Ellone

[IceAngel]

Recently I've been questioning the way Ellone is pronounced.

I came to the conclusion a long time ago that it was pronouced like the word 'Alone' but with an E at the beginning.
Then i thought it was Ell- one (1) but that to me just sounded silly.
Now i'm thinking could it be pronounced 'Ell-on -ay'?
The computer voice (Microsoft Sam) says that it is said like the name 'Ellen'.

I want to know how everyone else pronounces it.

[Captain Maxx Power]

I'd say it would be pronounced El-Own. However different regional dialects can drastically change the way a word is pronounced. For example I wouldn't pass by the large majority of Americans to pronounce it E-Lone, as if the second L didn't exsist altogether. Name pronunciation is an iffy subject because there's no "correct" manner that it should be done in.

[Twilight Edge]

Due to loads of different pronounciations,it's hard to find the most perefect pronounciation.

I say it as Ea-lone.IMO.

Your quite correct

[Chris]

One of my mom's friends name is actually Ellone. Her name is pronounced: Eel-lone.

[Devourment]

:eep: It's simple..

Ell-on. As if the e isn't there.

Case closed.

[Xurts]

I pronounce it the same way as Maxx Power, El-own.

[Devourment]

Because you're American?

[IceAngel]

I'm British and thats how I pronounced it before I started getting questiony.

[Jimmy Dark Aeons Slayer]

That´s why everyone simply called her El it was much more easy.

[*~Angel Wing~*]

El-Own.
That's how I've always said it.

[Xurts]

Because you're American?
Yes, yes I am.

[Hambone]

Ill-on. Yes, i know it's supid. please shoot me. :)

[BardTard]

I pronounce it like alone too. Why can't the characters in this game talk like in FFX?!?! :( That would be cool!

Maybe, depending on whether or not the voice acting sucks.

[_yeojina_]

Alone. Done.

[G SpOtZ]

Actually, I'm American, and I pronounce it a completely different way. I assumed the two "L"s made a "Y" sound, thus:

"Ey-ohn"

Ohn should be pronounced as the english word, "own."

Even if it's 'wrong', I'm gonna keep pronouncing it like that because it's different, and I personally think it sounds better. Maybe a bit more exotic, I guess.

[IceAngel]

Two L's making a Y sound... thats spanish isnt it?

[BardTard]

yeah that's spanish.

[$howBiz]

i alwayz called her ell-oh-knee & i used to call seifer seafea-er lol & i still call galbadia gal-bay-dia lol

[Shiny]

True, I always pronounce it El-Own though.

[IceAngel]

i still call galbadia gal-bay-dia lol

Me too! Hows that supposed to be said?

[Marly]

I've wondered the exact same thing. But to me its always been el-own

[*~Angel Wing~*]

i still call galbadia gal-bay-dia lol

Me too! Hows that supposed to be said?
Yeah I've always said Gal-bay-dia.

[Xurts]

i still call galbadia gal-bay-dia lol

Me too! Hows that supposed to be said?
Yeah I've always said Gal-bay-dia.
Me three!

[leonheart_blade]

Isn't it pronounced Gal-bay-dia? And I always though Ellone was ell-on-ay...

[sephirothkevbob]

i have always said it el-own

and as for galbadia

i always say it like gal-bay-deer except stretch out the deer a bit more, like gal-bay-deeeeer

[leonheart_blade]

Here's a good one- How do you pronounce Quistis? Did I spell that right?

[BardTard]

like... kwis-tis.
and I've always pronounced galbadia like that too. like gal-bay-dia

[Leen-Leen]

For me,

Ellone: L - Own
Galbadia: Gahl - bah - dia. I dunno why but i always said it like that.
Quistis: Kwi - Tis. Is the S silent? I have no idea ... :P

[IceAngel]

Quistis ~ Kwistis or Kwistus (depends how fast I say it and whether I'm payin attention to the way I say it :P)

[Qurange]

For me, Quistis is 'Key-stis'.

[Xurts]

I pronounce it like "Kwists". Other times I pronounce it "Kwis-tis".

[G SpOtZ]

Considering that it's spelled "GALBALDIA", I pronounce it as "Gawl-bawl-dee-uh".

[sephirothkevbob]

i say quistis like quiz-tiss

[Skyblade]

Either El-own or Ell-oh-nee.

And Galbadia has always been pronounced Gal-bay-dia. How else would it be pronounced?

[*~Angel Wing~*]

Considering that it's spelled "GALBALDIA", I pronounce it as "Gawl-bawl-dee-uh".
Actually it's spelt GALBADIA. You added an extra L.
