    Well you're never know how it was supposed to be pronounced since they are all translations and/or renames, thus opinion.

    that doesn't mean we can't talk about how others pronounce them. I find it interesting since I never really talk out loud about any ff characters, really.

    tare-uh
    lock
    ed-gar
    say-bin
    go-go
    ooh-mare-oh
    sigh-ann
    gow
    sell-ess
    realm
    stray-go
    mawg
    shad-oh

    I pronounce the name of the green-haired girl who I consider the main character, "tee-nah", as in Tina.

    Locke is an actual name. Lock isn't. Woolsey added the e to make it look less stupid. They're prnounced the same, but one is a real name, while the other is a noun. Look it up.

    Random trivia time! It is pronounced "Lock" seeing how he is more then likely named after the English Enlightenment thinker John Locke who had it pronounced the same way.

    Heh ive never meet another person who calls Locke 'Lock-ee'. Thats cool. I pronounce Sabin as 'Saa-bin' and Celes as Sell-es. Gau is a weird one, I usually pronounce it as 'Ga-oo'. The rest of them I say the same as boys from the dwarf.
