    key-rah
    (D.M.A.): Cooper says, "Kyrra is either the most innocent person in the world, or the girl who uses the most innuendo seemingly unintentionally but really on purpose."

  • CooperCooper
    Kyrra = keer-ruh

  • TreyTrey
    @Mathonwy, for whatever reason I've always pronounced your name in my head as Meh-TONN-way. I have no idea why.

    @Cooper, I don't extend the vowels on it myself.

    But give the 'th' a little life of its own.
    I like my steak like I like my Magic cards: mythic rare.

    Whenever I read "queue", I imagine it in its French pronunciation.

    I now imagine your name as a very French sounding [køpɛʀ].

    Hard G!!!!
  • JamethielJamethiel Adelaide
    Jah - meh - f - EE - el.

    The 'f' isn't quite a 'f' or 'th' - it's somewhere in between. It echoes how I speak in real life (I generally pronounce the 'th' sound closer to 'f' than to 'th').
  • LearynLearyn
    Leer - in

    Though often people shorten the name with Lea, which I imagine is either Lee-uh or Lee on its own.

    And I love too                                                                          Be still, my indelible friend
    That love soon might end                                                         You are unbreaking
    And be known in its aching                                                      Though quaking

    Yes, though the song is referring to Lodi, CA, rather than the village in Achaea, so pronounce it how you want. Now I'm debating which of those would be a more annoying place to be stuck.
    @Sarapis Just out of interest, did you name the Achaean Lodi after the RL Lodi? Or is it just a coincidence?
    I won a competition awhile ago to have Chris Bourassa paint a picture of Lodi. My profile pic is the end product. :)
  • RomRom
    Rom like the acronym for read-only memory.

    I understand that some people might pronounce it as Rome, which is arguably more correct, and I have come to terms with it. Sorry @Roam!

    Willing to bet it's a play on words referring to novices. Mini-a, Lo-di, small, little areas.

    I am never going to read your name the same now.

    I was mostly trolling, although if you really do want to say/think it that way, be my guest. ;)

    There are a lot of RL places named Lodi, including a city and province in Italy, for which the pronounciation is closer to yours.

    Daz from Dazzling. Lin from Lin Kuei

    Some pronounce it as a weird long Dazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzlin.(not really that long, but it sounds that way)
  • HermaldoHermaldo
    Her-maul-doe

    Though when I have talked to people online they seemed to think it was...

    Her-mowl-doe...like an owl. Or Captain Mal from Firefly.
