    I still say Eliv and Evil Thade xD, just sounds better. And I still say Maractite as Maracite. Glad to know I'm not the only one!

    I also said Maracite instead of 'Maractite'
    Maracite and Skardsen sound so much cooler!

    I know right? Plus the anagram works out the same

    Oh, I also seem to be the only person who pronounces "mynci" correctly -- it's meant to be monkey in Welsh, but they fucked it up (mwnci). Anyway, it's meant to be like "min-kee"...my boyfriend for example pronounces it "min-see" xD

    Oh, I pronounce that min-chee anyway haha. I don't think it was meant to be with a w though, I think they just based it on the welsh and adapted it. I love the origins of some of the names of Neopets, especially Gelert (great story though heartbreaking) and Bruce (just plain funny).

    Haha, the Bruce one isn't really a story but basically the original image was of Bruce Forsyth in his tux and that's where the name came from, it stuck even after the image changed to a penguin.

    I've always said Turmalucus instead of Turmaculus.
