What a great thread! I too got many of these wrong - particularly Lies, jbarta and zireal. Mine's too boring to try and correct anyone's pronunciation of it although I do like it when I get called just mellow or MM (thanks TJ!).
So, has anyone asked Jeric whether it's pronounced Jeric or Yeric?  |

J sound, not Y sound, MM.
If not, I'll be very surprised.

Very interesting reading..for what is in a name? A rose is .. never mind.
Mine is Cinder. Still amazes me how many do not think it is feminine. It is short for herself Cinderella.
I was teaching fairy tales when I needed a name for chat rooms.
I dropped the end and got Cinder Sin-der...and yes that gets played on too.
I could mention that cinder is also a building block, but that is not one of my fonder ones.
Cinder is also the cone of a volcano.
Met old Cinderella at Disneyland once.. the real one!!!

It's been shortened to Akwat in the chat before...but Akwa, akwat, whatever...it's all the same to me!
I've only seen Aqua Teen Hunger Force once or twice...sorry to disappoint, lordzero! |

I always thought it was LOW-tur-king, with emphasis on the first syllable and "LO" stood for "Lord". |

It was supposed to be elvish back when I came up with it 5 years ago but a while later I realized I forgot the "n" after the first "E". By then I was so used to it I figured it was pointless correcting it. Anyway, I never really Knew for sure how its supposed to be pronounced but I typically pronounce it in Spanish:
E-veen-yah-tahr or something like that.
Fun thread to read though |

It does indeed stand of Lord Of The Rings, but "Lord of the Rings King" is a mouthful, so I always says Lot-URR-King in my head.

"Lot-URR" rhymes with "hotter" or "voter"? |
