Here's the first if you're curious: www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=204326

Mine again -
Tadhg: TYE-gh (Because it's Irish, therefore half the letters are seemingly meaningless to English-speakers)
Gladoree: GLAD-or-ee
Saldi: SAHL-dee
Dadian: DAY-dee-ahn

People seem to have a hell of a time typing my name - it's not Antonio, it's not Antonine, it's not Antwon, it's Antonin - not super hard

Nem-s.

Not Nem-See.

no "e" sound at the end. The "e" is silent.

Wait, it's two syllables? As in, rhymes with menace? I thought it was one syllable like... Nemss. Rhymes with second syllable of science (kind of.)

By the way, I love this thread. I always ask people how they pronounce their name when it's spell oddly and just love correcting people when they call me "Katie."

I'm pretty sure it's a single syllable.

I think one of these days I'll take all the names given here and do a pronunciation attempt video! :D

Name: Pronunciation (shortened)
Viskovitz: Visk-oh-vits (Visko)
Ljuba: Loo-Bah (Lj) (to be pleasing... in the way that our Anglo-saxon forefathers would've used it in reference to say, a hot bowl of bear meat or your enemy's skull...split) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yr5Mrj2w__g)
Apologetic: ...Uh-pol-uh-jet-ik (Apollo)

And always the surname "Jones."
