[POLL] Mar-look-sha or Mar-loo-sha?

[Jolts]

I've always pronounced it as Mar-luck-sia because that was the way I read it. Mar-loosha just doesn't sound right to me after years of pronouncing it like I read it.

 

[HeartOfTheHero]

I used to say Mar-luk-sia, and when I got ReCoM and they said Mar-loo-sha I was like "WHAT?? that sounds even more like a girl's name!!!" but now I just say Mar-loo-sha since I've been playing ReCoM so much.

 

[Relix]

I pronounced it MAR-LUKE-SEE-YA or MAR-LOOK-SEE-YA i refused to call him MAR-LOO-SHA

Even while playing Re:CoM I was like "WTF? Stop saying it like that!"

 

[keyking]

i actually said mar-luke-see-uh

 

[Archetype00x]

Call it what you want, but the correct phonetic pronunciation is Mar-loo-sha.

 

[Antiquity]

Mar-lux-ia. That's probably be the way I'll always pronounce it.

 

[The true Areku23]

PEOPLE, It's MAR-LOOK-SEE-A, The japanese don't interperet an "X" the same way we do. And the Square Enix over here was too steeoopid to properly translate the game.

Xion is a different case because the X is at the front of here name.

And if some of you think I wrong, tell me, why do we call Roxas "ROXAS" instead of "ROSHAS", ASHEL instead of ASHEL, or even or VESHEN instead of Vexen.

Stupid square Enix and thier dubbing failure.

 

[Traskix]

i always said it like this, Mar-loo-xa, never said it with a 'sh' sound.

Um... maybe because in the Japanese clips, that's how THEY say it?
Or maybe because the characters used to create their names have a different sound because of a " mark next to them?

Or MAYBE it's even because the English 'X' doesn't have a sound of it's own? It can sound like 'sh' it can sound like 'zz' or it can sound like 'ks'. It all depends on where it falls in a word/name and what comes after and before it.
Could also be that Marly's name is supposed to sound French-ish. And unless I'm mistaken, the 'sha' sound of 'xia' is French or at least French-based.

 

[RuffPuff]

I say Mar-lukes-e-a. I always have.

I don't like saying his name as Mar-loosh-ia because it sounds.. strange.

 

[sassysis10]

I like saying it Mar-lucks-ia. I've always said it that way. I know Mar-loosh-ia is the right way to say it, but I don't like saying it that way.

 

[Vindication]

lol. i used to pronounce his name as mar luck sia too

i vote mar loo sha o3o

 

[Shadow Fenix]

I've always pronounced it Mar-Lux-ee-a.
Don't care if it's wrong that's how I say it.

But honestly, what's the point of this thread?

 

[Lifes.Lover]

That's exactly how I pronounce it, even now.

Mar-loo-sha just sounds dumb.

 

[Cloaked_Assassin]

I never said it as Mar-look-sha or Mar-loo-sha. When I first saw his name I pronounced it as Mar-lux-eya, since that was how it was spelled. Honestly I think Mar-lux-eya sounds manlier than Mar-loo-sha, but I digress.

 

[493pokemon1]

I just say Marluxia. The way I pronounce it is up to you guys. :lol:
