The worst is when you read a book or series when you're young and pronounce it in your mind one way. Then they make a movie or something and it's pronounced very different, and you end up just staying mad about it every time you hear the other version.
Get out of my fucking head.
And then you listen to the audiobook and realize it's just a super fucked up way of spelling steve
Ah yes, Menzobananazan
There's always money in the Menzobananazan, Michael
A surface dwelling dark elf society that’s established a sizeable banana empire in the tropics of Faerun.
toddlers have it figure it out, just call them nana and move on
I listened to the audio books, so I can pronounce it but I can't spell it
I read the first few Wheel of Time books, then got the audio books for the next 8 or so, and when I first made the switch, I spent a good quarter of a book having to re-learn who all of the characters were, since I'd been mentally mispronouncing so many of them.
Eye of the World as an audiobook sounds horrible. I've always assumed Jordan brought books 1-3 to a publisher and that's how the series got published.
I read the books 4ish times. 1st time, RJ died so I took a few years off and read it start to finish on my 2nd attempt. Another couple years pass, and I got to book 10 and couldn't do the hunt for Falie again. Stopped. My last attempt was last year. I got to book 4, and then my kid got a PS5 for christmas. I was a real gamer back in the day, and I read all day at work, so I just stopped. I don't read recreationally at all now. It's kind of like how the last thing a chef wants to do when they get home is cook.
Anyway, there's no way in hell that I'd ever pronounce the names right. Some of the more intuitive ones, maybe, but the rest? I'd probably blunder.
Recently read a book about chernobyl, and this was at least 50% of the Russian names for me

I can't think of any character like that off the top of my head, but yeah, I've done that

The mining gnomes are the worst. And no I won't attempt to spell them.
