I always thought Saira was pretty common?

S as in Sack
Air as in... Air
Rah as in Rack

S-air-rah
I like it.

It sure isn't here, but perhaps where you live :)

Hmm, England.
I think people here are getting bored of traditional names.
I like it.

Sigh-rah is the best pronunciation in my opinion. Like nitt for Knytt, although it's wrong, I know. I just like it the best.

Nevermind.

I guess I'll go with Nifflas' "Saeerah" pronunciation as that's what I initially pronounced it like.
It goes pretty well with Danish, I feel.. At least if you don't want to almost break the flow of the syllables.
It was the same with Knytt for me. Danish has a few word with "Kn" (K pronounced) so the hard "K" sound followed by "n" came pretty natural.

I guess everyone goes with whatever best fits their speech pattern  :^^:

I find myself saying either 'say-rah' or 'sigh-rah', and 'nit' for Knytt.  X)

Moahahaa!

Sa iii ra! :D


Ey, do NOT accidentally say Sa-h-ira. Sahira means like "witch", and not like, woow, a wicca,
but a -witch-, evil, nasty, black arts...

Saira.
Sahira.

Everything's better than Saria - there is another famous videogame-girl going by that name. ;)

Cool! I think Europeans may have an easier time with this. The way you say them is like how I assumed they'd be pronounced, because the phonetics is very similar to my language. :)

Crazy stuff. I never would have guessed to pronounce it like that. X)
I can do it, though, German and Swedish are quite similar, lots of words are equal or similar as well.
I still prefer Sigh-ra, though. :oops:

Saira is pronounced Glarrfsh, like Glah-sma-rahr-fisk.

*amused* Yes, that is the exact sound C'thulu would make if he ever called her name before biting her head off.

Then you can sigh-Ra instead!
It's really not a big deal, as long as you help her find humanity...!
I mean, most people say Nytt instead of Knytt, and everyone knows what they mean.

Perhaps the "true" pronounciation of Saira can be compared to the true name of God.
Jehov-, er, I mean, you know, that name that no one knows. *cough*
We should not seek to utter it. *suddenly she's a godess and I'm religious? Unexpected*
