Just curious, but I've been wondering how everyone pronounces their characters names.

well the only one I can think of that'd give people a hard time is Aaron's sith name Kyrantar. It's pronounced Keer-uhn-tar

Full name: Taaru Ithillien Masako
T-ah-roo
Ee-thil-ian
Mah-sah-koh
Pretty simple, really. Bonus points if you guess where the middle and surnames are from.

Well the middle name is something from Tolkien if I recall correctly...

A cigar for the gentleman!
Indeed, "Ithilien" (I added an extra 'L') refers to a wide expanse of grassy plains at the eastern edge of Gondor. The field runs the length of the Mountains of Shadow, beyond which lies Mordor. It's western border is denoted by the conquered city of Osgiliath (the ruined city in the movie where the fighting is basically Saving Private Ryan, but with swords and arrows).
The reason I chose it is because I think it represents a certain moral ambiguity, lying as it does between Gondor and Mordor. Being the site of some pretty vicious battles, it also has a certain wear and tear to it...a sort of scruffyness. Despite this, it remains stunningly beautiful, even during the War of the Ring.
