Tomayto/Tomahto: How do you pronounce...
After learning that 'Daken' is pronounced 'Dah-ken' (thanks I was wondering), years of pronouncing it 'Sub-Marine-er', and even my brother's attempts to convince me it was 'Magnet-oh' (I never bought that one though) I thought an all-purpose character/name pronunciation thread would be helpful.
Are there any names that you know are comonly mispronounced when said by fans/readers? Any names you're not sure you're saying right? On a slighlty related note for years I misread 'Latveria' as 'Lavteria' and for some odd reason I always thought it was 'Miss Marvel' and not 'Miz Marvel'. No idea why that one escaped me. |

I'm reminded of a Gen X gag: Dr. McCoy, how do you spell "Sat-Yr-9"?

Well Daken always bugged the Hell out of me. So it's Dah-Ken? As in Dackin?

The M'Kraan crystal from the Shi'ar empire!
The old cartoon pronounced it "Em-Krawn", while one of the video games kept calling it "Mic rawn". Hated the video game way even though, for all I know, it could be correct! |

I always read it as Em-Krawn like the 90s show said it.
Ooh Magneto's 'real' last name: Lehnsherr. Is it Lense-hair? Lenn-share? |

LOL Well duh. It boiled my blood when I heard all those uneducated people pronounce it "The Dark Night". Shame.
Speaking of Moony, how do you pronounce that God who gave him his powers? |

Ooh good one! I pronounce it 'Nay-more'. I almost don't want to know for sure for fear I'm wrong. I'd hate to have to pronounce it differently. lol |

"Nay-mor" is what I've been going with as well, I just wasn't sure.
