Name pronunciation
Well, I figured that there are some here that might pronounce my name differently than I do and it got me to thinking. With all the odd names we have developed here, some are open to a bit of pronunciation differences.
So, what are some names here that you're not too sure of? How do you pronounce yours? How have others said yours that's not quite right? I pronounce mine Dray-kuh

Okay, here are just a few of some people's names that can be questioned as to how to say (my take in parentheses):
Engyo (no idea) eudaimonia (you-day-moan-ee-uh) Halcyon (hal-see-un) angellous evangellous (ann-jel-us ehv-ann-jel-us)

Oh...I pronounced your name in my head with a short a too.
The ones I'm not sure about are: Mestemia fantome profane - the first part of course

I went back and forth on the long and short A, Draka
 I would have thought that someone would mispronounce mine, so here it is: it's Jen-two.

Mine should be easy to figure out.
I did wonder if your name was intened to have a long or short "a" Draka. Now I know.
