We all come up with our own names and elements in the course of RP, but I often found it fascinating how different people read names I come up with. Â I had a character in WoW named Zumoktaga, and people tended to shorten it to "Zumo" and, I found, pronounced it the same way you'd pronounce "sumo". Â But in longform, it always was pronounce ZOO-mock-TAH-gah.
Now, some names, such as my alt Clayborne Turk, get pronounced correctly, but last night, and after only having been returned for a short while, I actually found out my characters name was being understandably mispronounced. Â Do any of you have any names or backstory elements and how do you pronounce them?
For the record, Orleans Ignacius is actually pronounced: Â OR-lay-awns ig-NAY-see-us.
