Help[Opinions] Re: Names you've been mispronouncing this whole time?
in reply to a message by thenightsnotover1
So many times
Aloysius as "al-oy-see-is" instead of "al-o-ish-is"
Alana as "uh-lah-na" instead of "uh-lan-a"
Leland as "leh-lind" instead of "lee-lind"
Xavier as "ex-ay-vee-er" instead of "zay-vee-er"
Micheala as "my-kull-uh" instead of "mi-kay-la"
Ambrose as "am-brohs" instead of "am-brahz"
Any Japanese name with "hide" in it is "KHEE-DEH", not "hee-deh". Hideko. Hideki. Hideaki.
In Japanese names ending in "Ji" I mispronounced them as "Jee" instead of "ZHEE". In Jiro and Jirota, it is "jee" because it's at the beginning.
