Finally got around to making this lol
These are all how I would pronounce the names in English. I would say some of these differently in other languages.
@w8src ‘s list
@EJpuddlejumper ‘s list
@w8src ‘s second list
Sorry if you hear my cat in the background 
Also not sure what that background noise is in the second and third recordings, but sorry for that too!
Thank you! You have a nice voice too!
Haha thank you, [name_m]Stuart[/name_m]
[name_m]Just[/name_m] gonna jump on the bandwagon of everyone being obsessed with your voice! I could listen to you talk for hours 
[name_f]My[/name_f] accent would be just like yours if my grandparents didn’t get on a boat 
your voices are all beautiful!! It is so amazing to hear all the accents from around the world!
@alatari Thank you so much, and I second [name_f]Elena[/name_f]! You have an incredibly relaxing voice, and I love your accent!
Oh wow this is the best compliment ever!! Thank you guys 
It’s really nice to hear everyone’s voices after posting back and forth for so long.

edit; added Andromeda and Desdemona
Sorry if i’ve accidentally doubled up on another name we already have done!
I’ll be back too!
I want to answer these, but am somewhat worried for privacy reasons… does anyone know the risks associated with having your voice online? I’ve looked it up, but haven’t found much.
same, I am actually planning on deleting them now…like in a few minutes
I deleted the SoundCloud account because now I know that we can upload audio directly! I’ll delete my previous files now too. I still have all the recordings that I made stored privately.
I still want to keep this list though, in case anyone else would like to try:
Aoife
Caiomhe
Flion
Gryffydd
Lucella
Lunet
Madelief
Saoirse
Steffan
Steffen
Stephan
Stephen
Steven
Tatra
Thalatte
Aamira
Tekera
how do you guys pronounce Kosi?
I meant to respond to you earlier - sorry for the delay!
I also haven’t found much about it, but I’ve posted podcasts, radio shows, etc. on SoundCloud, which I’ve voiced and produced, and I haven’t ran into any trouble as far as my voice goes. In fact, over a period of three years, they’ve had about 30,000 plays combined, compared to a combined 35 plays of old Nameberry challenges from six years ago (52 if you count my responses to them ).
I do agree with [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], though; you always have the option to delete your recordings once the other Berries have heard them!
thank you! i’m torn between the two pronunciations (your first and third)… i’m not sure which one sounds better or what it would be more commonly received as…
I thought I posted this last night, but now I can’t find it, so here are some names that I thought of (If they’ve already been done, just tell me. [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t worry about doing it again 
)
[name_m]Alaric[/name_m]
[name_u]Calypso[/name_u]
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] (Is it different for a girl and boy?)
[name_f]Felicia[/name_f]
Gaia
[name_m]Geoffrey[/name_m] (This one’s always confused me. Is it the same as [name_m]Jeffrey[/name_m], or different?)
[name_u]Maria[/name_u]
[name_f]Oralie[/name_f]
[name_u]Orion[/name_u]
[name_m]Sigmund[/name_m]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]
No problem! I would probably guess the first one, but I’m also not sure.
Hey Berries!
After quite a bit of thought, I’ve actually regretted deleting my files from here. When I first joined Nameberry three months ago, I came across this thread from early 2014 which included a SoundCloud link, and I wanted to hear the recordings that other Berries made pronouncing names on that list! However, I only found that all the tracks on that SC account had been deleted, so I decided to record the list using that account for others to hear. I eventually created an SC account for other Berries, but I’ve since deleted it now that direct uploads are possible here.
Because of my experience, I’ve decided to re-post all the recordings that I made here this past week for newcomers to this thread! Besides, I personally don’t mind sharing my voice and pronunciations with the world at all. I tried to sort it in chronological order as best I can.

@the.vintage.scribe’s list:
As always, don’t hesitate to ask if you want me to record new names!
Yay [name_m]Stuart[/name_m]! I’m glad you’ve reuploaded! I’ll go through and have a listen tomorrow 
I’m personally not worried about security as this is such a niche recording and can’t really be used for much else. People upload YouTube videos of themselves with their whole face and home in the background! This is relatively quite safe I reckon.
I’ll tackle some of the new names tomorrow as well!
