Pronouncing Lothere names

Since I'm jumping in with both feet around here, I figured that I'd go ahead and ask a question that's been on my mind since the beginning:

How are most of these names pronounced?

I've seem some posts here and there about it, but only enough to convince me that I'm definitely doing it wrong. It might be too late now--the bad ways are probably imprinted on my brain--but it never hurts to ask, right?

The one that took me by surprise was Egelric

I thought it was pronounced
E-gel-ric
it's actually pronounced
Ege-wick

I'm sure there's a blog post somewhere on this.

Found it

Embarassed Well, I'm embarrassed. I did a search and I thought I had read through all the back Verso posts, but...I guess I didn't. Figures.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Smile

Just for you, Lea, Crazy Laugh I added a new page with an up-to-date list of pronunciations:

Wow. Thank you. Mr. Green

Now I'll just have to see if I can break bad habits and read things correctly. (Probably not--but at least I'll know the right way.)
