Does that name irritate anyone else? It's not the character, just the name.

I've never known how to pronounce it - And as someone who has pronunciation problems anyway, that's annoying But other than that, not really, no.

Pronounciation Guide: Tih-Rii-Ah

No, not really. The name isn't what everyone dislikes, apart from the negative connotations it has. It's the actual character linked to the name most people dislike. (including me)

Hey, Tiria is cool  8)

And it's pronounced Tur-ee-ah
Just pretend there is something interesting and unique written here... I have nothing to say.

Delthion

Why? I thought it was pronounced Teer-ee-ah.
Dreams, dreams are untapped and writhing. How much more real are dreams than that paltry existence which we now call reality? How shall we ascend to that which humanity is destined? By mastering the dreamworld of course. That is how, my pupils, that is how.

I've always pronouced it Tih-ri-ah.

"Understood." Will looked at Nico. "Will you be my buddy?"

Why is there a U in there? Its either Tih or Tee, a U just doesn't make sense.

o.O I'm sorry I brought it up, then.

Tur-ee-ah. That's the way it's said.

I always thought it was pronounced that way, too.

Eulaliaaa!

I have a machete and I know Jiu Jitsu. Your argument is invalid. ;D

That's just always the way I said it. Maybe it's just a matter of opinion? Does Brian Jacques ever say it himself in one of his videos? What about the recorded books? They might be the most reliable sources :P

Wait... What... I thought it was Tria the whole time, not Tiria... Oh...
I want the world of Tolkien,
The message of Lewis;
The adventure of Jacques,
And the heart of Milne.
But I want the originality of me.

I've always pronounced it Ty-rah, but I know that can't be correct.
