How do you pronounce ____?
Simple as that. I'm quite curious on how you people pronounce some complex names in the game.
Here's my list.
Ruairi - ru-AR-ee-re
Baol - bay-OHL
Alby - AL-bee
Albey - AL-bay
Rabbie - RAB-ee
Tarlach - TAR-lack
Cichol - see-COAL (a friend pronounces it as kick-haul XDDD)
Cromm Cruairch - KROM kru-AY-arc
Physis - fi-SIS (something like Physics minus the last S)
Connus - con-US
Emain Macha - e-MAIN Ma-CHA
Dunbarton - dun-BAR-ton
Well, that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Re: How do you pronounce ____?
Duude, I always wonder about these, too! Since I'm always on ventrilo, all the people there pronounce it differently as well. But the Koreans there normally clear it up for us =p Anyway, here we go!
Ruairi - roo-ah-ear-ree (I've noticed a lot of people miss the first "I")
Baol - Ba~owl (One syllable, owl as in the bird)
Alby - al-bee
Albey - al-bay
Rabbie - rab-bee
Tarlach - tar-lock
Cichol - sickle!
Cromm Cruairch - crom croo-ark
Physis - like physics, except an "iss" sound at the end like a snake's hiss.
Connous - co-nus
Emain Macha - e-main ma-kah
Dunbarton - dun-bar-ton
Here's another list I've always wondered:
Glas Ghaibhleann - glass gai-blee-ann
Tir Chonaill - teer ko-nail
Ciar - see-ar
Ceo - kay-oh
Fiodh - fee-oh'd (Korean friend said it was phonetically "pee-oh-du" in KR)
Qilla - kill-uh
Gairech - gai-reck
Sidhe Sneachta - sid snee-kah
Peaca - pee-kah
Barri - bear-ree
About all I can think of, too, haha.

Re: How do you pronounce ____?
A while back, I was looking up some of the NPCs names on Behind the Name; I wonder if the "bh" in Glas Ghaibhleann isn't pronounced the same way as in Bebhinn?
