@Espy hooo boy. vzhod is just 'east' in my native language so it's like.... oo-(z)hohd? it's impossible to explain i'm so sorry. for voirrey, i end up pronouncing the first part in a french way if that makes sense lol
and i'm not even gonna try with ahuizotl because honestly, i don't know where to start

but nah i'm totally cool with having a magikarp in my lair

Do you guys find this happens more when you name your own dragons or when you buy them from the auction house? I usually give mine pretty straightforward English names, but I've definitely seen quite a few like that while I was shopping around

This definitely is more of a thing when I name my own. Least, it used to be, as I mentioned, back when I still went with one naming scheme in one language for each brood.

...Nowadays my names are just "oh okay that works and sounds good LET'S DO THAT"

I have two Coatl's named after Aztec dieties. They're not too bad for Aztec names, but at the same time, Tlaloc can be a bit of a tongue twister.

Except maybe with more of a z sound than an s?

All my dragons have little pronunciation guides in their bios, because I made most of their names up. However, I'm not sure if they're all correct... Especially on dragons that were named by other people. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=11211900] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/112120/11211900_350.png[/img] [/url] Raed-nee? Ride-nee? (I say the second one.) [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=578844] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/5789/578844_350.png[/img] [/url] Aeyth? Ieyth? Idk. Very confusing. I put pronunciations anyways, but I dunno which is right.

@Doggo Hmmm, I don't really know if any of my dragon's names are all that hard to pronounce, and honestly, I'm probably saying them wrong myself! But I do have some dergs named after things in Vietnamese, which are deceptive! They don't sound how they look at all! I know how they sound since I grew up with the language, but others might have trouble. >.>; This is Tuyet (kinda like "thweek"). It means snow, and it's part of my Viet name (Tuyet Nhi)!

It's part of a phrase that can mean the color blue or green (depending on what other words are accompanying it).

I don't have this problem because I finalize names for my dragons based on what sounds right, so I say the name aloud first before I name them :P

Probably the only name people might have trouble reading is Asughaw because I just mashed two different words for "blue" together to get his name lmao (its a-soog-HOW)
