Druss = Russ or ruse?

[Nokia]

I've always said it to rhyme with Russ. If that's what you're asking...?

[the_faery_queen]

me too

[cairnsbythesea]

Thank you for your replies. I guess that, as I rhymn it with Ruse it is probably because I don't like the dog next door who's name is Russs.

I pronounce it with Russ, Fuss, Bus etc.
I've been trying to find book two in this series - I read the first one and loved it and I never read a series out of order.

[kyektulu]

I use russ myself.

Maybe if you had a Scottish accent you'd rhyme it with ruse... I'm not sure.

[cairnsbythesea]

I had alway imagined him being originally from the Great Britian area, given that he had to cross oceans to reach Rowenna. Scotland would certainly be a place, at that time, that would cover the descriptions given.

Druss always seems scottish to me too, I think its the use of laddie that does it I have always used russ but nokia at a scot I find it impossable to ryhme it with ruse

[Nokia]

Hmm, maybe I'm thinking of how you'd say it with an Irish accent then...

[Allanon]

i think hes scottish

[Iona]

Always been Druss for me, to rhyme with bus.

It is rhymed with Russ, I heard and interview with DG and he said the name came from a cross between his name and a co-workers who was called Russ.

David + Russ = Druss

(or Ravid, but thats just silly)
