Meanwhile, the "correct" version would be:

"Coo-na-lee" or "Coo-nah-lee"

You're pretty Coo', Nahli.

Ughhhhhhh! Okay, I admit... that made me laugh.... (_ _) ;;;;;

Nick is a pretty easy name. I struggle with some other things. I used to pronounce La Noscea as La No-See-Ah and now it's La No-sha.

K'mih is pronounced like Japanese Kumi (like Koda Kumi).

I don't know much about English, but I think English speakers write that sound as "coo"? That's how Japanese people said that K was pronounced for miqo'te tribes, so yes.

Mih is just a normal English "me".

(I don't really know much about English pronunciation. Both in Spanish and Japanese, things simply sound as you write them, so merely writing Kumi is crystal clear to me).

What? I pronounce the former too...

It's ãƒ©ãƒŽã‚·ã‚¢ in Japanese, so the former seems the correct pronunciation (unless I'm simply mistaking what "La-No-See-Ah" is supposed to sound like. As I said, I don't really know about English sounds).

My main RPC, K'heyo Tia, probably is mispronounced fairly often. Heck, even I was mispronouncing his name at first!

I initially picked the spelling because I thought it was cool and thought it was pronounced "Key-oh". However, after doing some research on Miqo'te name conventions, I found out that it's actually pronounced "KOO-hey-oh." Go figure.

An old character I used to play was Sysion, which I had originally intended to be SIH-zhun, rhyming with Fission.

Almost everyone ended up pronouncing it CY-sun or CY-see-un though.

It was a weird name/sound to hear in raid callouts.

My alt, Eko Tenok, seems to get people.

A lot of people say Echo, it's actually EE-koh Teh-nock.

And the pronunciation gets weirder in his own tongue. That's on his wiki though. (Ay-ee-koh-t'-thenn-oh-ack... one word)

My main, Uther Skystrider, is pretty straightforward.Â

My last character, who I never really play, Wart Totonji is also pretty obvious. To clarify, it's Toe-tone-jee.

It seems straight-forward but it's not pronounced "lily-ah" since the name is based on phonetic repetition, so it's more like "lee lee ah lee ah."Â So the first two syllables rhyme with "Feely" not "Billy."Â

ã‚Šã‚Šã‚ ã‚Šã‚?Â I think that's right.Â Wikipedia is my source.
