I've always said it 'Raa-pee-er',and even knowing it's incorrect, I will continue to pronounce it that way, in much the same way I still pronounce Mia 'My-ah' instead of 'Me-ah' and Marcia 'Marsh-a' instead of 'Marr-see-a'.

Until I meet a real person with those names who dislikes my pronounciations, at least...

It's a real word that I used before I found FE, so the "proper" way.

Basically nailed it. Then again, as a kid I read this great big red encyclopedia named ARMS AND ARMOR, so I was a little bit of a sperg about it.

dictionary.com if this was a question

Why... WHY did I laugh? XD

Must have weeb in here.

レイピア

REI-PEE-A

But... in all seriousness... what Kitty of Time there has with my name and "pee" in the same word.

both of these are arguably acceptable.

chalk me up to the "had heard of it before FE" list (i probably pronounce it incorrectly anyway cause I do that for everything)

THIS THREAD IS NOW ABOUT STUFF WE PRONOUNCED WRONG IN FE!!

How do you lot pronounce Sieglinde? I always said it as "See-glin-day" and i think thats actually correct considering the source of the name. Just like Siegmund is "Seeg-mund"

Lughnasadh is an odd one. Isnt it Welsh or something? Anyway i always called it "Lou-nah-sahd(weird throaty noise here)"

Rienfleche to me was "Ree-en-flesh"

Super shocked face happened when RD came out and Narrator pronounced Naesala, Nealuchi, Dheginsea, and Caineghis the same way i did. :o

Also anyone who pronounces Sigrun as "Sig-run" and not "See-groon" is gonna get a boot to the head. :P

Ive known people named Marcia and "Marsha" is how they say their own name. So youre not wrong here.

"MAR-see-ah" is also a valid pronunciation for the name. In fact, that's the one the game actually uses, I believe. I like it way more than Marsha anyway.
