“Bane Shee”
:smack: I can’t believe I never got that!
Mine: “LL”, which are my initials, also a lil’ joke about he “el”/she “elle”, and the parallel universe of the interwebs. No “ellie” or “eels”. That same name also has something to do with a gas plant in Saudi Arabia, which I am not involved with, to set the record clear.

PIIIGS IN SPAAAACE!
Like this. Or like “BAM-bi HAASS en fef fer”, if you can’t do sound files.
Ker-ri-ghen
That’s probably too much. Go with “Kerrigan,” as in Nancy. (But not actually as in Nancy, k? Thanks.)
Naba, the "a"s as in cat.
Roo (Like the Winnie the Pooh guy)
Shhhhh (like you’re shushing someone)
OR if you want to correct about it:
**Roo Sh **
uh…Like you’re starting to shush someone, but you cut it off before saying any of the H’s :shrug: It’s kinda like a “shhuh” sound. I’m just over thinking it probably.
So just say it how you see it, and just remember though to focus on the “Roo” more so.
Actually I have a strange issue with this name as for some reason I don’t even remotely read it right. In my head he is always Quagdog the Mercaptan. I have no idea what his name is about so I have apparently morphed it into something that at least resembles what I am familiar with.
Welsh for water, should be pronounced something like du-weer.
But, since I read it in a book many years ago and did not know that when I named my tabby cat, I pronounce it as dwire.
I have that same issue but mines more Dyslexic in nature- I tend to see it as Quag-dop the Mercotan
Ah-leh-SAHN.

Or Nate from Indy

The Muir is like me-your run together quickly.
It may well have been pronounced differently in old French, but that’s the way I’ve always heard it.
Even though the actual name has been explained a million times, I’m afraid that he’ll always be “Quadpog the Mercutian” in my head.
