The following is how you pronounce the ships' names in Eve. If you're doing it another way, you're doing it wrong.
Jaguar - jag you ah (not jag waar)
Harbinger - Har bin jur (it's a soft G)
Myrmidon - mier* ma don (mier as in pier)
Abaddon - ur bad'n (not abba don)
Rokh - roak / roke (as in toke, spoke)
Bhaalgorn - Barl gorn
Machariel - Mack arr ee al
Maelstrom - Male strom
Archon - Arr kon
Chimera - Ky* meer ah (* as in eye, hard C, silent H)
Nidhoggur - Nid Hog ger (hard second G)
Huginn - Hew gin (hard G. Hew as in Jew)
Astarte - Ass start ay
Sleipnir - Slep nier (nier as in pier)
Ashimmu - ash ee moo
Cynabal - Sine ah bal (bal, not ball, almost like "bull")
Gila - Gee la (hard G)
Exequror - ex-ek curer
Scythe (siith - elongated i, as in eye, sky, fly etc. IT'S NOT SKITH-EE!! The C is silent)
Naglfar - The closest most people can pronounce it correct is Nag-gul-far (both Gs are hard)
Kitsune - Kit soon
Arazu - Arra zoo
Charon - Keiron (as in the name, witht he "on" bit pronounced with emphasis). Keer-on.
Fenrir - Fen rear
Succubus - suck you bus
Zealot - Zel ot
Cerberus - kebber us (I've never heard anyone pronounce that correctly, even me)
Deimos - Daymos (although dye-mos is also used)
Muninn - Mew-nin (Mew as in Jew)
Iteron - It ur-on
Rhea - Rear
Oneiros - the closest I can type it as, is it sounds similar to "buena" but without the B.
Scimitar - Sim it arr (the C is silent. It's not a skimitar. People who say that are skimitards).

Where did you get these from? Because they are, quite frankly, wrong. Unless we are talking about a pronunciation of "rear" like "rea".
Af for oneiros, IIRC greek had a hard S, so no idea where you got your "uena" from.
Hint: these names are supposed to be spoken in latin/greek.
And add this to the fact that english has by and large lost all its original (18th was the last time this was fix'd, I recall) laws of pronunciation, at least, de facto.

I think you should state that you would be doing it wrong *if* you were trying to pronounce those names in English. In other languages they are pronounced differently! _______________________________________________ The ShadowMaster -

Since it doesn't have the accented T, it is "soon" rather than "sunT", although you are correct. --

Both are correct. Linkage I've never heard anyone in the US pronounce it "jag yoo ah". Pretty sure that's a UK or Euro way.

Not entirely sure on this one... it's a variation on "Roc", which is pronounced as such.

Rokh - rock Naglfar - exactly the way it's spelled: nag'l'faar (stress on both syllables) Charon - ˈkɛːrən Fenrir - exactly the way it's spelled: fen'rir Cerberus - ˈsəːbərəs Deimos - ˈdeɪmɒs Rhea - rēə, riə, or ˈriːə Oneiros - exactly the way it's spelled (Ὄνειρος)

I think Rokh is more like "rook" in its pronunciation, but arabic has an even more geographically fragmented pronounciation than english.

Cerberus is just - "Sir-beh-russ" isn't it?
Oneiros? No idea, I say it - "O-near-us" but that's probably wrong.
I do actually said Abaddon right, but I prefer the Americans way of saying it which is usually "Abba-Don" I think it sounds cooler and easier to say.

Nope. Its Kerberos. Its a k sound, not a c sound, and certainly not an s sound.

In any case I cleaned it up for our Gram-Are Nah-Zee

Depends if we're talking about the Greek Κέρβερος or the Roman Cerberus. The Latin name was (classically) pronounced the same as the greek, but changed to an "s" sound during the middle-ages. ——— “If you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡… you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.” — Karath Piki |

Great, now we only need everyone to get to know those notations and how to pronounce them, as, well, there are a lot of languages that simply lack the sounds to pronounce these names.
