How Do You Pronounce Your Name?

Post by **Arwen Tonks** » Fri Aug 27, 2004 6:59 pm

Here's how you pronounce my name:
Ar - as in arrrr
wen - just wen

It's easy lol, the same way as you pronounce Arwen from Lord of the Rings.

Hi all.....let me try to explain as well......Even if it is easy.

Li = souds Lee
a = same soud as the "a" of mamy
ne = "e" it is a long "e" as Lee (without the L)

A = like ah or like the "a" of Latin
bre = "e" sounds as eh (like "e" in bread)

So......my name is: Lee-a-nee Ah-bre-u

Well, mine could be Lee or Le-ah - I like both so I'm not too particular.

Just spell it right, that's all I ask. Thanks!

Yep. I had trouble with my own profs in real life pronouncing my real name. Feels like wanting to strangle something sometimes. ^^;

As for my HOL name:

Trix - Tree plus the ix sound
cy - same as the sound for 'sea'

Re - pronounced 'rhei'
ya - ya, the 'a' as in 'star'

My other variation: Trik.sa.lis A.le.queen

Well my first name is Mawy and it is said like one of the Hawaii Islands, Maui.
My last name is Daigle kind of like Day with the =gl= sound at the end.

My HOL name is easy: Tab-i-tha Cole (as in the black fossil fuel.) My Muggle name, on the other hand, causes people problems. Few people can get it through their heads that "Aileen" is pronounced A-leen not I-leen or Ay-lee-en (alien) or amy or some other odd variation.
