I may need help saying the Draconic word for Hero then since I am having trouble saying `Seian`. (I have been practice saying `Vilzriquathtor` though.) The name I used was `Frozen Hero` in Draconic.practicalshorty014 wrote:I've done it five times, dunno what makes it hard to pronounciateDarkMatt wrote:Give it a try.practicalshorty014 wrote:But what if other people can pronounce it
Nope, don't know why you asked, but I have other stuff to do.DarkMatt wrote:Are you even going to be in the other group?practicalshorty014 wrote:I've done it five times, dunno what makes it hard to pronounciate
I think he means it is pointless to know how to say a player's name if you are not going to be playing in the group that the player is in. Being able to say `Frozen Hero` in Draconic in most cases would not help unless you played and had to say someone's name who happened to be that. In my case, My character's name is such. Everyone knows I am bad at names, and I think it may not have been wise to not use the Draconic Name Generator.practicalshorty014 wrote:Nope, don't know why you asked, but I have other stuff to do.DarkMatt wrote:Are you even going to be in the other group?practicalshorty014 wrote:I've done it five times, dunno what makes it hard to pronounciate
Easy =/= logical.MECHDRAGON777 wrote:Since everyone is struggling to pronounce `Vilzriquathtor Seian` I will say something off topic. I was told to start playing "ELder scrolls V: Skyrim" about a day or two ago, and since I am bad with character names, I actually made a High Elf with the same name. I have been practice saying said Draconic name every day because of this. Reading her name is easy, saying it randomly is a bit tricky without practice, but that is true for any complicated name. As for saying it, it is just four syllables, so how hard could it be? I have been saying it `Vilz` - `ri` - `quath` - `tor` and I even learned how to spell it with ease in less than ten minutes. (I believe it took me maybe three minutes.) I think people should at least try to pronounce it before saying Draconic names are unpronounceable.
A character raised by dragons should be given a name by the dragons that raised said character, her name is in the Draconic language and means "Frozen Hero"Megar wrote:or just go with a name that doesn't look like it was vomited out of the bowels of hell
It is easy to spell after trying to pronounce it. I only consider a word hard to say if I try to read it and I struggle more than a half a minute. As for spelling, I am a terrible speller, yet I can spell her name. (Both English and Draconic).TLtimelord wrote:Easy =/= logical.MECHDRAGON777 wrote:Since everyone is struggling to pronounce `Vilzriquathtor Seian` I will say something off topic.

And no, your name is not easy to pronounce or spell, whether or not you show people how to pronounce it.
