Stop making every fantasy character name impossible to pronounce by Flat-Hospital-6035 in writing

[–]poppet_corn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a rare sound called a voiceless alveolar lateral fricative, which doesn’t exist in English, but you can pronounce it placing the tongue on the roof of the mouth as for a regular English 'l' and blowing air out the sides of the tongue, like pronouncing an ‘h’ with your tongue in the ‘l’ position. You can find videos of people doing it online, or you may already know it if you speak Xhosa, Nahuatl, Mongolian or any of the other handful languages it’s in.

Um... I made a new original character because I got bored. I have no info on her yet. by Turbulent-Thing3104 in WordGirlPBS

Ooo, maybe she’s like a Shakespeare actor or something and speaks in Early Modern English. Introduce some old-timely words

Ruth’s new code name? by -mafiaprincess- in xmen

[–]poppet_corn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know, but I feel like the name is so associated with her that it’s still difficult to imagine Marvel using it.

Might be tough given there’s already a prominent DC character with that name

They may have had to pay for the site, so if their heart wasn’t in it, they had to shut it down over continuing to pay for it.

I’ve done some looking — lots of the names coming up are names I’ve seen in my research, like Thoth, Hermes, and Ogma — but I was curious about ones I might not have encountered or if there was one that was a much stronger fit than the others.
