Character name pronunciations

What about Qhorin Half-Hand? I pronounced it Korin.

I use qu-orin as Q and H together kind of make the QU sound

I agree with most of the ways everyone has said they pronounce the names...except for Cersei. I always thought her name would be said like "ker-see".

You were wrong Ericka, George says so.

 

[erickad71]

I don't care...I'm still gonna say it the way I want. hehehe

Good Lord, that's headache material there.

I still don't care.

Clever tongue-twister though...

The men of the nights watch:

Jarmen Buckwell - Yar min
Ser Denis Mallister - Dennis although the French would pronounce that Den ee as they do the saint of the same name

Say what? Where do you get the "yar?" It makes him sound like a Swede.

I pronounce it the same. Odd. Most "j"s are silent for me.

 

[Lacedaemonian]

The Spanish pronounce the J as H. Some european countries pronounce the J as Y. Yon Bon Yovi...

 

[hodor]

In France we pronounce J as a G and I as and E. So when people say the name Jason it sounds odd as heck.

Yeah, that would weird me out. Of course, nobody can bastardize a language like the Americans! So I guess I can't judge...

Sorry to drag this thread from the dungeons of this forum but I was just wondering how everyone pronounces R'hllor?

Please excuse me if I'm being a bit dim-witted but it just niggles me and I have no idea how to prounounce it, so far I've been going with

Roller, not like the decorating tool but like holler, as in to shout loudly.

I would appreciate anyone's input on this.

Muchas gracias

I pronounce it "ruh-lorr."

 

[red_temple]

I pronounce it "Dennis."

 

[Adasunshine]

Ah, how strange that is, I pronounce red_temple 'Dennis' too!



BTW, thanks AU, pretty much the same way I pronounce it, I just wrote it down very badly!

[red_temple]

Absolutely!!! When in doubt, go with "Dennis."
