You prounounce her name A (rhymes with hay)- thee (rhymes with knee. Soft 'th' not hard. Doesn't sound like 'the'. Like the 'th' in 'thumb' o_x confuzzling)
I just was wondering today how everyone was prounouncing her name And it began to bug me so much, I had to just put a little note ^_~

And, for all those who have spent hours pondering over how to pronouce Eilidh Here it is.
A (like hay) -lay (I 'lay' on the ground)
It's like the most confusing name ever, the D and H are silent, the Es and Is sound like As
If you know how to pronouce Ceilidh, just minus the C ;D
Alieh is a-lie(I told you a 'lie') -ah (Ah! I get it!)
Niles is miles with a N

Sanura is... Sun-ore-uh
Ryou... Sort of like "Roy-yuu"... Errr... I can't describe it. It's pronounced multiple ways.
Laurel is... Err... "Lore-ull"
I wanted to join the trend!

Eilidth - I don't know if I want to bother with this one. I just look at the word as a whole without processing it, it makes my head hurt D:
Attila - same?
his brother - haha, I can't even spell this one.
I always thought mine were obvious, but who knows?
Eralyn - air - ah - lynn (kinda wish i hadn't chosen this)
Vadir - vah - deer

I've always said it "Zanth"
Shhhhhh. -_-
Her full name is actually Xanthorra, pronounced Ex-zan-thor-uh. But yeah, the short version is pronounced Zanth.
And like Vicky said, knowing I'm pronouncing these names wrong isn't going to stop me pronouncing them wrong. I get comfortable and find the easiest way to pronounce something and then that's it.

Eivyonydd is said (h)ay-vee-ON-ith
The shortened form he used most often, Vyon, is said Vee-ON
The emphasis in Welsh (from the pronunciation guide I was using) is on the last syllable, hence the 'ON'.
I too said Aithe as in Faith, but I like the Ay-thee.
And Mahesa I had wrong too, I would have said that with a short 'heh' instead of the long 'hee', so Ma-heh-saa.
I'm glad I was saying Kaida right. Without actually knowing how it was said I forced myself to say it Kay-e-duh instead of Ky(as in fly)-duh
