Is it true that it was originally pronounced Darkseed and they only went with Dark Side in Superfriends because of Star Wars?

He even had one day off the same birthday as me.

I always thought "St. John" was pronounced exactly that way, Saint John.

Apparently the proper way to pronounce it when used as a name is "Sinjin."

>>77863991
Well that's dumb.

>>77863991
It's not a common name, so a lot of people have made that same mistake, even in official media.

>>77863991
That's part of the reason his name is just John in some versions. They don't know how it's meant to be pronounced and think "Saint John" is a cumbersome name so they just shorten it to John.

>>77864047
I don't...what does that name even come from. that doesn't make any fuckin sense. somebody explain it.

Arabfag here. Is the name written anywhere in Arabic letters? Right now there could be a few ways to pronounce it depending on what letters the vowels are supposed to correspond to and whether or not that's one of the weird spellings where s = sh.

>>77864516
it's just Head of the Demon translated

>>77864516
"رأس الغول" according to wiki

>>77863869
You do know that is done on purpose right? To show that she doesn't give a fuck what her name is, because she likes "Kiera" better.

>>77864516
Just kidding. Google is a magical thing.

The spelling is رأس الغول

This is written from right to left. The straight line with the squiggly on top? That's the a sound. The squiggly means it's an aa sound, as in bat. The s is the kind of butt looking letter. In Arabic, this letter is the s sound, like at the end of class. Now, if the creator did intend the name to be pronounced raa-SH, then the name needed to be spelled with the version of this letter that had three dots on top. So by the Arabic spelling, the first name is pronounced r(aa)-s. Pretend like you're trying to say rat, pause for just a moment before the t sound, and say the s sound instead.

I think we've heard enough terrorist names to know how to pronunce the al at this point.

The gh sound is not just a g sound. It's the gh sound that sounds like you're coughing something up. I don't know how to quite describe it, but just copy and paste the circle with one dot on top of it, paste into YouTube, and watch a pronunciation video. There's a different letter for the G sound, so this isn't really disputable. The giant comma looking letter is oo, and then the last letter is just l. So the last name is aal-GHool. Just uh, pretend you're trying to cough something up.
