    I pronounce Daraius as Dahr-ee-us. Synkarin is Sin-car-in.

    ...My characters;

    Aeral is pretty simple. Air-ul (think al more like rhyming with cull)

    Zayden is also, it just rhymes with Jayden. 

    And Claor is pronounced as Claire.

    Shoo inn or shoe win
    Other than rice, Shuyin makes me think of the Schuykill and I end up pronouncing it incorrectly in my head (a lot of out of towners call it the shoo-ee-kill (instead of sku-kill) so he becomes shoo-ee-win. Stewie-win? Something). 
    Schuylkill, NEVER FORGET THE OTHER L.

    (also oh god, someone who knows what the Skook is).

    Because I'm Australian, and I love my long vowels, I pronounce it: svô(ɹ)ˈaɪ

    Or for those who can't read that... (like me): svaw-EYE, maybe like 'four-EYE', saying 'four' really quickly and lingering on 'eye'.

    But everyone else seems to say it with more emphasis on the first syllable? I guess that's where 'Svo' comes from.

    I always pronounced it EYE-zoon, personally! Fascinating. I hadn't thought of using a short 'I' sound.

    I always say Isune as saying Is-soon, really fast! Some people have said E-zune or Ee-soo-nay to me, though.
    BUT I PRONOUNCE IT AS A VIRAVAIN.

    I can understand "ee-soo-nay" as an option for someone familiar with, say, Japanese. But "eye-zoon" only makes sense if you're an Apple product.

    Me too! The three syllable twist is very popular, I've noticed.

    I pronounce mine with an Sh sound rather than a Ch, so pretty much identical to shade (i.e. a lack of sunlight :p)

    Ah, so you prefer the chaps pronunciation, as oppose to the chaps pronunciation.

    Kaa  - gaa - to

    'Ka' is pronounced as if you were trying to say the name of Kaa the snake in Jungle Book, or Khan without the 'n' sound at the end
    'Ga' is prounounced vaguely like 'gar' as in 'Agar'
    'To' is pronounced like the first syllable in Tornado.
    (To hear how it is pronounced, go here: http://translate.google.com/#ja/en/かがと  and click the speaker icon in the left hand box)

    Haze-on or Hay-Z-on. Lots of trill names have 'ae' in them according to the name generator. Also they love 'ool' noises. I think I saw one name which was ooloolna.

    Heh. Namegen is fun. I remember Phoebus found an Oxcock as a lucidian male option...

    If she hasn't already, I bet @Zouviqil could run an analysis on the syllable database each racial namegen draws from, tell us what real-world languages they resemble most, and then extrapolate what the names can tell us about the races themselves.

    I've always actually pronounced it Mah Co Die
    Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.
