That's a very good question. I've compiled a list of eight of the most difficult-to-pronounce names listed in the name pronounciation thread. Vote for the one you think is the most difficult to pronounce!

I can never seem to even spell Shinigamiryuk name, much less pronounce it. That's why I call her Shini or girly

**draeh** · 01-09-2008, 10:54 AM

How the hell did I make the list?

Now Phil.. I mean Pfeil on the other hand I can understand.

ctrl-f "Crux not found"

What the hey?

**MDFubar** · 01-09-2008, 12:15 PM

They all all hard to say after a few drinks..........isn't everything?

**MasterEditorInChief** · 01-09-2008, 12:38 PM

I believe it's pronounced "Shin-e-ga-mi Ry-uk". Not too hard (then again, I do watch Bleach).

**rage4order** · 01-09-2008, 12:41 PM

You got it Master, when we recruited her to the 8th, it was quite the struggle for everyone at first but it is easiest to just call her Shini.

**Ainselie** · 01-09-2008, 01:16 PM

I thought shinigami was deathnote!

**daithi1** · 01-09-2008, 01:19 PM

I would have said you Arithea

. Not Shini since she's Shini

Pfeil22 · 01-09-2008, 01:32 PM

I voted for daithi1. It's the one name I butchered so bad that I ended up calling him "BigD" to avoid even attempting it again.

**Lorax74** · 01-09-2008, 02:49 PM

I always love the people that say "p fill" or "Phil" when attempting to say Pfeil's name for the first time. I was in stitches just the other day when someone called him Fievel

People often have Problems with my name. usually calling me "Lyramon" like some Pokemon kiddy.

Welcome to Shinigami Ryuk

Name was easy because I was watching Deathnote in JP with English subs only. "Shinigami" means Deathgod while "Ryuk" is the specific gods name.
