    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.

    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.

    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!).
