    How do your pets names sound?

    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"

    If you read/speak spanish then it is just how it looks. Niño. It literally means little boy, or child (male)
    If not then, it is pronounced "Neen-yo"
    And Oslo is I guess a bit different, "Oz-low"
    Tigger is just like the character in winnie the pooh

    Niño & Eliza

    I think Simba's pretty much reads how it looks. No one has problems with his, usually.

    Nala and Kiara are a different story!

    Key-ARE-uh

    No, Mark, NOT Key-AIR-uh you airhead.

    Mine are all pronounced the way they look. I think the only name that ever gets mispronounced is Nacey. It's pronounced Nay-see. (it rhymes with Casey or Lacey)

    Oh, I always thought Zsa-Zsa was pronounced "Tsa-Tsa" or "Zah-Zah." Guess you learn something new everyday!

    My pets are:

    Marta: exactly like it's spelled!

    Adele: Ah-dell

    Vallis: Vall-is

    Seine: Sen
