Oh my god, I love this! Thank you, dear berries, for reading these aloud, and please keep them coming – it’s so interesting and such an amazing resource!
I was born in the midwestern USA but was raised around the world due to my parents’ line of work and ended up with a weird blended accent. So I recorded this twice: once with my natural accent and once with my over-enunciated, fake midwestern accent (pretty sure I’m pronouncing some of these wrong either way lol).
My natural accent: 50 Names (read with my natural accent) - Clyp
My midwestern accent: 50 names (read with my midwestern accent) - Clyp
there you go! I live in Tauranga, [name_m]New[/name_m] Zealand ([name_u]Micah[/name_u] i pronounce the Hebrew way as i’m Jewish). BTW I apologise for the TERRIBLE audio quality
Mid-Atlantic/East Coast American here. Here’s mine: Names Pronunciation - Clyp
[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! I’m from [name_m]Washington[/name_m] State in the USA, so the [name_m]Pacific[/name_m] Northwest. And here is my recording.
This is a really interesting thread, and a few of my favorites were on the list so it was interesting to hear others pronouncing them. 
The one I had the most trouble with is [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] because I always want to pronounce it uh-rule-ee-uh but I’ve seen time and again that this isn’t the correct way, haha.
Bumping this because I’ve just stumbled across it again and I thought some of our newer members might like the chance to participate too 
[name_m]Feel[/name_m] free to suggest any additional names you’d like me to add!

Here’s mine! I’m also from [name_f]England[/name_f]. Originally a Northern lass but I’ve lost my accent (
) as I’ve travelled around. Some of the names I was unfamiliar with so I went with my first guess!

@dejectedpiglet You have a lovely voice! Very soothing 
@floatinthesky I’ve lost quite a bit of my original accent too, apparently. I grew up in Leicestershire but married a southerner. [name_f]My[/name_f] kids say “BAAAATH” and “GRAAAASS”, the horror 
I think I ought to re-record mine at some point because my pronunciation of a couple of these seems to have changed over the past two years!

what are the ones you want to hear the most? Cause I am considering doing this
Any you like! The master list is in my OP 
but you can just pick and choose the ones you want to read if you don’t want to do them all (or even make your own list!)

I tagged you to ask how you recorded your voice but then I figured it out so nevermind
Here’s mine: Emma's profile on Clyp
Btw I’m from the southern US but I don’t have much of an accent since my parents grew up in [name_m]Britain[/name_m]. I also didn’t say [name_m]Thierry[/name_m] or [name_m]Ivo[/name_m] bc I’m not sure how to pronounce them.

This is so fun to listen to!!! I just listened to @EJpuddlejumper read her list and I only pronounce 3 or 4 the same way. 
It is quite interesting

Hey guys! I’ve been recently uploading to this thread, but I just came across this one! I thought I’d send my own recording of pronunciations from @katinka’s list. I’m from Michigan in the US.

@alatari I have to agree with you on [name_m]Cassius[/name_m]. I prefer [name_u]Cass[/name_u]-ee-us or [name_m]Cash[/name_m]-us as well.
