I think mine is fairly easy, but there's always the question of emphasis and long and short vowels, I suppose.

Kar = kair (rhymes with hair)
a = uh
lin = lin (rhymes with in)

Mc = muck (spoken quickly, almost like the 'u' isn't there)
Kay= kay (rhymes with hay)

KAIR-uh-lin Muck-KAY

I voted under classical, but I suppose it would be more of a combination. My primary instrument, and my first love, is the oboe. English horn basically goes with that, though there are times when I'm in more of an "English horn" mood than in an "oboe" mood. I can't explain how that works, although o...

"Into the West" - Lord of the Rings: Return of the King , Howard Shore (sung by Annie Lennox) "Use Well the Days" - Lord of the Rings: Return o...

It was an absolute honor to be Sorted into Salazar Slytherin's noble house, and I can only hope that I will represent it well during my time at HOL. I certainly fancy myself to be ambitious and cunning, but I suppose only time will tell...

From Larakin came Karalin, and I immediately liked everything about it. McKay was chosen both because I like Irish a...
