Arissa Lavigny: Duval: Arissa "La-vinyee" Duval

Edmund Mahon: Edmund "Ma-hon" (though I sometmes say "Maahn")

Denton Patreus: Denton "Pat-trius"

Li Yong-Rui: "Lee" Yong-"Ruee"

Archon Delaine: Archon "Duh-lane"

Pranav Antal: Pranav "An-tal"

Thanks!
 
Well, it could be the American variety (Ed Mahon sounds very American), in which case it's probably right MAH-hon. If it's Irish, it's more like a glottal stop MAH'an.

He's Irish.
It's the green green agricultural economies of Dublin Citadel, and Wicca Town.

Actually how do you apply for a CG? We should get some form of fermented peat Guinness as a rare at Dublin.
 
Here's how I pronounce some of them:

Aisling Duval - Ice-linn Dü-vall

Arissa Lavigny-Duval - Ah-rissah Lah-vee-NEE Dü-vall (ü is pronounced like the French u)

Denton Patreus - Putt-ray-yous

Li Yong-Rui - Lee Yong Roo-y

Archon Delaine - Arch-on Dee-lane

Pranav Antal - Prah-nav Un-tull

Zemina Torval - Tseh-mee-nah Tohr-vall

Achenar - Akh-errn-are (The kh part sounds like the Russian X)

Cubeo - Coo-beh-oh

Eotienses - Eyo-tee-enn-sess

I have no idea how to pronounce Eurybia though.
 
Hello Commander CoyoteXStarrk!

This is generally the pronounciation that gets used in the office:

This begs a related question - is there a single person/team that comes up with names like these and decides how they should be pronounced, or can anyone if the office just go "Hey I got a good name for this guy! Let's call him Hank Delaney!" and then everyone else go "OoOoO nice one!"?

I have no idea how to pronounce Eurybia though.

"Yuri-beya"?

I'm not going to take the time to do all of them, but I suspect most of the names are actual names, which means they have proper pronunciations.
e.g.:
Pranav is of Indian origin meaning Sacred.
Duval is Old French, meaning "from the valley."
Delaine is also French; meaning "From the elder tree grove."
etc.
