Posted: Sat Jul 24, 2010 10:41 pm Post subject: Name Pronunciation |
|
|
Mods, you can go ahead and start throwing rocks and rotten tomatoes at me, because this has probably been discussed dozens of times in hundreds of different threads. But I been looking and looking and haven't figured out where to look, at least not as far as Mordant's Need is concerned. I know there is a Name Meaning thread, but pronunciation is barely mentioned there, as far as I can tell, and I didn't want to pull it off topic.
Self-Explanatory thread, really. How do you pronounce them?
I know the basic rules and structure of the English language, but I can't possibly make my brain read/pronounce in my head Geraden and Artagel with soft G's.
Ah hell, I'll list them:
Geraden: GAIR-uh-den
Artagel: ART-uh-gel (hard g)
Joyse: joice (like rejoice)
Myste: MIST
Kragen: Craig N. ; KRAY-gen (hard g)
Basically, like I said, I can't get the hard G's out of my head, and I mention Joyse and Myste because I stumble on those a lot, testing out how JOY-zee and MISS-tee feel/sound. Wonder how it all works out for others. Those are the only ones I can think of right now. _________________ Covenant is Linden Frankenstein's monster.

My inclination has been soft g for Geraden and Artagel, as well as Margonal. Hard g for Kragen (all accented on first syllable), and a long a for Kragen.
Silent e for Myste and Joyse.
Barsonage = Parsonage with a b.
Quillon = I vary between Quill-un and key-Ohn (sort of French). _________________ - Woody -

I am inclined toward a soft G for Marogonal as well.
That's crazy. I am reading hard G's where they should be soft, and soft ones where they should be hard. _________________ Covenant is Linden Frankenstein's monster.

Geraden - Sounds like the beginning of Jerry....(if that makes sense ^^)
Joyse - Joice
Myste - Mist (Only because that's how I pronounce my name)
Kragen - Like a cray fish ^^ lol Cray-gen (Sounding like gun but with an 'en' sound like end)
Margonal - Like Margin, but with an O. Margin-OL
Artagel - Art-a-gel (Gel like the beginning of Gelding)
Barsonage - Like the aforementioned Parsonage with a 'b' ^^
Lebbick - Leb-Ick
Quillon - Quill-on (exactly how its spelt ^^)
Obviously I suck at describing how things sound...buuut, if you can all understand that then its all good ^^ |

So the Q makes an M sound, the U is silent, and the second S makes a T sound? Interesting ...

I think it's important to sound out King Joyse's name in one's head as "JOYZZZ"; that way you remember to spell it with an "s" instead of a "c". |

But don't forget the "ee" at the end. That -e is there for a reason! You should pronounce his name like people from Jersey say "Jersey". _________________ * I occasionally post things on KevinsWatch because I am a fan of Stephen R.

It's pronounced like the end of rejoice! If you say it with ZZZZ it sounds like joys and that's belittling our beloved king Joyce. |

So do I.
However, I pronounce the "g"s in Geraden and Artagel in my head as a soft "g" (= "j") sound--simply because I think that's better. |

The problem with your way of mentally pronouncing the King's name, Shadowbinding Shoe, is that it makes you regularly mis-spell it. (But hey, that's no crime, and I always know to whom you are referring! I very much appreciate all your terrific contributions to this forum; please know that!!!) It's not "Joyce" like a woman's name; it's Joyse. |

Surely you jest. If I thought of the King's name as sounding that way, I'd start to annoy myself by imagining he's humming Springsteen and Bon Jovi songs while playing hop-board.
[Edits: I've teased wayfriend about this, but he could be right. "JOY-zee"...hmmm...so by this example his daughter Myste's name would be pronounced to rhyme with "feisty".]

And I want to reiterate, SS, that your valuable, well-thought-out insights are fantastic and are what really count. So, if you still want to spell the King's name as "Joyce", I'll just have to overlook it!  |

No worries Cord Hurn.
I'm not a native English speaker and wasn't familiar with the femalish name 'Joyce' so it didn't bother me the way it did you.
Here's a name-meaning link: http://www.behindthename.com/name/joyce. Seems it's not strictly a female name and contain both the meaning rejoice and lord. The earlier male version was spelled Josse. I'm not sure how Medieval pronounciation makes it sound. Probably Germanic sounding. |

Wayfriend and I are of course referring to the US state of New Jersey, not the place in Great Britain known as Jersey (and I doubt that there they pronounce it as "JOYZ-ee")  |
