Do You Ever Say A Characters Name Differently?

[-Blank-]

If so which ones? I saw Pridak like Pear-dak because I like the way it sounds. I don't care if it's not official I prefer to call him that. What about you guys?

[Meiko]

I think I try to say them all correctly, but some of them I'm not always sure about. Those that I'm unsure of I usually try to find the etymology and figure out what the pronunciation would be.

[Eeko]

I still say Lewa and Vezon wrong. I say 'LEE-wa' and 'VEE-zon'

[-Blank-]

Me to! The other ways of saying those names suck and sound really stupid. how is Le-Wa lay wa? I don't even see how that works! Same with Vezon.

[sckor]

i used to say lewa LEA-WA when i was like 8 or 9 i guess

[HordikaMode]

Only Vezon and Lewa.

[~Allegretto~]

I still say Lewa and Vezon wrong. I say 'LEE-wa' and 'VEE-zon'

This. I don't really care for some of the official pronunciations. A lot of them sound weird IMO.

[Xinlo]

Lewa and Vezon. I say Loo-wa for some reason, and Vezon like everyone else here. Also Tahu, Gali, etc. I say as Ga or Ta instead of Gah or Tah like they say in the movies. That's just my Canadian-ness coming out, though.

[Dralcax]

Jaller as JAL-LER instead of JAL-AHHewkii as HEH-WEE-KIGH instead of HUU-KEY I didn't know the pronunciations didn't change in response to the Maori lawsuit.

[DOTM Shockwave]

I pronounce Icarax's name as I-car-axe

[Rarity]

I still pronounce Vezon, and Vezok, "Vez-on, and Vez-ok". Vayzon just sounds weird.

[Zakann the Delirious]

I pronounce Reidak as Rye-dack, though I guess it's supposed to be Ray-dack. I also call Lewa Lee-wah and I say Talk-ah-docks rather than Tack-ah-docks. And like most of you guys I pronounce Vezok and Vezon exactly as they're spelled. I don't get why it needs to have the "vay" sound.

[Heir of the Chronicler]

Lewa = Lew-uh. Always has, always will. Onewa = Wun-wuh. While I don't mind On-nee-wuh, I was pronouncing Wun-wuh in 2001 and it just feels right to me. Kind of like how Taipu wears a Ruru and Kapura wears a Pakari, darnit. Dume = Doom. "Dew-muh" just leaves me meh... even though I don't usually like "Let's use a word to reflect the character!" names, like General Grievous. I mean, Grievous? I suppose his lieutenant is Colonel Inflicts Pain, too. aaand I know there's others but I don't remember them right now. Also, Jala and Huki are Tohunga. Get it right! - Heir

[Protodite Karzahni]

Among the many, there's Dekar (Deh-car, instead of the apparantly correct Day-car). I also pronounce Bitil as "bit-ill". I'm not sure if that's correct or whether it should be "bite-ill".

[Republic Commando Sev]

I say Lewa: Lee-wa. Vezon: Vez-in Dekar: Deck-erHewkii: He-whee-coo. Yeah, I remember when I was younger I had absolutely no idea how to pronounce his name, so that's what I called him.Theirs probably loads more but I can't remember them right now.Sev

[Sumiki]

I still say Lewa and Vezon wrong. I say 'LEE-wa' and 'VEE-zon'

I do this too.I also once called the Matoran "Man-Tor-Ann". Don't ask me why. I was six.

[Bambi]

I say just about everybody's name differently.

[Zarohum]

I always used to say "Muh-ZAY-kuh" and "DEH-fuh lack"

Lewa = Lew-uh. Always has, always will. Onewa = Wun-wuh. While I don't mind On-nee-wuh, I was pronouncing Wun-wuh in 2001 and it just feels right to me. Kind of like how Taipu wears a Ruru and Kapura wears a Pakari, darnit. Dume = Doom. "Dew-muh" just leaves me meh... even though I don't usually like "Let's use a word to reflect the character!" names, like General Grievous. I mean, Grievous? I suppose his lieutenant is Colonel Inflicts Pain, too. aaand I know there's others but I don't remember them right now. Also, Jala and Huki are Tohunga. Get it right! - Heir

Actually, they explained Grievous's name. Look it up on Wookieepedia some time. Edited October 16, 2011 by Zarohum

[VBBN]

I've always called ehlek like Ay-lack Oh ad Bitil as Beetle. I mean lets face it, no one really knows how to proounce his name xD

[Daiker]

Lewa = Loo-wahDume = doomOnewa = onuaVezon = Vee-zon I probably mispronounce a bunch more, but don't realize it

[Larnuu]

Well, i say Mata-Nui my-tah-new-ee and some people say Mat-tah-new-ee. IDK which is right

[Six Two One]

No.

[Phauxx Lightning]

I still say Lewa's name LAY-wha, and I don't even bother to remember the real pronunciation. I like my way better.

[VBBN]

Well, i say Mata-Nui my-tah-new-ee and some people say Mat-tah-new-ee. IDK which is right

Neither IMO, I say my-tah-nui as that is what was said in all the movies.

[Ballom Nom Nom]

For some inexplicable reason I pronounce Ehrye "EE-Rye." ~B~

[Erebus]

I probably do yes; I don't pay attention to them anymore.

[DeLaSouth]

Lewa. (LEE-WAH)Vezon. (VEE-ZONN)Hewkii. (H-yooo-keeh)Gelu. (GHELL-OOO)

[Phovos]

Lewa.I say L-ew-a, like Lua, that coding language that so many people use to make awesome mods on Garry's moderator and stuff.

[Blue Dragon]

Hewkii's name has always been a problem for me.

[Toa TAK]

I used to pronounce Lewa as LEE-WAH. TAK

[Big Macintosh]

I once pronounced Turaga as Tu-RAGE-er when I was 6 and Bionicle first came out.

[-Blank-]

Hewkii's name has always been a problem for me.

I say Who-Key. What's the official way?

[Ringoster]

Lewa- lee-waVezok and Vezon- VEE instead of VEYHewkii- who-ee-keyReidak- rye-dackDefilak- deaf-ill-ack

[Alice Snek]

I say Ackar with more Emphasis on the Ack than the Kar. Aakar

[Blue Dragon]

Hewkii's name has always been a problem for me.

I say Who-Key. What's the official way?

According to BS01, it's HOO-kee.

[Kojol]

Lots, especially Onewa. I started with "Oh-nay-wah", then tried "oh-new-uh" and have settled on what I think is the correct one, "On-uh-wah". I still can't remember how to pronounce Dume, I keep changing the last vowel (Doom-ay? Doom-uh? Doom?)

[-Blank-]

I used to pronounce Vakama correctly, but after listening to the podcasts I picked up VAH-kama and thought that sounded cooler. -ck

WAIT! Vah-kama isn't correct?

[Nytrone]

I have always pronounced Lewa as LEE-wa, Vezon as VEE-zon, and Vezok as VEE-zok.

[Akuna Toa of Sonics]

I say Lewa like "lee-WAH", not the "lay-WAH" way.I also say Vezon like "vezzon".

I say Defilak die-ef-lak and Hewkii hue-key.
