That's not my name

There are lots of characters on Potter's Army with weird names or just odd spellings. This game isn't about how YOU pronounce YOUR character's name, it's about how you pronounce OTHER PEOPLE'S character's names. Especially if you think it might be wrong.

Let us know the character's name, how you hear it in your head when you read it, AND your guess of what you think the proper pronunciation is. NO GOOGLING!

Risé Lehmburg.

I always read it as "Reece" but I think it might be supposed to be "Ry-z-ay" kinda thing. That acute throws me.

Risé also threw me off.

A croft is a farm. An ash croft is a croft with ash trees.

I don't believe I have any particular problem with the pronunciation of Monroe Ashcroft, but I'll say this: Hitamé has stumped me on several occasions.

When I glance quickly at the name, I often find myself pronouncing the name as Hit-em-may, but I've had the feeling that I have utterly butchered it. =P I imagine it does not help that I am not particularly fluent in any other language than English and Latin.

Hitamé is actually pronounced Hit-a-may. It's a name I made up so no one really knows how to pronounce it Besides me :/
