As no one has put a question this week I will take over! (First this community then the world!)

How do you pronounce it?

I often face unusual names in LNs so sometimes I make up strange pronunciations. Are there any you would like to share or get the communities opinion on?

I am a bit dislexic about the names. I usually read the first letter, guess the rest and be surprised later that the name is totally different than I have read for the whole book/series.

I think I only remember that I used to spell Hirschur from bookworm totally different than it's spelled but it was couple of years ago. I am reading it like this /xirʃt͡ʂur/, almost like "szczur" in polish
