Thread: How do you pronounce .... ???

    How do you pronounce .... ???

    I just had a discussion on how you pronounce the name of one of my favorite heroes, since it is confusing, because of people with various languages might pronounce the name different. I am talking about Shayd.

    Now how do you pronounce it? I am a native Dutch speaker and to me it almost sounds like the Arab boy's name Said, which is pronounced, written in English something as Saeed.

    But then I realize, that the game makers speak English and then it must be pronounced something as Shade.

    And then somebody else came up with another alternative and this really make me frown. Something like Sha It

    Now I leave to topic open, since some might also struggle with another hero's name. Like Cianna, is it pronounces C like S or like K?

    And the French might also pronounce Calvin different.

    What you think is the right way to call the golden flying mage?

    From my understanding, using English pronunciations:
    Shayd - like the English word "shade"
    Cianna - See-ah-na
    Calvin - Kal-ven

    I was responsible for renaming all of the original Golden and purple heroes, for those who remember "back in the day." Calvin wasn't purple back then. Just a lowly blue!

    Some of them changed twice.
    Like cianna was lilli for a time and Saffron was Gorn the Maker for a short time.

    Valla was Iron Helga.
