Stupid Morrowind nicknames?

[ImperialMan2]

My friend and I have always called Balmora Balormia. Not sure why, its a pretty east name to pronounce.

Yah I use to call Balmora BalAmora

[ImperialMan2]

I used to think daedra was pronounced DEAD-DRA

[Deleted472477User]

I heard some guy on a Let's Play call Caius Cosades Cassus Co-sayds. Someone else called Vivec Vivee, because he thought the C was another E. I tend to call Zainsipilu "Zippity Dooh-Dah"

 

I say Jiub as "Jyoob" but I might be wrong on that one. I love the Dwemer names best; I always joke that the Dwarves really disappeared because they broke their jaws trying to pronounce those names and starved to death en masse :P

 

Sometimes I call Hasphat, Asshat Annapolis.

 

Sotha Sil-- Sofa Mart

 

Sometimes when male Nords are being annoying (in all the games) I say "Shut up, Skwisgaar!"

 

Once, I called Huleeya, Julio.

 

Oh, and Crassass Curious :D

I always had this problem! :P

The day I scrutinised the last letter and discovered it was a C was like... WHHAHHDSASHIHWOIWNM!

 

Oh, and Crassass Curious :biggrin:

Lol, that's a good one. :biggrin:

 

 

 

When I was younger, I used to pronounce Caius Cosades's first name as "Kay-ie-yus", then when I came back a bit later I pronounced it "Kayus", then when I came back once more after learning about Ancient Rome in high school, I pronounced it "Kai-yus", which I believe is correct.

 

I constantly change how I pronounce Balmora though, that town's name can be many different things.

 

One of the only native Dunmer settlement names I can remember is Urshilaku.

Hlaalu is really the only name is have trouble remembering how it's pronounced. I'm pretty good at a lot of the others, but if I'm confused I don't stress it as it adds to the fantasy effect of the game. I think Morrowind has more unique names which seem like they put more effort into thinking of people, places, roads, towns, etc.

'oh dear, what a pity, here is another one of those troublesome cliff racers, I do wish they would go away'.

 

WHY can I see the Doctor saying this? XD

 

I have a few pronunciation problems. I always pronounce Hla Oad as "Hiya Owed"...Dagon Fel comes out "Daggone Fell", Sadrith Mora is "Sad-rith More-uh", Balmora is "Ball More-uh" (now doesn't that sound gangsta?)

 

I had a friend who pronounced Nerevarine as "Neverine".

 

Caius...that's one I can't wrap my head around. Is it pronounced "Kai-Us" or "Kay-Us"?

Which Doctor?

 

I have always pronounced Caius as Kai-Us. I have never tried to pronounce Nchuleftingth. I might see how the text to speech program on my phone pronounces it.

[Oblivionaddicted]

I pronounce things the way I like the most and I don't have difficulties remembering the most common names.

[tautaula]

Caius Co-sads. He does skooma to self-medicate his major depression.

 

Hapstats Antivenom - Sends you to a Dwemer ruin for his missing cube because the bullies there took it and he's got a phobia of Dwemer stuff. (He can handle the cube because and only because he keeps telling himself it's not really Dwemer.)

 

Balm-oral Watch who you kiss there!

 

Dagon Fell - Spoilers for TES4 here!

 

Yer a wizard, Master Ary(on)!

 

I might come back and add more.

[Clokis]

I'll make nicknames for places to this day, its always been part of playing the game.
