What about Ardougne? Ardoug-nee or Ardoug-ney? :roll:

What killjoy said. I'd say Gee-li-nor or gee-la-nor. I never looked closely and thought it was glee-i-nor. Shows how much I pay attention. xD

If you go back to Latin, you could say it yee-lin-or. G didn't get it's 'gah' sound right off the bat. It used to be a 'ye' sound first. And their actually is a little bit of Latin in Runescape if you look closely at some of the dialogue. :P

Well a lot of English did stem from Latin roots after all.

I didn't notice that the l was in the middle of it, not after the g. So I have (and I think I will continue, I quite like it) said it like Glenn Yor.

I always skim names like that. XD I thought Burthorpe looked something to be pronounced like Burth o tope instead of like burth orpe. I interchange them now depending how i feel.

I pronounced Burthope like Birth-rope. I am very sad apparently.
