Teneniel Djo - ta-nee-nee-ul jo
Gilad Pellaeon - gil-ad pelly-on

Non-English speaking people don't have these troubles...

 

*electronic raspberry*

These are the ways I pronounce them. Non-dictionary format.

That's how I say it.

 

up, I say!


And I just found ants in my cereal! Ants!
Cut to scene in Mean Girls when Regina finds out what she's really been eating:
"Mother-" *spits out food*
*long drawn out scream*
Yeah, that's me right now.
Now I have to throw it all away! Nice, delicious, healthy Frosted Mini-Wheats!
*eyes turn yellow*
Now I shall grab some ant killer, hunt down some ants, and watch them die slowly and painfully! Muahahaha! Revenge is mine!

My new Sith name: Darth Raid

 

I don't think there is standard pronunciation, at least everyone I talk to pronounces names differently according to accents.
But then again, there could well be.
But my name for example is Rhiannon (Rhi for short.)
And I get:
Ree-ann-on (My preferred)
Rhy-ann-on (I HATE this one...)
Ree-ANE-on (I also HATE this one...)
So I guess as thus, the names of Star Wars are what you make of them.
Or if you REALLY want to know, listen to the Star Wars audio versions of the books.
The narrator should pronounce them correctly I guess...

 

welcome, Lord Raid

 

must...kill...ants

*fires up Death Star*

BOOM!

oops...no more house

Where's my kitty? Oh, I hope he's ok!

Yeah, I don't know if there are standard pronunciations, either. I'm just curious about how different people say different names.
And, no, uh-uh, no way am I getting any audio books. They are evil! j/k
I just need to be able to see the words in front of me, that's all.

 

Yeah, it is nicer when you know HOW to say things.
But I guess it'll always be different according to accents.
Like
"Bah-th"/"Barth"
In England, where people up north say "bath" as the first, and southerners say "barth"...
