    The thread itself isn't about right or wrong pronunciation. I am just wanting to see how different people pronounce things. It is very interesting to see the way other minds wrap around words. But apparently EE-FREET is the correct way of saying it. The Tales series, the Heroes of Might and Magic series, and several others use this pronunciation and the 'Efreet' spelling for the same type of fire elemental demon.

    Others that have been mentioned, and some new ones:

    Suikoden - SUE-uh-koh-den (and I slur the first and second syllables)
    Disgaea - dis-GUY-uh
    La Pucelle - la POO-cell
    Kakariko - KAH-kuh-REE-koh
    Gerudo - gair-OOO-doe (first syllable rhymes with air)
    Skulltula - skull-TULL-uh
    Sahasrahla - SAH-SAH-RAH-LA (first two syllables rhyme with "bah" and "la")
    Agahnim - ANG-ham (way off, I know, but this was my pronunciation for that guy when I was a kid)
    Mormegil - MORE-meh-GEEL
    Crissaegram - chris-EYE-grum
    Magus - MAH-gus (after Latin: MAY-gus)
    Marle - MARR-ull (last syllable rhymes with gull)
    Masamune - MASS-uh-moon
    Murasame - MURR-same (you can tell I don't pronounce things Japanese-ish)
    Cyrus - SAI-russ
    Schala - SKA-luh
    Umaro - ooo-MARR-oh
    Ctulhu - kuh-TWO-luu
    Eidolon - EE-doe-lawn
    Chupon - chew-PAWN
    Ragnarok - rag-NAIR-ock
    Serge - Surge
    Riddel - rid-DELL
    Korcha - CORE-chuh (second syllable sounds like "Chuck")
    Harle - HARL
    Grobyc - GROW-bic
    Einlanzer - INE-laan-zurr
    Acacia - uh-KAY-kia

    Oh, and this one...
    Water Temple - sun-ove-uh-BEECH
