I've had some people telling me that they have trouble pronouncing some of me names (alright, so 'people' is pretty much my mom, [White Raven] but *shrug*) Tell me how you would pronounce these names:

Iri
Sallemar
Laecla
Earis
Halian
Sonderen
Valia
Raechal
Cae'ach
Ciran
Calrogil


More to follow. Please put them in this format: Fairivel -- fair-IH-vel.
Thanks! :D

I'm using ' to indicate long vowels, because I'm having trouble with my phonetic spelling today...

Iri - i'-rhe'
Sallemar - sahl-eh-mar
Laecla - la'-cluh
Earis - my fist inclination is to pronounce this air-es, but on more reflection it's probably ear-es
Halian - hah-le'an
Sonderen - sahn-der-en
Valia - vah-le'uh
Raechal - ra'-chahl (like "Rachel," with an "al")
Cae'ach - ce'-ahch (Like the letter "c," plus "ack!" ;) I'm biased with "Cea," becuse my sci-fi has a character with that name and I just say it like the letter "c.")
Ciran - ce'r-ahn (Almost like "Cyril")
Calrogil - cahl-ro'-jil

Hope that helps!

I don't think they are hard to pronounce, but, then again, I might be pronouncing them wrong! :P

Iri - Ear-ee
Sallemar—sahl-eh-mar
Laecla—lay-ay-clah (I'm not exactly sure how to write how I pronounce this phonetically)
Earis--Ear-is
Halian—Halh-ian
Sonderen—Sohn-der-en
Valia—Val-ee-ah
Raechal—Ray-chell
Cae'ach—Kay-ack
Ciran—Seer-an
Calrogil—Calh-row-gill

Sorry I didn't place accents; I've never been good at that!

Earis -- EE-air-ihs
Halian -- HAY-lee-an
Sonderen -- Sun-DAIR-ehn

Raechal -- RAY-chuhl or REYE-chuhl ( chul as in Rachel. Yes, I have bad annunciation of vowels)
Cae'ach -- CEYE-ahch (ch as in Bach)
Ciran -- SEE-rahn or KEE-rahn (again, a mood thing)
Calrogil -- Kahl-ROH-geel


I use slightly Tolkien-elvish pronun...

Ok. I didn't read the rest of the thread because i didn't want it to affect my pronounciation. LOL!

But I didn't think the names were overly difficult.

Iri--EER-ee
Sallemar--SAL-a-Mar
Laecla--LAY-kla
Earis--EYR-is
Halian--HAL-ian
Sonderen--Son-DER-an
Valia--va-LEE-a (YOU HAVE ONE OF THESE TOO?! LOL! :D)
Raechal-- just like the English name "Rachel"
Cae'ach--KEY-ak (unless the apostrophe is a glottal stop. In which case I don't think I could pronounce it. :D)
Ciran--KEER-an (although I could see it if you switched the stress.)
Calrogil--Kal-Ro-gil

Raechal - RAY-kaal
Cae'ach - KAY-ock

These are the only two that didn't make immediate apparent sense to me. I mean, they did after I looked at them for a while, but for the average reader it might be confusing.

Same here. However, due to hearing a similar Spanish name and taking Latin, I have "wacky" pronunciation. Plus, I'm not too good at phonetic spelling, having never really taken phonics. :P

I pronounced them the same way Shawn did...it looks like Lady Eruwaedhiel's original pronunciations are based off of German, though. =)

Pretty much the only two I got right were Iri and Sonderen. I guess Air-oo-WHY-thee-ell makes hard names to pronounce. (I looked that up on an elvish name translator)

I think Raechal looks too much like the name Rachael (which is pronounced RAY-chell). Not everyone is sure whether to say a hard 'k' sound, or a 'ch' sound.
And the "ach" in Cae'ach looks like it says ach, as in "achoo", or ack, as in black.

Iri - EE-rie
Well, that can go either way. I pronounced it I-ree; and stand corrected. :roll:

Sallemar - say-YAY-marr
Sayemar would get you one Y at least... I don't think anyone connects the double ll.

Laecla - LAY-kluh
This one is good. Another spelling would be Laycla. Essentially the same, perhaps simpler.

Earis - ee-AHR-iss
That's understandable.

Halian - HAY-lee-ann
Hm... tough one. Your current spelling runs the risks of the accent going on the second syllable and/or the first syllable being prounounced Hah instead of Hay. You could fix this one with a y too: Haylian, but that depends on how many ys you want to randomly stick into every name. :D

Sonderen - sohn-DERR-en
Only issue here is the accent (I want to place it on the first syllable), but that's survivable.

Valia - VAA-lee uh
That's perfect.

Raechal - RAY-kaal
I agree with everyone else. It's seen as a form of Rachel.
Raekaal - Raychael - Raekale - Raykale
Is it a boy or girl name, incidentally?

Cae'ach - KAY-ock
This is very gaelic. :D Pronunciation works.

Ciran - SEE-ran
Close enough. Siran, Sirren, etc if you have a problem with people using a hard C.

Calrogil - KOWL-roh-GILL
The accents work on this one and the rest trails along begrudgingly. Overall this is the hardest name on your list. It's cumbersome, especially given that pronunciation. :P

A good thing to consider would be a pronunciation glossary. If you list the main characters before the book begins with how to pronounce them then no one has an excuse to say it wrong. :D

LOL Jaynin. Thanks, this is very helpful. :)

I'm one of those geeky readers who refer to the pronunciation guide to see if I'm doing it right, and if there isn't one I bemoan the lack of it.

I don't have a problem with Iri's name. It's short and isn't too much of a bother if someone mispronounces it. How would you say Irivel? (his full name.)

I may have to put a Y in Sallemar. That would work better than the double L, probably. Although I do have one character specify how to pronounce it. I'm just worried it will sound cheesy. :P

I wouldn't want to do that to poor Halian. Make his name sound like horse fodder... *shakes head* I'll run the risk. :rofl:

Oh. You had the emphasis on Sonderen right. The middle syllable is the only one that ISN'T accented. I'm a terrible muddle with those things. It should have read SOHN-derr-en or better yet SAWN-derr-en since the OH could be interpreted as the long O.

Valia is actually misspelled. :shock: It's supposed to be VARIA. Oops. Would you say that the same way?

Hmph. Raechal is actually one of my favorite names. Incidentally it happens to be one of the hardest, eh? It's unisex; actually the name of a race. Raekaal would work nicely, but it would be such a bother to change it. :?

Hah! I'm glad you seem to think Cae'ach works. Everyone else has doubts. It's one of my favorite names too.

Calrogil is the name of a town. Can you tell me how you would have pronounced it? It didn't seem cumbersome to me.

I love your analyses, by the way. :D As soon as I can dig up another boatload of names, I'll throw 'em out.

I've always wondered about Iriviel. I'd put the accent on the second syllable so: eer-IH-vee-ehl. I'm not good at phonetic spellings but I think that's close.

If you have a character who needs help with Sallemer than your readers will have that pronunciation ingrained in their brain. It's just best if you specify right when the character is introduced, rather than after the reader already has a mental pronunciation they're accustomed too.

Valia has an A like in Apple. VAA-lia. Varia has an A like in Father. VAH-lia. Otherwise I'd say they're exactly the same, and spelled perfectly normal. The reason for the vowel difference is the difference between how you say L and R. You could say Varia like Very-ah but it doesn't flow as well.

Hm. I'd advise going with Raekaal. Changing it isn't that hard, just use the search and replace feature. :rofl: However, if you want Raechal and have a pronunciation guide than I think it's a reader's responsibility to make sure they know it's a hard ck sound, not ch. It's a bit German too. I remember the first time I saw the word "Rache" I pronounced it like Rachel, and then found out it was a hard Ck sound. So you're in the same boat with the Germans. :D

Incidentally, that means anyone with enough education to recognize "Rache" will probably prounounce "Raechal" the same way. If it's the name of a race it should be a little more apparent that it's not a form of Rachel. :roll:

Calrogil
CAL-roe-gill

Short a, long o, short i. Accent on the first syllable. If it's just a town, and it's not used a lot, it doesn't really matter what it sounds like. Part of the key to long cumbersome names is how often the reader has to encounter it. :P

Anyway, glad I could be of help!

I actually haven't given it a thought since I last posted on this topic. I completely forgot about this. :blush:

Umm. Well, now that I think about it, no. At least not yet. That's another thing I need to ask my draft readers about; thanks for reminding me!

You're putting an extra syllable in. I say it EER-ih-vell.

*chews lower lip in consternation* You say it's not that difficult to change it, but you're working with the experience you have - that is, keeping all of the story in one document. I have it scattered out divided by different perspectives in over 20 documents. :evil: I'd like to keep it all in one doc, but it would kill my computer. I'll think about changing it. Raykaal is a possibility, but I think ultimately it will go in as it is.

I think it's used three times in 200,000 words. So I don't think I'll have to worry about it. :rofl:

How's about a few more names, now that I have rediscovered the topic? :P

Elchion

Arunic
Natisha
Ashrivel
Cereth
Vestia

Glitter? No thanks. Dragonriders detest glitter. Plus, it gets in the dragons lungs or something. You know what cats look like hacking up a hairball right? Imagine that, only with fire involved. Not pleasant

Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Works in progress:

The Diegosian Mark, 115,600 words (Preparing for Publication)
The Diegosian Rider, 121,400 words (Finished)
The Diegosian Warrior, 15,000 (In Progress)

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king

J. R. R. Tolkien


My favourite quote: "God will give His kindness for you to use when your own runs out."
