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.

      Luts: 'loots' or 'luhts,' just depends
      Lishe: 'leesh'
      Yder: 'why-der,' 'yid-er' or 'yeh-der'
      Cian: 'see-an,' 'sigh-an,' 'kii-an'... I'm not sure which one I like best. :sweat

      Iplehouse: 'eyepull-house'
      Unoa: 'ooo-noh-ah' or 'you-no-ah'
      Soom: rhymes with 'zoom' or 'doom'
      Migidoll: 'mih-ghee-doll' (I'm not sure how to write that one *_*)
      Crobidoll: 'crow-bee-doll'
      Bobobie: 'bow-bow-bee' XD
      Ducan: 'doo-can'
      Leekeworld: 'leek-world'
       
    2. This thread makes me laugh. xD Okay, let's see...

      Luts - like "nuts"
      Lishe - lish-eh or lish-ay
      Yder - ee-der or yee-der
      Cian - chee-an or kee-an (pretty those are both incorrect...)
      Iplehouse - eye-plehouse
      Soom - like "zoom"
      Homme Ducan - hom-eh doo-cahn
      Unoa - yoo-no-uh
      Bobobie - bow-bow-bee
      Leekeworld - leak world
      Migidoll - mi-gee-doll or mid-jee-doll
      Bambicrony - bam-bee-crow-nee
       
    3. unoa- OOO-no-wa but my friend calls it oo-na (leaves out the o after the n) >_o
      Obitsu: Oh-bit-sue
      bobobie: bah-bow-bee
      Iplehouse: EEH-pulh-house
      Leekeworld- Lee-key-world
       
    4. I've also wondered how other people pronounce 'Beryl'. It's fairly obvious to me that it's probably 'barrel'. xD Bahaha.
       
    5. Usually I pronounce everything in american way but... If I'm lazy I pronounce like finnish people xD

      Luts : Lust
      Leekeworld : Leekevöld
      Iplehouse : Iplehause
      Unoa : Uunoah
      Bobobie : Bobodie
      Yder : Yyder
      Cian : Siian
      Soom : Suum
      Ducan : Dukan
      Migidoll : Mikidoll
      B&G : Pee et Gee
      Domuya : Domuja
      Beryl : Peryl
       
    6. Luts-nuts with an L
      iplehouse-eeplehouse(think seep) though i sometime say ipplehous(nipple)
      Lishe-leash
      El-elle
      Crobidoll-crow-bih-doll, OR crow-bee-doll, but essentially its the same just how fast im saying it
      SOOM-like doom. i dont see any other possible way.
      Unoa-you know a
      Yder-ee der
      leekeworld-leak world
      Cian-see an
      Dion-dee on
      bobobie- bow bow bee(my friend says it bow bobby)
      migidoll-piggydoll(LOL)
      homme ducan-umm doo can(like you can do it!, my friend says it like humdoocun)
       
    7. My personal pronunciations, right or wrong have been:

      Ipplehouse (like nipple)
      Soom (like doom)
      Bobobie (like boh-boh-bee)
      Leekeworld (like leak-world...like a leaky faucet?)
      Luts (like nuts with an l)
      Yder always sounds norsk when I say it (Yih-dur) but that's me being retarded
      Volks (like a volkswagon. Voh-l-kssss)
      Cian (Like chii-yan)
      migidoll (like midge-y-doll)
      Ducan (Do, can...like a toucan?)
      Beryl (like peril)
       
    8. If anyone is interested, Volks becomes 'bo-ku-su' in Japanese. They have no v in the Japanese language. But I think 'Volks' like the German word is what they intended.
       
    9. hang it all, I just say ''OOOO pretty dolly.'' My pronunciations are as follows: Luts = cuts, Iplehouse = Eye pull house, Soom = boom, Leekeworld = leak world, Volks = Folks with a V, Bobobie = bow like a ribbon bow, bow bow bee, LaTi = do re me fa so LaTi do, LaTi Lumi = Loo me, LaTi Lami = ...fa so LA ti do...me, Unoa = Ooh know uh
       
    10. I've been saying zoom instead of soom forever. It's only just now occured to me that it's an S, not a Z! Opps...^^;;

      I also say eeplehouse, leakyworld, bobbie (or boobie, depending on how funny I'm feeling :B), and Unoa pronounced with a Japanese U instead of a Younoa, so ooonoa.
       
    11. I say 'Luuts' and Iplehouse with a short i n___n
       
    12. interesting. I speak some japanese, so I automaticaly use the japanese noun sounds, and break up the words into sylables to say them.
      so luts would be said like the japanese ル
      and soom would be said with the japanese オ
      (thats just what I assumed. I'm not saying its right)
       
    13. Bahaha, I'm the same way! :sweat
       
    14. Luts- Nuts with a L
      Iplehouse- eh-ple-house
      soom- soon with a m
      lishe-leash
      Narae-nah-ra-eh
      Yder-yeh-der
      Soony-Soo-nee
      Cian-see-an
      homme Ducan- home-duu-can
      migidoll-mi-gee-doll
      bobobie-Bo-bo-bee
      unoa-yuu-know-ah
      also...

      MNF Ryeon - rai-on
      MNF Seorin-Seh-oh-rin
       
    15. i pronounce bobobie beau bob E lol im pretty sure its bo bo bee but when im talking about it i dont think to hard about it and bo bob ee is what spills out of my mouth. i cant help it. it may be because i once knew twins named beau and bobbie
       
    16. I always draw out the u in Luts.....Like an UH sound....Luuuuts.....And use the EEEE sound for IpleHouse, as in the short I....I never gave much thought to Soom....Thought it was like pronouncing Doom or Zoom but with an S....
       
    17. Thus proving Miyavi's silliness even more! :3
       
    18. I've never really thought about it, I just always said it in my head like I did the first time I saw any of the names:

      Luts: like nuts with an L
      Soom: like how you pronounce bomb, anything else sounds weird to me
      Iplehouse: Like nipple
      Cian- like cyan

      I also always wondered how people pronounce a Dollzone Megi, I always said "Meh-Gee"
       
    19. I have some speech problems so I generally mess things up till peeps correct me (thou occasionally its more fun once I know its wrong ;) I used to say "snape" of harry potter as snap :doh )

      Luts : Lutes
      Leekeworld : Leek (as in food)-world
      Iplehouse : E-ple (like second syllable of people)-house
      Unoa : Un-oh-ah
      Bobobie : Bo-Bo-Bee
      Yder : ya-der
      Cian : Sigh-en
      Soom : Zoom but an S
      Ducan : Dunk-en
      Migidoll : Me-Ge-doll
      B&G : Bee et Gee
      Domuya : Doh-moo-ya
      Beryl : Bear-el
       
    20. That's how I say it too. Actually, I wish all the Korean companies had Korean names, Japanese companies had Japanese names, etc... At least then I'd know I was pronouncing them correctly!
