How do you pronounce "Eladrin"?

[WayneLigon]

Maybe I'll use eh-LAY-drin, but I'll most likely use 'Grey Elf'.

 

[Thornir Alekeg]

ee-LAH-drin

This is how I pronounce it as well.

 

[RangerWickett]

There's no apostrophe in Drizzt. I see it often enough that I wonder if it's a joke at the expense of fantasy naming conventions, or if it's a conflation of the apostrophe in Do'Urden.

eLAHdrin.

e (as in dead)
LAH (as in Lola)
drin (rhymes with pin)

Deadlolapin.

 

[Nellisir]

EL-f

 

[Benben]

What he said.

edit: essentially Aladdin with an extra "R"

Another vote for e-LAD-rin, with all short vowels.

 

[Grymar]

Close to the second choice, but

ee-LAH-drin

Naw, just my complete and utter ignorance on the subject matter. Which I willingly and gleefully admit to. In any case, I cannot fathom how a pair of zed's gets pronounced as ess.

Otherwise, I agree with you as to how it should be said.

Oh, and one last thing:

EHN WURLD!!!!!!!!

 

[RigaMortus2]

EL-ah-drin

/Agree

 

[theredrobedwizard]

ee-LAD-rin

ee: like in green
LAD: like a small boy
rin: as in rin-tin-tin.

(PS: EE-EHN-wurld and TIE-fling)

TIE-fling
