It's an ancient species of cat, similar to yourself Molly, except they had black noses, and hairless tails. Shocking isn't it?!

Roe is closer to row to me then roo - which is more like rue imo (minus microsoft michelle this is why to me).
Glad you told us how to say your name though, I always came up with:
Dij (digital) k strah
or better yet
dik (slilent j) straw.. which gave me a good lol
Haha yeah I know I've gotten my fair share of comments "did you just smash keys on your kb when making that name" etc. But it's a legit Dutch, common last name. the "ij" makes the long "i" or "y" sound in Dutch.Roe is closer to row to me then roo - which is more like rue imo (minus microsoft michelle this is why to me).

the oe in in Dutch is always heard as "oo" or "uuu" if you prefer to type it that way, but the point stands that it's a long o sound, rather than the "oh" sound everyone is assuming it is, which is not a bad thing since the rule doesn't really exist for us in English. But the katakana for the name is written as "Ru Ga Din", and along with a posting of how the pronunciation exists for the roegadyn lore, it pretty much confirmed that it uses a similar scheme to the Dutch language.

Well good point that its not really made in "my" English. SE has always been worldly with its pronunciations.. all the Limsa pirate names or when in FFXI my first response to bordeaux was "wtf..?!" bored..e..a..u..x..?-Haha yeah I know I've gotten my fair share of comments "did you just smash keys on your kb when making that name" etc. But it's a legit Dutch, common last name. the "ij" makes the long "i" or "y" sound in Dutch.

Its all good though because the way I say it (Roegadyn) now is really wrong (because I remembered the wrong spelling for too long lol).

Lol ya Bordeaux is the actual town in France (been there, its beautiful ><), and Bedeaux, the Quadav camp. Only difference pronunciation-wise is that "r". "Bor-doh" "Be-doh"
I am drawn to these types of names because its always fun to try and break them down and figure out why that name was chosen.

Goobbue = Goo-Boo (according to Fern!)
