I often see names, and wonder how they are meant to be pronounced. I have a name to begin with, and it's our very own server lord Rogean.

How is this name pronounced? Is it RO-GEEN? Is it RO-GIAN? Is it RO-JEEN? Maybe it's like Roger, ROG-EE-AN?

I also wonder about Llandris' name too. His could be the obvious that being LAN-DRIS, or it could have a spanish pronounciation with the double L's giving it a Y sound... YAN-DRIS, or YON-DREES.

How do you guys pronounce these two names, and what other player's names have you seen and wondered how to pronounce?

From Sirkens stream -which I now boycott due to frustrations surrounding Wu'Tang - I believe I have heard them pronounced as...

Ro-gan (Like Joe Rogan)

Lan-dris

haha. Well Llandris was easy then, but I never would have thought Rogean would be pronounced like that.

From the iconic cinema triumph Broadcast News:

Blair Litton: Oh, you think anyone who's proud of the work we do is an ass-kisser.
Aaron Altman: No, I think anyone who puckers up their lips and presses it against their boss's buttocks and then smooches is an ass-kisser.

I read all names backwards, as in Norrath they use a right to left literary system.

As such I pronounce Nilbog 'Goblin', Sirken 'Nekris' and Rogean 'Naegor'. Nottap Ekim as 'Mike Patton'.

I always read names or words as if they are anagrams so I can appreciate this. :p

Nice!

I can't help to think of lamb curry when Rogean posts, I do wonder if his name is Josh.
