Fellow MCL addicts,
I have no clue as to why this crosses my mind after being so far in the game...but I just thought I'd share my pronunciations of the guys' names with you. I've heard it differently on YouTube walkthroughs but before I hear them I already made up my mind!
Ohkay.
Castiel = Cass-tee-el. Like off of "Supernatural" but I didn't even hear of that show until maybe a month ago and I've been on MCL for like 2 years. TWO YEARS HAVE I WASTED MY LIFE ON MY CANDY LOVE.
Nathaniel = Nuh-than-yul. I always liked this name. I am a big fan of traditional names, since my real name is Elizabeth after all...I prefer this name above Nathan or Nate. Nathaniel suits Nathaniel well.
Kentin = Ken-tin. Some people say Ken-ten but that just makes me think of "Ben Ten" which Kentin actually does look like Ben...I've always referred to Kentin as Kentin, even when he was called Ken. I am a lover of full names. Funny how he considered the nickname "Ken" insulting. I was confused until just this week where I thought of Barbie's "Ken". Is that why it is so insulting? Because maybe people considered my candy as Barbie and Kentin as Ken. And the Ken in the "Life in the Dreamhouse" series (I apologize now for the link. I'm 19 and I think I've watched the whole series *shame*) is head over heels for his love...like Kentin and my candy. He would go above and beyond, showering his affections over Barbie--like Kentin engulfing my candy with his love. I don't know if Barbie's "Ken" has anything to do with Kentin's nickname but to me it makes sense.
Lysander = Li-san-dr. I've kind of associated this name to be more African American than Caucasian. I heard of the name before I met him and when I saw him in his glimmering white skin (Twilight, anyone?) my jaw dropped to the floor. I sometimes still find it awkward associating his name with his skintone. But I wouldn't give him any other name, either. He's too unique in every aspect.
Dajan = Day-jin. No, I wouldn't prefer to name him Lysander because Dajan suits him well.
Dakota = Duh-coe-tuh. Like the states. I prefer his nickname over his full name, a rare commodity, only because I constantly envision Dakota Fanning if I refer to his full name. Hey, at least they both have long blonde hair.
Jade = Jade. Green, like everything about him. Wut. Wait. No. Just move forward...
Leigh = Lay. Like Lays chips. Haha. It could be Li (Lee) but one of Amber's boos is named Li. So I figured Lay would suit him. I actually want to call him Cy for no reason whatsoever.
Alexy = Al-ex-see. The makers of mcl just HAD to add the "y". Alexy just sounds weird to me. The makers of MCL probably wanted to make it sound more feminine considering his sexual preferences. Like adding the "a" at the end of a word to make it feminine in Spanish--Ramon vs Ramona.
Armin = Arr-minn. Ha. Get it. Like he's "armin' up" for a battle...because he plays so many video games...Sheesh. Tough crowd. That's all I've got to his name, though.
Boris = Bore-iss. Pronounced like Aurora borealis but silent what's crossed out. Yup. Hold up, (let me take a selfie) did I just use the word "silent" as a verb? Meh.
Mr. Faraize = Mister Fuh-rayz. Maybe it could be pronounced better, but I'm too American and English-speaking to try.
^^^Of course I mentioned Mr. Faraize, my favorite character xD
So concludes my pronunciations of the guys' names. Comment it up if you have better suggestions! I am clueless here. Thanks for reading :)
