Elmar-Nee-uh
Raf-Ale
Foam-Eeeee
Oon-uh (I think of the little sprite lady from the movie Legend)
Rodan (ラドン Radon?)

I've always wondered if that was intentional, and just you being modest and disguising the connection.

This, but I pronounce it Shel guy er, Oo nuh (Oonagh), Ruh (as in Scooby-Doo exclamation) Fail (Rafael), A gnor and Su ni co.

Am I the only one who says Oonagh as oo-nog?

Nope, I'm with ya.

Farskee, you don't pronounce my name wrong just because of the 'skee thing, right?

LOL, no. I assume from other places I've seen you spell it that it should be "LEHN-ahs," (shouldn't it?) but I've never made the mental fix.

Edit: and LK, I also generally think "OOH nog," but I tend to put a little bit of a "huh" on the end of it in more formal pronunciation like this.

Does your brain respond well to positive reinforcement?

I have cookies.

That's the first time I heard that pronounciation, actually, Farsky. I always pronounced it I-nan personally. My guildmates called me E-nan. Hence, I had the nickname Neener. Actually it was given to by a fellow ranger that used to be at the original Glade, Freem.

Most of the names given I pronounce similarly. Aizle I always thought of as aisle, like in a store. Talya was always as it looked, Tali-ah. I've recently heard it as an actual name. Apparently, it's Hebrew in origin. Farsky is Far-sky to me. The Farskee and Hutch reference is funny though.

Hehe, I say Oo-naff.

The Dude abides.

It was spelled "Starsky and Hutch", too...see how similar the spelling is? Just 1 character, there at the beginning.

That, and I know it's the bane of his existence, which tickles the snot out of me. Not a pretty sight, I'm sure, but whatever tweaks one's cheeks, ya'know?
