Maybe it's easier to do in other languages, but in English all of our vowels stand for so many different sounds, and the stress can fall on any syllable, and I don't think there is ever any guarantee that a particular name would be pronounced by anyone (let alone everyone) exactly as the writer wishes. |
To be honest, I mostly write contemporary fantasy with common names.
