1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

    5. This is such a hilarious thread!

      Of course, for me, it's Lahts, Soom, Ayeplehouse, Yi-der, Leekeeworld~ xD More when I can think of 'em!
       
    6. lets see, I've always pronounced it Lutz, eyepullhouse, EEder, LEEKworld, and soom like Zoom, it's really great to see everybody else's take on this though.
       
    7. Luts, ryhmes with sluts or my personal favorite... Luts, ryhmes with boots. Yes, that seems like it would be how I would pronounce that. I suppose it really depends upon the day and the amount of cafeen that I have consumed.;)

    10. Wow, I thought I was bad with Luts=sluts, but nipplehouse just topped me :XD:
       
    11. This conversation should be over LOL
       
    12. sluts and nipplehouse? oh god this thread has blown my mind.
      let's see... to me they are..

      Luts- like sluts, haha
      Iplehouse- ih-pull-house, lol like nipplehouse

      Bobobie- bo bo bee
      Crobidoll- crow bee doll

      Migidoll- mee gee doll
      Homme- hum (sort of like french pronunciation?)
      Ducan- doo can
      Leekeworld- leak world

      Beryl - barrel
      Volks - vuhl ks
       
    13. I tend to pronounce "Luts" as "Lutes" but I always wondered how it was supposed to be pronounced as I get a kind of odd accent when I say it for some reason. This is an amusing thread, I enjoy it.
       
    14. I think Beryl is pronounce Beh-rill though again it might just be how we say in in england. I used to know a girl called Beryl and that was how she said her name. Homme is french so I presume is 'Om hehehe

      I am curious as to how Cuprit is said though? Is it like Cup-rit? or Coo-prit? or...?
       
    15. I pronounce it as just 'Nuts' but with an 'L' like yikesitsmindy
      :)
       
    16. I usually would take my cue from what country the company is from, which is fine for Japanese but I have no clue about Korean pronunciation so I've been saying some of those words wrong for years! Thanks anyone who contributed the proper pronunciations!

      I had been wondering since I saw Cian if Luts meant it as the Irish name or if they had a different pronunciation for it themselves, but since I'm Irish I go with the Irish way- it's KEE-an, less emphasis on the 'an', in fact the a is barely spoken and it can sound more like keein sometimes. It's written with a C because there is no K in the Irish alphabet ^^


      Also, about Crobidoll, they say their name is a portmaneau of 'Cross' and 'Ambition' so crow-bee is the right pronunciation :)
       
    17. Luts... the way i say it rhymes with "cups"
       
    18. I think I'm the only one who does this. I pronounce Cian 'shy-ann'. xDDDDD
       
    19. For me, it's:

      Luts like cuts
      Soom like zoom
      Iplehouse like nipplehouse (Sparrow is a word coining genius)
      LeekeWorld like the vegetable: leek
      Yder like Why-dur (Lame pun popped into my head the first time I saw it :sweat)
      Bambicrony like Bam-bee-crone-ee
      Bobobie like Bow-bob-ee
      Crobidoll like crow-bee
      Beryl like Bear-ill or peril with a b
      Homme like Om (As in om-nom-nom!)
      Cian like See-Ann
      Limhwa like lim-wah
      Pipos like Pip-o's (Sounds like a cereal :lol:)
      Mui like Moo-ee (Like a drunk cow)
      Unoa like you-know-uh
      Lishe like leash
      Migidoll like Mig-ee (Mig sounds like fig)
      Ducan like Doo-can
      Volks like in volkswagen
      Not the slightest clue how to say Domuya
       
    20. I think it's Doh-moo-yah, they call their website Domu-net, and 'ya' is a Japanese suffix added to shops, so 'Domuya' would be like 'Domu-shop'? I know they're based in Singapore, but that's what I presumed they were going for so I use Japanese pronunciation ^^;
