Mostly because I stealing this idea from the other thread, and because I thought it might be fun to do. Just how someone's name is phonetically pronounced.
Leon Timyon
LEE-on TIM-yon
His Race -
Nekomata
NEE-ko-MAH-tah
The (yon) like the first half of yonder, as in "There is a yeti over yonder."
AT-sar KELL-uhn
HYOO-muhn :p
For all my ones with unusual names.
Karu: Care-oo-ka (or Kar'uh'kuh) Tea-da.
Anila: SAH-kur-ah-ZOO-ka ME-you ah-NEE-la.
Syn: SIN-air Nih-DEL
Siren: Si-wren, real name being Ik-AHTH-ya.

This is how I pronounce it.
Lagh'ratham
LA - (As in "la la la" when you're singing and can't remember the words)
GRA - (Think of like a growl.)
Thum - (Like your thumb.)
Saraelian
SA - (Like in "say")
Rail - (Like a "rail" road track.)
LIEN - (Like "alien", but remove the "a")
Xos = Sauce, only with a Z sound instead of an S sound.
Xilanthes = Zil-anth-eezz
Aiko = I-e-ko
Valanthe = Val-anth-ee
Xiloscent = Zilo-Scent
Destrudo = Des-Trud-Oh
And a character I mentioned in another thread here at another time:
Rahegalhoff = Ra (Like the Egyptian God) He ( as in he is not a she) Gal ( As in she's one sweet gal) Hoff ( Pronounced in the exact same way as the Hoff in David Hasselhoff)
Mesquchoku = Mes ( As in this is a big mess.) Qu ( like the first part of Queen
Cho-ku ( as in, The Cho-ku-Nu was a famous chinese weapon)

I attach the d to the ell, not the fin. But it's a very subtle connection, you can mistake it for fihnd-ell-fin easily.
