Not exactly the wrong name and not something you can entirely understand (well, a few of you can), but I have a continuous debate with my girlfriend about how to pronounce certain names, such as Spyro. Obviously I know how to pronounce it, but I still like to pronounce it how it would read in my language (i.e. how it actually reads), while my girlfriend wants to pronounce it properly (which is a bit odd, considering her English skills).

There`s more than one way to pronounce Spyro?

I can only think of spy-row, what else is there?

Probably not that many ways in English, and right now I'm having a really hard time coming up with a way to describe it in English (mainly because I can't think of an English word where the first syllable is pronounced in the same way). If you're familiar with the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), I think the way to represent the pronunciation is simply [spyro]. If you're not familiar with it, well, that's probably not going to help you at all. And since I've never actually had to mark anything using IPA, only read it, there's a chance I messes something up (but I think I got it right, judging by the chart).
