Ok, so how do you pronounce your name?

[LyraDragonStar]

I know there are some odd names (MW usernames) out here, and some of them are hard to pronounce. Usually, only the owner knows exactly how it should be said. So, to lessen anymore confusion, how about you tell us how you say your MW name! If you're new, just c'mon in and tell us so we all get it right from the beginning! (That's why I put this here.)

Mines Lyra Dragon Star

You can call me Lyra

I say my name like this: Lie-ruh ...and I'm not going to tell you how to say 'Dragon' or 'Star' because those are some pretty simple words. So put it all together and you have my name! :kooky:

[Willow Rosette]

Good one Lyra. I have wondered that my self. Mine is simple Visha is said veesha and well mommy is plain and simple.

[~Anamorata~]

A-na-mor-ra-ta...pretty simple, really...the 'a' at the beginning, is pronounced, like 'open up and say ahhhhh!'

By the way, I love your name, Lyra! :uhhuhuh:

[Brenda]

Mine's just Bren-da, with a rolling rrrrrrrrr :lol: almost impossible to pronounce for people whose native language is english :lol:

[Shanti]

Shanti.....shawn-tae :)

[Infinite Grey]

If you can't pronounce my name then you are beyond my help :shaker:

[misschief]

uh, i think the pronounciation of mine is fairly simple... if you've not gotten it. ... i'm sorry :lol:

[eala]

I suppose people may think mine is't simple. It isn't English, so I shall break it down, though I am still bad at translitteration.

ea --- as in the a in apple. It isn't nasal, though.
l --- press your tongue against your top row of teeth and move it straight back while saying the l sound.
a -- as in about but more a and less u in the sound.

'tis Gaeilge for swan. A rather strangely common user-name XD

[Pagan Mantis]

I'm hoping Pagan Mantis is simple enough!

[Ziana]

Ziana is pronounced Z as it sounds in Zipper, long I and then the name anna only with one n. Ziana

[Lunacie]

Shanti.....shawn-tae :)

Cool. I've been thinking it as shan - tee, like a small hut. I was picturing a small fairy house built inside a mushroom that was called a shanty. :lol:

I like shawn-tae much better, which syllable is accented?



Mine is pronounced ... loo - nah - see.

[misty]

uh, i think the pronounciation of mine is fairly simple... if you've not gotten it. ... i'm sorry :lol:


LOL! Same for mine :)

[taijiya]

taijiya = tie-jee-yah, with the syllables more or less equally stressed.




~*~taijiya~*~

[Tzhebee]

Interesting...before last week, I do not ever remember seeing the name Lyra. But last week a new gal intro'd herself to my guild...her name's Lyra. Funny little conincidences.

Oh, and Tzhebee. Tuh (very very soft) zhe (like she, with a z) bee (the letter, or buzzy little bug).

[Gwenhwyfar]

Gwen-uh-far...but Gwen does fine. :)

edited to add....guess my welsh is not so good, a nice person just pmed me that its actually pronounced gwen-hoo-ee-var accented on the 'gwen' and very quick through the wy dipthong...which is very kool, so thanx for letting me know!

Gwen is so much easier. lol

[Karma Chameleon]

If you can't pronounce my name then you are beyond my help :shaker:

Ant / Boo
but the next part is the tricky part:
Piss/ Frog

because I want everyone to say the peace part with a bad European accent, because I think it's FUNNY!!! lmao

[Shanti]

I use to have the pronounciation and meaning in my sig. Maybe I'll put that info back? ~thinks~

[Meadhbh]

Its Mayv meaning of course "intoxicating" or "she who makes men drunk"

[Jenne]

Jenne to me = Jen

But some say "Jenny" which is ok too!

[Contra Mundum]

[Earthy]

Mine is pretty straight forward i think :lol:

Of course, Lewie is even shorter and that's what most have taken to calling me now.:dancy:

[«§øü£Çûttër»]

I'm not quite sure how to pronounce my name, so if anyone figures it out, would you tell me? Thanks.

[LyraDragonStar]

Haha, I just say soul cutter..but with all those weird symbols...good question..:T

[zilith]

Mine is pronounced like Zee-lith.

[*Rain*]

Wow, this has been an eye opener. I've been pronouncing a few wrong all this time.

As for mine, just like the wet stuff that falls from the sky.

[Penthesilea]

It took a while to find mine. Finally found it in an old dictionary.

It's pronounced PEN-tha-si-LEE-ah.


She was the Amazon Queen who led the Amazons during the Trojan War. They fought on the side of the Trojans and she was killed by Achilles.

[LyraDragonStar]

Oh how cool!

[Astara Seague]

:huh: Mines pretty simple, A-star- a See-ag it was oriigionally a greek starmaiden, at least Astara, the Seague just came to me???

[elfmage]

elf/mage, with the "a" being a long sound, as in "frame." Yeah, pretty self-explanatory, but I wanted to be included. ;)

[Mouse]

This thread is too funny. I love it.

Mine is pronounced "Mmm-oww-ss" with a soft M sound at the begining and an "oww" sound in the middle, kind of like the sound you say after you kick your toe, but before you cuss.

*lopsided grin* I know, I know, I didnt really need to explain. But like elfmage I just didn't wanna be left out!

[Angeni]

Angeni.... AN GEEN EE. Mine's pretty self explanatory too, but felt like playing along.

[Agaliha]

Mine is:
bless·ed (highly favored or fortunate; Bringing happiness, pleasure, or contentment.)
and
feath·ers

But I'm sure I don't need to tell anyone how to say it!

[CirceAdonia]

Cool Thread! Always wondered if I was pronouncing the names correctly!


Ok mine is Circe pronounced kir KEE (Greek Goddess)
Adonia also greek pronounced ah-DOHN-yah

[Lunacie]

I've generally heard it pronounced "kir-see", but it's your name you may have heard it differently. I'll try to remember to "hear" it in my head your way when I see it here on MW.

[Valerie]

I think mine is pretty self-explanatory. :smile:

[Rayzer]

If you can't pronounce mine then you are an idiot

[yavanna]

Mine is pronounces Ya (like a quick quick saying of Yeah, as the first syllable it is stressed) Va (just like Ya but with a V instead) and ANA (like the name Ana), Yavana :D

[LyraDragonStar]

You guys are just too much! :T

[MoonDust]

Moon...Dust. :T
I know I know I'm a goof
