[kate_is_goddess]

help please!

Hannelore Knuts
Jamie Bochert
Christina Kruse

Hannelore = Hun-e-laur-e (as in bunny/egg/Laura/egg)
Knuts = K-noots
Kruse = Kroo-se (e as in egg, but shorter)

 

[j'adorekapusta]

^ thanks so much
and what about Bochert?

 

[kate_is_goddess]

is he french? then it would be sth like "Boh-share"...

 

[conspiracy08]

how bout imogen?
and i never get to pronounce tanya's surname
dziahileva

im like "i love tanya diz.... dz..."

 

[dumbfairy]

Imogen should be an easy one for me to descirbe to you but it's so much harder to type a prenounciation! The best I can help you with is:

IM-ə-jən

or possibly im-o-jen

The Gen is the hard part to explain (the more I say it the more it sounds like ghun to me, with a z sound almost a bizarre version of imagine) it's not gen as in gem (precious stone),its softer than that. This is how I would address someone with this name anyway.

 

[conspiracy08]

^ thank you very much!

 

[Manuva]

Is Noot Seear pronounced pretty much as it's written?

 

[lanakau]

Dziahileva = Dsee-ah-hee-lay-va

(I think?)

 

[j'adorekapusta]

Dziahileva = Dsee-ah-hee-lay-va

(I think?)

Not exactly. It's Dya-gee-le-vah.
Dya - like in 'yard'
gee - like in 'go' and 'bee'
le - like in 'met'
vah

i don't know why the put her last name this way in English.

 

[SlovesNY]

Hannelore = Hun-e-laur-e (as in bunny/egg/Laura/egg)
Knuts = K-noots
Kruse = Kroo-se (e as in egg, but shorter)

better:

H (pronounce short) - a (Alive) - nne (dinner) - laur -e

and Knuts:

K - nuts (as in nuts crazy, it's the same pronunciation)

 

[kate_is_goddess]

^Oh sorry, I thought she was German so I assumed her name was pronounced the german way...
