How Do You Pronounce Names?

[donpedrox]

I thought of that but to me it too much sounds like the Muslim bible (the Quran) and so wouldn't be appropriate.

how is that not appropriate?

anyways

Ghriahim- gear-ah-heem
Epona- eh-pon-ah
Fi- fee/fye I switch it up sometimes
Koume- coo-me
Kotake- co-tah-kay

 

[Pie Master]

Fi- Fye
Ghirahim- Gi (as in gimmick) - rahim
Saria- Se - rya
Epona- E - po - na
Farore- Fa - ro - re
Koume- Ko - oo - me
Kotake- Ko - ta - ke
Navi- Navi as in navigator
Tael- Tail
Tatl- Tattle
Aryll- E - rill
Ilia- Ee - lya
Nayru- Nai - ru

From a breakdown I tend to sound them either like in Japanese (Koume, Kotake) or like my home language (Portuguese) (Aryll, Epona, Farore), and some are me trying to sound like I'm speaking English (Tael, Tatl, Saria)

I have a hard time with pronouncing names too, does anyone know how to pronounce Karane? Is it Kah-rah-nee or Kah-rain?

*points to my post* Care-ann. Used to say Care-e-ann, but then I thought that wouldnt work since there's not an e sound in the middle.

 

[triforce_power]

Fi - Fee
Ghirahim - Gear-ah-him
Farore - Fa-roar-ee
Navi - Nah-vee
Nayru - Nare-roo
Tatl - Tattle
Tael - Tay-el
Deku - Deck-oo
Aryll - Are-ee-ill
Karane - Ca- rain
Ilia - I-lee-ah
Epona - Eh-poe-na
Saria- S-arr-ee-a

 

[Garo]

Fi - fee
Ghiarhim - Gear-uh-heem
Farore - Fair-or
Navi - Nah-vee
Nayru - nigh-rue
Tatl - Tattle
Tael - Tale
Deku - Deck-oo
Aryll - Air-ill
Ilia - Ill-ee-uh
Epona - Eh-puh-nuh
Saria - Sair-ee-uh
Koume - Kuum
Kotake - Koh-take

I pronounce them weirdly, I think.

 

[Ratchet233]

very well actually

 

[lozeldalove]

Fi- Fye
Ghirahim- Gear-ah-him
Saria- Saar-ee-a
Epona- Eee- Pwn- Uh
Faorore- Fair-or-ee
Koume- Co-ooh-me
Kotake- Co-tak-ee
Navi- N-ah-vee
Tael- Tail
Tatl- Tattle
Aryll- Ar-el
Ilia- Ill-ee-uh

Yeah that's how I say them.

 

[Skyloft's Hero]

Fi- Fee

 

[CheeseXCrackers]

Fi = Fee (I know it's actually pronounced Fi like "Wi-Fi" but I like "fee" better)
Ghirahim = Gear-uh-him
Saria = Sar-eye-uh
Epona = Ep-own-uh
Faorore = For-or-"A"
Koume = Koo-may
Kotake = Co-take (I think her name is supposed to be pronounced Co-talk-"A" but I think my way is better. They're twins so they should both have two-syllable names)
Navi is short for "navigator" so that one should be obvious
Tatl and Tael should also be obvious since their names are from the word "tattle-tail"
Aryll = Ar-eel
Ilia = Ill-ee-uh

 

[ChuChuOfTime]

Kotake- co-take
Navi- nah-vee

 

[TreasureHunter1]

I pronounce Ganondorf: Gann-en-dwarf

and Deku: Day-coo

 

[r2d93]

Fi- Fye
Ghirahim- Gear-uh-him
Saria- Sar-ee-uh
Epona- Eh-poe-nuh
Faorore- Fah-roar
Koume- Cooh-may
Kotake- Co-tahk-ay
Navi- N-aah-vee
Tael- Tail
Tatl- Tattle
Aryll- Air-ill
Ilia- Ill-ee-uh
I feel like i say farore different than a lot of people...

Also, for the longest time i had no clue that the first letter of ilias name was an I i thought it was another L so I used to pronounce her name Lee-uh

 

[Braivety]
