Is it like peeterson or pet-terson?
One would seem obvious, but with people's names I'm never sure. I always thought my daughter's name was obvious until I heard it mangled seven ways to Sunday.

I have heard it as Pet-ters-son. Until then I thought Peter-son. When in doubt, I go with Showgirl or Mistress Vicki  |

Is it like peeterson or pet-terson? It's Pet-ter, like letter. Pet-tersson. Unless you're in Sweden. Then it's Pet-ter-shun. But I'm not. I'm in America. So even Peeterson is fine with me.  |

Well, I've hear it pronounced "lay" lines most often...I think that's a regional thing...And just because Vicki doesn't write about ley lines doesn't mean she wouldn't know how it's pronounced |

It's that damn demon's name that drives me bonkers.
Honestly, I make it up as I go along so I know how to say it in my head as I read.
Anything, that is. Names, cities, whatever. Or it bugs me.

It's that damn demon's name that drives me bonkers. Just call him Al like Rachel does. Or are you talking about Minias? Minnie, for short. ;D |
