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

I pronounce Luts with a short u-sound.. Like the japanese u. Sure it's wrong though.

And I start to get used to pronouncing Volks Voruk(u)su or no one will understand me.

Unoa - same thing, short U, then noa and the o is also japanese o.

 

Luts: Luhts, I've heard it pronounced loots a lot though.
Iplehouse: Eye-pull-house
Lishe: Lee-sha. Only I pronounce the 'a' more like 'eh'
SOOM: Doom with an 's'
Supia: Soup-ee-ah
Unoa: Oo-no-ah
Yder- Eye-der
Leekeworld: Leak-world
Cian: Cy-an
Bobobie- Boe-boe-bee

 

Luts: rhymes with Nuts
Iplehouse: EYEpulhouse
Lishe: LEE-sh (rhymes with jeesh)
SOOM: rhymes with doom and gloom
Unoa: (I switch the o and the n in my head) OO-oh-nah, but when I correct myself I think of it as OO-no-ah (and then I think "you know her?")
Yder- Yeh-der (like better with a d instead of t's)
Leekeworld: Leaky-world (like a world with untightened faucets)
Bobobie- Bo-Bo-Bee

That's my two cents. But I was chatting with a friend about "Luts" (like nuts) and she had no clue what I was talking about then went "OHH Luts! (like loots), then I got confused

 

Since it's ok to discuss pronounciation of dolls in here too - what are your takes on Elfdoll Soah and Sooah?

 

Luts = Lutts. Like, mutts. haha
Iplehouse = Eyeplehouse.
Oh, and the Soah / Sooah thing: So-Ah and Soo-ah. I just say it the way they`re spelt. xD

 

Luts : rhymes with butts
Soom: rhymes with boom
EYEplehouse

the nipplehouse suggestion kinda freaks me out

har har

 

I say it like its said.. Pet-Sha

What about twingkey? Everytime I say twingkey.. everyone thinks Im saying twinkie

 

I was wondering, I know I'm probably not using my phonics correctly, but how do you pronounce "Feeple". It's been on my mind, I think I'm pronouncing it right, but I'm not exactly sure.

Is it "Fee-pul" or "Fee-plee"?

 

nipplehouse.. *snerks*

I say Sew-ah for Soah and Sue-ah for Sooah.

 

I say fee-pul

 

Luts = Lust
Iplehouse = Ipple (cripple, nipple, ripple, etc.) house
Soom like doom
Leeke = Leak, leek
Yder = EYE-der (sometimes ee-der. Depends on how lazy I feel, really. When I think about it, it's eye-der. But just to read it, I want to pronounce it ee-der)
Migidoll = Migg ee doll
Latidoll like the expression, "La-ti-dah"
Crobidoll = crow bee doll
Ryu... is like in japanese. Like you're saying something that starts with R but correct yourself to say "you". Just... quickly.
Lishe = Leash
Cian = She Ann
Unoa = You no uh
Ducan = Duke Ann
Twingkey is like Swing key...but with a T. Yeah, the Twinkie dilemma.
Petsha = Pet Shah
Soah = So ah
Sooah = Sue ah
Volks like Folks
Ryeon = Re-own
Feeple = Fee-pull


Here's a tough one. Raam. I pronounce it Rahhhhhm. Making sure the "ah" is extended for as long as possible without making me totally feel awkward, and emphasizing it. But man, if that isn't one of the most awkward sculpt names to pronounce

 

Luts - like sluts without the s... XD
Iplehouse - eyeplehouse... The beginning kinda sounds like "maple" like a maple tree or maple syrup...
Latidoll - la-tee-doll
Migidoll - mee-gee-doll
Bobobie - bo-bo-bee
Yder - yai-der
Soom - like zoom only with an s...
Cian - like the colour cyan.
Lishe - lish-shay
Unoa - ooh-know-ah
Ducan - Doo-kin
Feeple - Fee-pull
Leekeworld - Leek world (which constantly reminds me how much I can't stand the taste of leeks... D: )

It's funny 'cause I tend to pronounce things according to the Japanese alphabet, but then sometimes I get a weird Irish lilt so even as I try to hear myself in my head, it could come out a bit different when I actually say it... XD

 

Aha, I'm totally going through and saying these under my breath now. I'm surprised they've not started to do that word-stops-making-sense thing. I've wondered. This is really interesting!

 

Luts's original pronounciation is L + oots. (Sounds like Roots with 'L'. ) ^^
However, the [oo] sound is short. (there is no long or short vowel sound in Korean)

Most of Pronounciation guess is right~ ^^

LEEKE [Li-ke] = [Ke] sound is from 'NEver' .
Yder = Original sound is [Eeder]. It sounds as 'Even''s first E sound.
Cian = It sounds [Ki-An]. [Ki] sounds like 'KEY' .
Feeple = refer to 'people'. ^^

 

I pronounce TwingKey as Twin Key. For some reason, I leave the 'g' out. =X

I can't seem to get Ipplehouse to stick as 'eyepullhouse' in my head.

 

I feel like a knob knowing I pronounce all these names in my head incorrectly! My biggest goofs:

Luts - guts, mutts, butts P
Lishe - rhymes with dish
Narae - I used to think Nair-ee now I use Nah-rey but Catrina of Doll Fair had a post about pronouncing it. Even after reading that I can't say it correctly.

 

I have no idea why I do this but I always pronounce "Lishe" like Lish-ey. And Yai-der for Yder. God knows why. I cant even pronounce bobobie. Its a tongue twister. lolol.

 

Luts = Like nuts with an L
Soom = like doom
Iplehouse= Eye-plehouse
Yder= Y (like Why) Der. Y-Der in other words.
Lishe= Like leash
Cian= Cyan like the color
Unoa= Oo-no-ah
Dolkot= Doll-cot (you know, cot, like the baby bed? :/)
Crobidoll= Crow-bee-doll
Narae= Na-rah-eh (ie: Typical Japanese phonetics, because that's just the way it looks to me)
Leekeworld= Leek-world
Latidoll= Lah-tee-doll
Migidoll= Like 'midget' just no real emphasis on the d. Midgi-doll... kinda XDDD


I know like probably like RAPE all the names haha, but that's just how I say them >.<;

 

Luts = nuts with a L instead on an N
Yder = Yee - dur?
Narae = Nuh - ray
Homme = Hoh - may?
Cian = See in
Heliot = He lee oh
Beryl = Brr (it's cold!) el
Lishe = Lish-ee, Leash, or Lish?

 

Well, for me, I reason that Luts is "loots" because if it were "luhts" it would be spelled Lutz... in my brain at least. XD

I pronounce just about everything the same as gridbug does, excepting that for me Cian is "Sheean" really fast. XD
