Well, i pronounce it as the 'Lego' being quite quick, and the 'las' goes down a note and is slightly longer, so its like lego-LAS, but the 'o' is very fast and often sounds like an a, so it sounds 'legalas' if i say it REALLY fast!

In the spoof book (bored of the rings) his name is Legolam (as in Leg-OF-lamb) but dont call me that!

I had trouble pronouncing Meriadoc, i always thought it was
Me-RA-doc, but now I know its Mer-ee-a-DOC.

Anyway, different ppl pronounce names differently. YOu can say it how you want, as long as you dont miss the 'o' out completely to get 'Leglas' (legless)
