When you read certain words, how do they sound off in your mind?
In my head, Gilead is GIL-EE-AD.
What about you guys?

How does everyone pronounce Gan?
I always did it like it rhymed with can, or man.
Roland and Gilead I pronounce the same way you do, FP.
A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.
There's logic in nonsense.
Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.
I pronounce Gan like Khan, only with a G obviously.
I pronounce Gilead the same as you FP but I always thought I said it wrong. Turns out that Frank Muller, who does audio, says it gill ee ad too.
Cuthbert, I pronouce just how it looks but on the audios he says keithbert
Lalalalaaaa, lalalalaaa
Lalalalaaaa, lalalalaaa

Keithbert? For some reason that's funny to me.

i say it cue-th-bert.
cue, like pool cue. or queue.
What about Depape, Jonas's lackey?
I always pronounce it DE-POW-P
depape is pronounced d-pape (like paper without the r).
i've always heard cuthbert pronounced sarajean's way, like the little q*bert guy, but with a th thrown in.
I always thought Cuthbert was with a short 'u' - cuhth-bert.
I say Gilead like FP does too.

I've always pronounced unknown names in books the same as known words that have a similar structure, unless the author specifies.

I was never sure whether it was Gil-lead or Gil-ee-ad, there was a name of the same place in The Handmaiden's Tale too (Margaret Attwood) I alternate between the two
Roland I pronounce Row-land, and Cuthbert like Cuff but with a th. Mind you, alot of pronounciations change with accents anyway don't they.
Row (as in "row your boat")-land. Gill-ee-ad. Cuhth-bert. Deh-pape. I rhyme Gan with 'can.'
you're solid gold // i'll see you in hell
So I'm the only one who pronounces it GHAN?
No, Aaron pronounces it that way too.So I'm the only one who pronounces it GHAN?

Its Can with a "G" to me.
Most of my pronunciations are strictly based on the audio versions of the books which is another reason why I love them.

Yeaaaah!No, Aaron pronounces it that way too.So I'm the only one who pronounces it GHAN?
[props to Aaron]
No, Aaron pronounces it that way too.So I'm the only one who pronounces it GHAN?
That's how I say it too, but then again, I'm from Alabama, so chances are we are WRONG!
It's peanut butter jelly time!
Is that Ghan like Khan?!?!
KHAN!!! <--pronounced like Captain Kirk?
