    Ellone

    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.

    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.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    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

    The world of silence maybe a cold and bitter one; like the deep wastes of the arctic regions, it is fit for neither man nor beast. Holding one’s tongue may be prudent, but it is an act of rejection; silence build walls – and walls are symbols of failure.

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