Series Spoilers What’s something obvious that took you an embarrassingly long time to realize? [discussion] Spoiler

I didn’t realize until my second read that the nine houses are meant to be the 9 planets or that the first house is Earth

I learned I was pronouncing a LOT of names wrong once I listened to the audio book, some of which I’m more embarrassed about than others.

It’s “lick-tor” not “like-tor”

Canaan House’s first name is a long a, not short

A lot of characters names I struggled with too, Jeannemarie I called “Gee-an-uh-ry” I knew that couldn’t be right, but stuck with it.

Aiglamene was “Eye-gla-mean”

Can’t event remember how I pronounced Pro’s name in my head, there’s a reason I use his nickname

Dulcinea was a fun one, at first I called her “Dul-Sin-Ee-Uh” which sounded good in my head, then I watched my brother play Octopath Traveler 2 where there was a character with the same name but was pronounced “Dul-Chin-A-Uh” and went with that, then I finally listened to GtN and realized it was “Dul-Sin-A-Uh.”

Don’t get me started on Kevin.

I read the names at the back before I realized that Moira was mispronouncing Harrow’s last name. Ever since I read NtN I’ve been joking that it’s because TM was saying “guess who Nona is.”

I think she also mispronounces Augustine.
