Before the "grand reveal", how are we pronouncing Orly? Is it aura-lee or ore-lee?
Also. Is it gah-vin or gay-vin

I'd personally say "or-lee" for Olga until the reveal and Gah-vin for Gavin [imo gay-vin just sounds a bit odd]

I pronouce it gay-vin mostly because the playthrough I watched the guy called it that, but I think gah-vin makes much more sense. And oh-really for Orly.

I seem to go between Ore-lee and Aura-lee, but it's always been Gah-vin to me.

And can we please come to a decisions on the pronunciation of Lamiroir. I know Gramarye is an actual word for occult and magic, but I'm not sure of it's actual pronunciation.

I always said "lam-roir" but thats probably just me being incapable of reading
Also how does one actually pronounce Gramarye? I've always said it "gray-mare" because i cant read but I was wondering how u actually say it

Post by Kai on Jun 4, 2016 16:02:55 GMT
I say "Gra-mar-yay"
Not sure if it's actually pronounced like that

That probably makes more sense than what I see when I look at it xD When i look at the word i say "Gra-Mar-yuh" [the 'yuh' is a 'ye' sound basically] buuut im not sure
OK SO ACCORDING TO YOUTUBE YOU SAY IT "Grammar-ee" which sounds dDUMB

Grammar-ee does sound dumb, though it's how i've always pronounced it  I honestly have no clue for Lamiroir. I always end up with a second M in there somewhere, but my best guess is lam-ee-rah. |

I usually go Gah-vin, La-me-rawr, and Gram-air
...
I'm prob'ly wrong on the last two.

Post by Shai on Jun 9, 2016 6:46:10 GMT
I go with Gah-vin, La-mi-wauh (like the o sound in "box"), and Gra-mar-ay. I used to say it as "Grammar-yee" but I decided it didn't sound elegant enough so I changed it x3

I was just thinking... What if we pronounced Lamiroir and Gramayre with more of a French pronunciation, and go with something else for the rest of the names, to kind of foreshadow their connection?
...Forgive my spelling. I'm tired.

Post by Kai on Jun 14, 2016 2:36:14 GMT
lol we should do Lamiroir's in Borginian.
Who hear can speak Wingdings?
XD
But in all seriousness, should we just let the voice actor of the characters decide on how they say their name?
I say Klavier like Kla-VEE-er with an accent on the VEE. Or, I try to.
Everything I say ends up having a French accent.
I'm not even French.

Nice. XD
The only problem with that is if we try to use names in songs, rhymes and syllables will then be an issue since we won't know what it's going to be pronounced as.

Same tho that's how I pronounce Klavier too xD But I do think It'd be a bit hard if we just let the voice actor decide unless we ask them before, so we can make any changes to the songs if we needed to? |

If that helps... Klavier is also the German word for piano and is pronounced like this: www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/german-english/klavierHowever, that is not how I pronounce it, simply because it feels like referring to that guy as a piano. (In the German localisation of AJ they actually changed his name to Kantilen or something like that, I guess in order to reduce stupid confusion during Turnabout Serenade.) |

I'd be cool with that pronounciation!
Hey, so what if we contacted Capcom? They'd prob'ly be willing to help.

I just had a realization... is Ema pronounced "eh-mah" (like how you'd pronounce "Emma") or is it pronounced "ee-mah"? I once heard someone pronounce Ema as "ee-mah" while I was watching a playthrough of AJ while I've been pronouncing it "eh-mah" this whole time. I heard that and thought that it was positively ugly and kept on pronouncing it "eh-mah" anyway, even though I could be wrong. (And I usually always have a habit of pronouncing things wrong this is what happens when you're an immigrant lmao)

Post by Oracle on Jun 27, 2016 8:53:43 GMT
I've always said it ee-mah
Due to the spelling
If it was emma it'd obviously be "eh-mah" but since it only has 1 e i do the long e sound x)

), sort-of-songwriter (GCSE/A level music, Grade 5 Theory ABRSM). Can play basics of other instruments, can sing alto or soprano. The Guitar's Serenade is my fave guilty pleasure.
I honestly have no clue for Lamiroir. I always end up with a second M in there somewhere, but my best guess is lam-ee-rah.
