I started thinking today about how Aegina's name is pronounced. Welll, that's it.
So here's the question, LCN. How do I pronounce "Aegina"? |

The island's name is generally pronounced /eʝina/, so, since we pronounce Yggdra based on the pronunciation of Yggdrasil, that's what I've been going with.

It is I-GEE-NAH!
The katakana spells, Ai-Gi-Na which pronounced- I-GEE-NAH. Also in the PSP voice acting, they pronounce it that way. ~~~ "Though always keen and eager the sheepdog never really mastered the herding of carnivorous sheep."

Okay, you're being misleading. Before i/e, g is generally pronounced /ʤ/ in English, as in "generous." Are you saying that? Because if you are then you're reading the katakana wrong. It would be a voiced k as in "get" or "gain." Also, considering the katakana has Yggdra's name as YU-GU-DO-RA, we can't go off of that for pronunciation.

Sometimes the japanese have no way of pronouncing the real word so they have to like somehow say it with their own alphabet such as for example the name Christine, it would be KU-RI-SU-TI-N ~~~ I am a stupid moron and didn't think the admins could figure out I was being a little shit. D'oh!!

Nah, they're crazy. If they always went by that then Yggdra would be "I-GU-DO-RA." And Ishiene sure wouldn't have a "nu" as the last syllable in her name.

The Japanese pronunciations (when they're not Japanese names) are meaningless and should be ignored. |

Yeah, but in katakana it's "YU-GU-DO-RA." And as for Ishiene, it still wouldn't be "nu." They'd use "n" if they weren't crazy.

No, they don't. :( I've played through YUPSP in Japanese twice, and I've heard no such thing. Not that it would make sense either way since her name is written イシーヌ (ishiinu).
