Do you have a name that may have different pronunciations? I didn't realize mine did tell several people started saying it!

For instance, Lady Lissame
I pronounce it Liss-uh-mee, but many others are saying Liss-uhm.

Anyone else?

LadyFae

Hmm, nope, I always saw it as Liss-ah-me.  =D

Mairte

I have people calling me "Marty" all the time....its pronounced Mare-Ta

LadyFae

Oh.  Sorry, I was always thinking Mare-teh- I was close though!  =)  But Marty?  I don't see that...

Ahhh... now this is a thread that could help me a great deal!  I found out about a year or so ago that a lot of people pronounce my Faire name phonetically, saying the first part as though it rhymed with man, like "RAN-ee", but instead it's an "ah" sound... (accent on the first syllable):

RAH-nee Zeh-MEER-uh.
Rani - Fire Goddess

Aut disce... aut discede

LadyFae

I always think yours either Rah-nee or Rae-nee...

mehan

Ok... I'll join in mine is ME-ann - though so many say me-HAN.

Oh... and I had Rani right - yipee

Rani Zemirah

;D  I thought that might be how you pronounced yours, although I wasn't positive, but I did have Lissame and Mairte correct.

Ok, that had me.  I'm a Californian, and I was pronouncing it CAT-uh-Lee-nuh, like hte island.   I was spot on the others though.  

Mine is simple.  Rowen   'Row-in'  

I do not spell it Rowan for the simple reason that it seems like everyone spells it like that or the more exotic 'Rowyn'.
