[POLL] Mar-look-sha or Mar-loo-sha?

[Shuryou]

when i first played the game on the GBA, i always thought it was "Mar-look-sha", not until the PS2 version came out, i laughed when they said "Mar-loo-sha". im just wondering, who among you people say Mar-loo-sha or Mar-look-sha. me, i still say it how i originally said it as im not used to saying Mar-loo-sha, it sounds too hilarious. :lol:

I say Marluxia, namely because it sounds suave-ish as compared to fag-suave.

 

[slmcknett]

I say "Mar-loo-sha", because...that's his name...

 

[Ehres]

Marlucksha.

Duhhh.

 

[Millenious]

I always thought it was Mar-look-seeya which sounds so much more masculine than Marlusha

(of course Marluxia was originally planned to be a woman)

 

[qster]

It is officially pronounced MAR-LOO-SHA, but many people pronounce it MAR-LUCK-SA.

 

[VagueSimplicity]

Neither, I still say it like MAR-LOOK-SEE-AH, which I always thought was the correct way to say.

That's how I would always say it too.

 

[Unusual1290]

I used to say MAR-LOO-ZIA. I wish it were like that. But, I've gotten used to calling him MAR-LOO-SHA. I just hate that Xion's name is pronounced SHI-ON and not ZI-ON.

 

[Audo]

I actually prefer the Shion way now that i have gotten more used to it.

 

[LionHeart14]

Paha, I said Mar-luck-see-uh
And I still say that because I haven't gotten to where they reveal his name in Re:CoM so Mar-loo-sha or whatever it is hasn't sunk in yet :lol:

 

[CCs_No1_Fanboy]

Mar-luke-sia. It sounds much better than Mar-loo-sha. Marloosha sounds like an alchoholic beverage.

 

[Raiko]

Mar-look-sha sounds better since i say what i see

Mar-loo-sha just sounds odd

 

[Xnairb]

I always said it Mar-luck-seeah. Apparently I missed the day in english class about Z's where if they are followed by an "I", it makes a "sh" sound...stupid...

 

[JenniMGF]

I used to say Mar-luck-sia (pronouncing x as in ex) but after i found out how to say it, cos what i did before was say how I read it, no i say mar-lu-shia

 

[Sir Jecht]

I say Mar-look-seeya instead of Marlusha cause Marlusha just sounds weird. I will only say Marlusha if I'm reading his name in Katakana or talking to a Japanese fan, if not then screw it his name is said as Mar-look-seeya.

 

[One-Winged-Chaos]

I used to say Mar-luck-sia cause that's how it was spelt, you wouldn't think to say Marloosha, but that's how i say it now cause i've got used to it

 

[Unabomber]

i usually say "mar-luck-see-a". i'm not very fond of the proper pronunciation.

 

[Sora1915]

I used to say Mar-luck-sa.....Now I say Mar-loo-sha and it doesn't bother me but I don't really like him so I didn't care....At least I always pronounced Xion She-on so I'm ok with that one too :3

That's how I always pronounced it too. Of course the way you and I pronounced it was by using the english pronounciation of the letter "X". It japan "X" gives the "Sh" sound. So it would appear that when they translated the Organization's names, they gave some members the english pronounciation of "X" while Marluxia and Xion has the japanese pronounciation of "X"
