How do your pets names sound?

[Sevaede]

Are your companions names pronounced like they look?

Sonis name is pronounced as "sunny".

Isis sounds like Ice-iss.

Bijou sounds like Bee-jew with j a little blended into the rest of it

Rota is a Nordic name for one of the original Valkyries and I have only seen it on the internet. I have no idea how it goes but I just pronounce it as "Row-tuh"

the first time I looked at Huney's name I thought it was pronounced "Hue-nie" but I figured it out ;)

[wolf_Q]

Nebo's name has been mispronounced a lot so I guess it's harder than it looks. I suppose it looks more like "Neh-bo" but it's actually "Nee-bo." It's like the name Nemo in Finding Nemo, except with a B. ;) He is often mistakenly called Nemo.

Sydney: Sid-nee
Reggie: Redge-ee

[Husky_mom]

of my current dogs i have no difficulties on getting their names right
the dogs:
NINJA : nin-ya
CHINA : just like the country (but if you speak spanish then its shay-na)

the bettas: (in english thay are as they seem, but for spanish)
STEEL : still
TIDE : taid
STRAWBERRY: strauberry
DENIM CRAZE: denim creis

some i´ve had trouble with were
PHANTOM : they always got it as fanton (well spanish speakers of course LOL)
RANMA: and she got always rama (like a stick in spanish, but no i said, like RANMA the cartoon :rolleyes: )

[Roxyluvsme13]

I've been saying Kaige's name wrong :o:p, Raustyk's, too.

[molucass]

Annie ** Ann-eee
Bailee ** Bay-lee
Deebo ** Dee-bo
Isabelle ** Iz-uh-bell
Prissy ** Priss-ee
Skylar ** Sky-ler

I guess pretty much all of mine are self explanatory.

[.sarah]

I've been saying Kaige's name wrong :o:p, Raustyk's, too.
How were you saying Kaige?

I had Raustyk's name wrong until a few months ago when I finally asked how you say it. I'd been thinking it was like rah-stick.

[dogzr#1]

All of mine are pronounced just how they are spelled.

I have been saying Raustyk's name wrong :o

[dionne]

angel is pronounced the way it sounds, but abysinthe looks like its pronounced like abby-sin-thee but its just ab-sinth like the drink thats illegal in the us and makes you hallucinate... ;)

[finn's mom]

All of my pet's names have been fairly easy. I don't think I've ever had anyone ever pronounce them incorrectly when they see them written. I've had people misunderstand what I'm saying when I say Finn's name (I get Ben, Sven, etc). But, they're all self-explanatory when they're seen, usually. ;)

Finn - fin (like a fish's fin, or like Huckleberry Finn)
Freckles - (just like freckles on a person's nose)
Dudley - Duhd-lee (like the actor Dudley Moore)

RB pets...
Dusty - Duh-stee (like my cabinets!)
Bruno - Broo-no
Luli - Loo-lee

And, so far the only ones I think I'm pronouncing incorrectly are Raustyk, and, Zsa Zsa (I thought Zsa Zsa was like the actress, Gabor...but, I guess it's pronounced like the word Tsar. I never would have guessed that!).

[Dorothy39]
