How do you pronounce your character's name?

Kadras

Sorry my name sounds better pronounced Ka-dras

Kiliami

Key-lee-ah-mee.

A tad cutesy, but felt it right for what I want his current personality to reflect.

Gauthus

Gaa-thus

Kiliami

I was just thinking, not to defeat the purpose of this post, it's nice to know how to pronounce a character's name, but for IC purposes as long as you spell my name right, you are pronouncing it right. To your screen you could pronouce Kiliami , Wall-E, I won't cry. (Yes sometimes I read, what's on my screen, out loud. My wife laughs.)

Lyr

/lɪr/

Jhui

jewy

I tried to go by joo (or jew) at first, but I think jewy makes me have more friends

I have a similar feeling for all the typed out accents I've seen over the years, particularly the intricate ones that are supposedly for awesome RP. On my end, the only pronunciation that matters is mine, and that's why I've always felt that typed out accents have always come across out of context for me. I've read up on the histories of the races and cities and already have it worked out in my head how their respective accents sound. So when somebody comes along and starts typing stuff out to try and convey an accent, it loses me fast.

Ah-Rah-Dor ("Dor" as in "Door" as in "Close the damn door")

You know how you look at a perfectly simple word, spelt correctly, and the longer you look at it, the more incorrectly spelt and silly it looks. "Door" just did that to me.

Tuh-vee. Tuhv...? Tfffvis?

Tuh/Tee/T Vist-or, whatever.

I just say Twister in a Russian accent.

Averi

Today, I learned that I've been pronouncing nearly everyone's name wrong.

Maethros

MY-throhs.

And, I completely agree re: typed accents (barring small things).  Even when the people doing it seem swell, otherwise, I just can't take it.  When I cannae tell wot yer tryin' t'say cos ta words ar'nae clear inna TEXT GAME, me mood is spoilt.

Besides, it's moot: I read everything ANYONE says in the Dick Van Dyke accent from Mary Poppins, anyway.

It's a Somalian word meaning 'star.'

The best one I heard at a meet once was "Hey you're that thicky guy"

I honestly don't care what any of your names are. I'm going to pronounce them the way I want to, and there's nothing you can do about it.

(Ann-Drake-Oh)...If there was another way of pronouncing my name, then it's wrong.

The name is as easy as it is unimpressive.
