    All of mine are pronounced just how they are spelled.

    I have been saying Raustyk's name wrong
    Sparrabeth- Never say we Die!

    No matter what Ted and Terry wrote, Jack and Liz love each other.

    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!).
