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.

How do you pronounce "Leeke" and other company/sculpt names?

Jan 28, 2007

    1. Ah now....after these years I can now finally find out what I was supposed to be saying.
      I hope , though I think were all stuck.

      Luts - nuts....it just looks that way but I couldnt make myself say loots now.
      Ipplehouse - eyeplehouse , never thought of IPP o.O

      Gunna keep watching this thread. Most useful XD
       
    2. I say it all how it's spelled xD
       
    3. I quite agree! I have always said it like it's a world of leaky faucets. xD
      I've never actually talked to people about doll companies, though, so by 'say' I mean 'think'.

      pepperlooney- I say them the same as you! I could never say them like lutes or (n)ipple house.
       
    4. You are really close there, it is pronounced lee-keh- world if you read the Korean on the site ^^

      I think leaky is close enough XD
       
    5. Apologies for bringing up an old thread, but I couldn't help but join in; :D

      I'd say Cuprit as "Coo-Pri" (sort of sounding French ;)),
      and Homme as " HOM" (as in, NomNomNom :lol: )
      And I agree with how you'd say Beryl - Beh-rill / Berrill (Or like Merrill from Pokemon!)
       
    6. I pronounce Luts like LUUTS but I'm alone here to pronounce this word in this way. A lot of people here in Russia pronounce it L[a]TS.*_*
       
    7. exactly :lol:
       
    8. I agree with berryl and also with homme as 'om, like in french.
      but I would pronounce Cuprit as kew-prit, like the thing you play pool with.
       
    9. I'm spanish so my pronunciations are "spanish-like" or so... xDDD
      At least, that's what I thought, but reading the post here... I'm not so far for the way you say it! ^^UUU.


      Luts- Like in Loots
      Iplehouse- nipplehouse without the n
      Soom- doom with an s
      Crobidoll- CROW bee doll
      Migidoll- MIDGE-ee doll
      Ducan- DOO can
      Leekeworld- LEAK ee world
      Latidoll- LAH tee doll
      Petsha- PET shah
      Twingkey- twinkee
      Puki- POO kee
      Bambicrony- BAM bee crow knee
      Beryl - like peril but with a b
      Volks - like the beginning of volkswagen

      I had to "copy-paste" some of the pronunciations because I couldn't find a word to match my own pronunciation xDD
       
    10. so what about Dot's E-AN?? i pronounce it like Ian. eee-anne(i named my E-an from Dot E-anne). does anyone pronounce it EEN? like lean? or mean? :ablink:
       
    11. Hmm... E-an... I think the right form should be the one you say "ee-anne" but I pronunce it like.... the "e" part like in "pet" and the "an" part like "anne".
      I'm not sure if you understand me xDDD
       
    12. I pronounce E-an as E (the alphabet) - un. Probably 'cos I'm Chinese, and most Asian Languages have a different way of pronouncing the 'a' sound from English.
       
    13. Same for me, although I’m not Asian. (^_^)

      As for Luts… Like “nuts” but with l, I guess.
       
    14. For me,

      Luts = rhymes with nuts XD
      Iplehouse = Eye-pull-house o.o
      Dollshe = Doll-shee (I like that better than 'dollsh'...)
      Migidoll = Meegee doll
      Volks = as in volkswagen

      DOT's E-an = either Eh-ahn or Ee-ahn
      Delf Lishe = I've always pronounced it Lish, but I do like the idea of Leeshay o.o
      Delf Yder = Eedah (I actually found a Korean pronunciation generator of sorts, and it pronounced his name this way. I love it <3)

      That's all I can think of to take note of XD
       
    15. Luts is like Luuts for me, and Ipplehouse is like eyeplehouse :)
       
    16. Hahaha
      Funny thread ;D
      Like alot of people.
      I pronouce it like nuts with a L
      Maybe because I'm dutch.
      I also pronouce alot of english names like someone from holland would do it.
      Nuts with an L, and Iplehouse like Nipplehouse without the N.
      Hehe XDD
       
    17. Luts - nuts but L
      Yder- e-der
      IpleHouse- ay-pel-house
      Soom - sooh-m

      I never knew if I got it right. XD
       
    18. I'm Korean and Luts is pronounced like loots. not nuts with L. Yder is ee-der. not ya der.
       
    19. Once, I was at a convention when I saw a girl who had an Iplehouse doll with her. I was so ecstatic to see an Iplehouse doll in person, that I started to tell my mom and friend about how much I'd wanted a different Iplehouse doll. When I said "eye-pull-house," the girl corrected me by saying "ipple-house." I went from pure excitement to embarassment. :(
      :|

      I say "eye-pull-house," Luts like cuts (though now that I think about it, loots is probably right), homme like home (out of habit D: ), Ducan like doo-ken (except when I mistake it for Duncan xD), Soom like doom, E-An like ee-ann, and Yder like ee-der.
