J'onn J'onzz pronouciation

[Kensei]

I had just had a totally random thought- how exactly is the Martian Manhunter J'onn J'onzz's name supposed to be pronounced? Does it sound like "John Johns," or like "Jay-on Jay-ons"? I know his human guise calls himself John Jones. Always been curious, just never asked anyone before.

Oh, great. I spelled "pronounciation" wrong in the thread title. Sorry.

Like John Johns, just with a glottal stop after the J.

[SuperCooper]

Pronounced Y-on Y-onz, with a heavy Swedish accent.

I'm pretty sure the official answer is that it's pronounced "John Jones".

That said I can't stop myself reading it as "John Johns"

There's a cartoon that was AMAZINGLY POPULAR a few years ago that answers this question.

Actually, you got it wrong twice =)

The J is soft, like the French pronunciation of "Jean"

So it almost sounds like Shawn Shones, with more of a J sound.

The way they say in the animated movies/series... J'onn J'onnz... (john Jones with the emphasis on the j's)

[Namtab]

I've always pronounced "J'onn" like "Jean" as in "Jean-Luc."

You also spelled J'Onn J'Onzz wrong, but most people do that.
