discipleofhoid Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Um yeah - So I would hope mine is evident - if you need help with the last word go find a Brandon Sanderson interview. I think he is mentioned at least once in all of the recent interviews. Should be H-oy-d if oy is pronounced the way I think it should be. Google search says I am unique to so anywhere you see this should be me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcanist Lupus Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Heh. I'm not unique at all. Heck, there is both a sirreadalot .com and .org, neither of which are me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meandering Monotreme Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 I really hope I don't actually have to post here, but I will anyway: You pronounce it as the two words "tangle" and "talon". Now all together: Tangletalon! Yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhalagirl Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I suppose I should be good and clarify pronunciation as well. All you have to do is skip the h and use a nice round tone for the a. Da-la Girl (What can I say, I'm Polish. I have a love for silent consonants.)

Musicspren Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Musicspren, just like the word. Wait. Why does my dictionary not list that word? It is a perfectly good word that appeared in The Way of Kings. This is preposterous, like saying Allomancy isn't a proper word. In fact, Dictionary.com thinks that I misspelled mezzosoprani. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/musicspren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyRioter Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 clearly the people at dictionary.com need to be introduced to Brandon Sanderson so they can correct their mistake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yados Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Yae-dose He's a character from my cosmology who doesn't technically appear until 700 years after the period I'm writing. Except he does but that's a bit of a spoiler and not at all relevant at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your love cant be strong if you only have one silent letter lol She said she's Polish, not Welsh! Also, mine is nick-O-miss. When I made the username long long ago I didn't realize that it's apparently a real name somewhere in the world, but I think I pronounce it differently. Also, while Nik is an acceptable shorthand, Nick isn't my name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady_Yasha Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) I've confused everyone with my name in the past. I obtained it through a random name generator for His Dark Material's daemons. I believe I had a fad for discovering the name of my own daemon had I one and this one was the only one I could recall when I first used it as an account name.

Thought Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Although my name might seem obvious, it is "actually" pronounced hu-ginn, or "hew-ginn," if you will." Some people's names have silent letters, mine has silent words. That said, it is quite interesting to see how people pronounce their names.

Moru Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Mine is pretty easy, I think. I guess I'd write it phonetically like this: "Moe-roo" Sometimes I like it "Moroo" Kind of like in "fawn" or "dawn" Mawroo. Either way you pronounce it, it'd be right. ^^ Since I switch back and forth. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swifftalon Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 My username comes from a combination of "swift" and "talon". So it's Swiff like swift and talon. Simple enough, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deoradhan Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I personally pronounce it DEE-oh-rad-ann - which is probably inaccurate. I picked it off a list of Gaelic words found on the internet, knowing only that it could translate roughly into 'wanderer'. If anyone here actually speaks the language, correction on pronunciation would be pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamzin Ashevai Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) Tam (as in ram); zin (as in zinfandel); Ash (as in gosh); e (as in eh); vai (as in hi).

Glaring at the Survivor Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) Long O (ō). Short I (î) (actually it's more like ee. Short A (â). Strō-nîâx Only the O is long vowel, not I or A. And I=ee / ē Stone with an R crammed in there, and then iax pronounced like e (long) ax Edited October 5, 2012 by Stroniax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenith Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Z (Letter's name) nith. Kinda obvious. Short i(ih sound, right?). Like the word, right? Is it? IDK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voidus Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Although my name might seem obvious, it is "actually" pronounced hu-ginn, or "hew-ginn," if you will." Some people's names have silent letters, mine has silent words. Isn't that a translation for 'thought' in Christopher Paolini's Ancient Language? As for my name it's fairly straightforward Void-Us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
