"A" does actually sound like "uh" in some words, KL.
Also, about Larxene's pronuciation, I messed up on that. It was a typo. I will fix it if it is about to send you into a trauma.
The only reason my pronunciation sounds weird is because you are used to pronouncing Namine a different way. I think your pronunciation sounds weird as well because I am just used to saying Namine differently. Besides, it is just my opinion, as your pronunciation is yours.
I respect you, KL, as many people do, but don't overreact.
