remind you that Kelandon is stressed on the second syllable, kel-LAN-don, as if one took the name Landon and stuck a "kel" on the front of it. It is most definitely NOT stressed on the first syllable, as that would muck up the vowels in the rest of the word. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

I should indeed think the L would be silent. Otherwise you'd be Smoked Salman, and while the Ayatollah might like that I don't think you would. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

It's Mar (Like sea in spanish,) next to the name Lenny, Pretty simple Mar Lenny. Ps. That's Mar with a "R", most people forget about the "R" and pronounce my name: Malenny. Posts: 1035 | Registered: Friday, April 1 2005 08:00 |

Mine is pronounced "IK shee" with the emphasis on the "IK." This is a shortening of the full name Icshicoath, which is pronounced "ik shih KOE ath" with the emphasis on "KOE." This topic reminds me of some of the upperclass English surnames that are so messed up it's impossible to guess how they're pronounced—you either know how to say them, or you don't. Featherstonehaugh being pronounced "Fanshaw" for instance. (An exaggerated example created by P.G. Wodehouse, unless I'm much mistaken, but there are some reason English surnames that are about that bad!) -------------------- The A.E. van Vogt Information Site My Tribute to the Greatest Writer of the Science Fiction Golden Age Posts: 907 | Registered: Monday, July 15 2002 07:00 |
