Well, if you learn that someone pronounces them differently, you'll get to snicker behind their back. Big Grin

Man, what I wouldn't give to overhear a Rasalom/Molasar pronunciation debate, but as KRW just posted, I'm much more likely to overhear American Idol updates. I consider myself a huge fan and ambassador of FPW, but there are several of you who are the experts and I generally defer to that knowledge on the board here. And given the way I butcher names when taking attendance, there is no way I trust my own version.

Technically, he may be correct, but I still think of it as having an "s" sound.

You know, yeniceri looks like a Turkish word. I had been thinking of it as sounding like a "j".Smile

I give everyone full liberty to snicker openly if I pronounce Glaeken wrong.

What screws me up is I've seen the ae used and its not pronounced like "eye" so I get confused to the more used pronunciation for it
