Well, some are easy, but some are fairly hard.

Ack - Fee-niks Rite
Edgy - M[ai]ls Etsjwor[th]
Maya Fey - Mah-yah Fey
Mia Fey - M[ai]ah (I know, almost the same thing :o) Fey
Eh? - Dik [G soft]umshoo
Larry - La-ree Butz
Payne - Win-stun Pain
Frank Sawit - Fre[ng]k Saw-eet
April May - Ey-pril Mey (rhymes with Fey)
Redd White - Red W[ai]t

..

These were easy; now for the harder ones:
Grossburg - Mahr-vin Grohsburg
:yanni: - Yah-nee Yoh-gee? I have no clue, actually.
Maggy - Meh-ggee Burt?
Gant - Day-mon Gent
Ini Mimi - Ee-nee Mee-nee (Meanie!)
Matt - Met Ahn-guard
Juan Corrida - [Ch (hard G)]oo-an Coh-reeda


Alright, a bit silly, but it's fun to write them down Larry

I swear I was going to make this topic but forgot... please help me with Dee Va!

Here are some changes (I think these are right):

My-ulls Edj-worth.
May-ya Fay
Me-ya Fay
Eh-Pril May
Red Whyt
Mag-gee Bird hence the pun.
Day-mon Gant
Matt Un-guard hence Pearls reaction.
Joo-an Corri-dor like the hall kind

Well, I'm keeping the pronounciation as English as I can, despite talking Finnish and Swedish..

Some, however, are hard.
-I mispronounce Phoenix all the time. "oe" comes out like an "I" in "girl".
-I can't pronounce Edgeworth, it'll sound like Etsworuth. I call him Edgy-boy, which would sound like Ecchi-boy. ECCHI!
-I pronounce Mia the Swedish way, M-e-ah.
-Even if Maggey is supposed to sound like Maggie, I pronounce it Maggay.
- Ini Miney, I've thought of Eenie Minay, but sometimes, like the song, Eenie Miinii Moo.

And since I'm fluent in Finnish, I of course pronounce the Japanese names the right way. Godot

I'm way to used to Go-dot instead of the proper Go-do.

If I ever talk to people about PW in person, I'll definitely say Go-dot.

Maya Fey - My (as in "hey that's my bike!")-yuh

Mia Fey- Me (as in "That bike belongs to me!")-yuh

and as much as I want to say Go-do, I end up saying God-ot half the time. -_-

Only from here and some random references to it on the net.

I havn't heard it pronounced, and I got used to Godot before getting told it is God-oh. And I personally think that sounds awful.

Names I've mispronounced before several times:

Maya: Meh-a instead of Mai-a
Gant: For some reason I kept adding an "r" and calling him Grant
Godot: I had no idea the "t" was silent for the longest time

Other than that, I think the names are pretty straight forward when pronouncing.

Oh, about Dee;
:dee: : Dee Vahs-kehz - it's not a french, but a spanish name, so no silent letters.

I'm not going into the Japanese names, except that Godot - is Godo, seeing as that's even his Japanese name, and it's right in English.

No that's how I say it too. I just figured it was a pun.

How does everyone pronounce Trilo? long or short "i"? I always say it as "Trailo", but it's supposed to come from "ventriloquist" so... yeah.

I say "Tril (like "thrill")-Oh. That's also how I say it in ventriloquist. I don't know if that's right, I've never been good at pronuncificating things. D:

I always pronounced it 'Tree-low'. Even though it probably is wrong due to the punnage.

Anyway, I know it's supposed to be Ee-nee Mine-ee, but Ee-nee Meanie just flows so nicely.
