There used to be a thread for this (seperate from the old Origins thread), but it seems to have been purged in a forum clean out. So I shall remake it!
There are a lot of people around now who have some oddly spelled names. This thread is a place to describe the way your name is supposed to sound were it said out loud. I will begin!

.
- Amoné (Ah-Moh-Nay) Fayden (Fay - Din)
Italics = Emphasis.
I get queried occasionally about the "é" in my name.
The acute is there to remind people that her name end's with "
ey".
It is not "Ah-Mohn".
As far as in-game usage, you don't need to include the é when typing it and to PM me you can write /tell amon.

Let's try to keep it to just the basics on name pronunciation so the thread doesn't get too cluttered. That's why I didn't revive the Origins thread. Just makes it easier to scan through names that way.

O - oh - like in realization!
ber - Bear - like what kiwron wants to be when he grows up.
on - on - not off
Pen - pehn - a writing utensil
tar - tahr - a pasty, low viscosity fluid you really don't want on you. Usually comes with feathers.
i - e - like the fifth letter in the English alphabet.

Akalenn:
Ah-kah-len (with emphasis on the n).
Nira'kalen'nuruodo: the "proper" pronunciation is beyond the capabilities of most humanoids, but for your OOC amusement, I pronounce it
Nih-ra-kah-len-noo-roo-oh-doh - try rolling the rs and say it as fast as you can.
And then there's the oh-so-common
Nira (
Nee-rah), which never seems to go away. It's a nickname, folks, not to be used in formal address.
