I pronounce it Gill-Add Pel-Ay-Yun

But then, I'm Canadian.

For me, I've always read Pelly's first name as having a soft "G" - "Jill-ahd Pell-ay-ahn." The fact that the NEGtC has a "G" instead of a "J" suggests I've been doing it wrong, though.

I skimmed back over the thread so apologies if I missed a previous discussion of this one:

How do you pronounce Mirax?

Well Havac's is substantially different from Horseys or mine, which are pretty similar...

I pretty much debate with myself between Meer-ax and My-racks and can never decide. The "y" is the key but I can't decide which way it should go.

Well, I've only seen that real world name in print, as Gilaad Ben Zoma (from some old ST:TNG novels), and have been pronouncing HIS name that way, too.

I pronounce it cah-eh-doos

By the way the word caedus is based on the latin word caedes=to slaughter.

I'm a native speaker of a language that descends from the latin (portuguese) so I must be close to the right way to pronounce it... wink
