According to Google it should be pronounced something in terms of "scythe-er-e-ah", stressed on the third syllable. I always pronounced her name "scythe-ear-e-ah", stressed on the second syllable. Please tell me I'm right and let it be the truth... Please list other porn star names that could be tricky in these days of non-rhyming food, good and blood. - For non-native English speakers, Gauge can be difficult to pronounce. I was glad a guy called her by name in the first scene I've seen with her. (Must have been the first, only and last time I was glad to hear a guy talk in porn ). (For those who don't know, she rhymes with "engage".) - Okay now, can anyone tell me how to pronounce Jenaveve (Jolie), please? I'd say something like "jenna, we've", stressed on the last syllable. I need to know if that's anywhere close to correct, otherwise I can't both buy Pirates and feel morally acceptable. - Do you pronounce Melissa Lauren the same way as Lauren Phoenix or does she get a special French pronunciation? In Gauge we thrust. [Link]

Click to expand I believe that's accurate - Do you pronounce Melissa Lauren the same way as Lauren Phoenix or does she get a special French pronunciation? Click to expand I may be wrong but I pronounce them differently. I pronounce Melissa's last name with the emphasis on the REN (lau-REN) (like Sophia Loren) and I pronounce Lauren Phoenix's name with the emphasis on the LAU and the second syllable sounds like "rin" instead of "ren" (LAU-rin) (like Lauren Bacall).

Eric381 Deactivated User What are you looking at? It 2452 Posts 3/05	Posted - Jan 19 2006 : 1:32AM The only reason I stress the high "i" as her "y" is b/c that is the way she herself said it in Lingerie #2.

ObiBong Senior Member 1162 Posts 12/02	Posted - Jan 19 2006 : 2:38AM Cytherea (the woman) pronounces it the way you thought: emphasis on the second syllable. But as a longtime Cytherea admirer, I do believe the "correct" pronunciation is emphasis on the third. Once it's your name, of course, whatever you declare to be correct is de facto correct. [Link]

Eric381 Deactivated User What are you looking at? It 2452 Posts 3/05	Posted - Jan 19 2006 : 4:50AM Something of a "Madame Law-en". The real challenge for me would be Melissa...would it be "mA-lE-sa" or something closer to spanish with "mA-yE-sa"? Yes, it's early...I'm still drinking, and I haven't gotten any sleep yet...

Robbie Member 884 Posts 1/05	Posted - Jan 19 2006 : 6:36AM Tricia Devereaux is a good one, I've noticed that some people can't even spell it, let alone pronounce it! I'm going with Dev-ver-row just like the fine wines from Bordeaux. I have probably got this completely wrong! [Link]

Click to expand Thanks ObiBong! Can you also tell me if the second syllable is pronounced like "err(or)" or like "ear" melissalauren wrote: many people ask me about it. my answer? "dont bother, cause anyway you wont get the "r" right". Click to expand Thank you, Melissa. But hey, I'm Swiss, I've learned French at school for about nine years. Forgot most about it but I remember how the "r" is pronounced. Something quite close to our "ch". Basically the only possible pronunciation if you have a cock in your mouth.

However, French or French-Canadian people would probably pronounce it de-ve-roh with a deep-throat "r". Thanks everyone, keep the answers coming! In Gauge we thrust.

Worked out that that MI is Michigan which is kinda Canada. If you draw a straight line from Chicago to Eminem's house, there is a cluster of street names and various businesses called Devereaux and all in Michigan! Google maps are so cool. Anyway, I just checked Tricia's FAQ and Devereaux is actually a character from 'Days of Our Lives'. I'm bailing now, as this is probably stalking. [Link]

Eric381 Deactivated User What are you looking at? It 2452 Posts 3/05	Posted - Jan 19 2006 : 12:35PM I agree...although I'd put it more like Devir-O, where "eau" or "eaux" sounds like "O". Eric Robbie wrote: I'm going with Dev-ver-row just like the fine wines from Bordeaux. Click to expand [Link]

pwing Member 413 Posts 4/05	Posted - Jan 19 2006 : 5:57PM What about Katja Kassin? I've been wondering how to properly pronounce her name sincee I first heard of her. Is the "j" silent? Should the "Kat" be pronounced like cat or like caught? Does "Kassin" end sounding like -sin or like -seen... does it begin sounding like cass or cause? It's at times like this when I wish I had payed more attention in class. [Link]
Eric381 Deactivated User What are you looking at? It 2452 Posts 3/05	Posted - Jan 19 2006 : 6:48PM I've heard "Kaat-ya" for her first name, and either "Kaz-in" or "Ka-sin" if you can understand my breakdown there. ~E pwing wrote: What about Katja Kassin?

Don't know the other girl but I'd say "E-vah-nah Fook-ka-lott" if that's her real name and "Fuck a lot" if it's a stage name. In Gauge we thrust. [Link]

scipio Senior Member 1901 Posts 2/00	Posted - Jan 20 2006 : 10:59AM Pronounciations basically depend on your own language and accent. "Correct" pronounciations are basically however the person bearing the name says it. "chowder" anyone? (Simpsons reference) Edited by - scipio on 1/20/2006 11:02:32 AM [Link]
