    The Japanese pronunciation is "Meruib Bruufiswin". Perhaps that helps.

    haha! I am not the only one!!! This happens to me often in games and books I read, especially fantasy books. I generally just come up with something that makes sense in my head and think of it that way.

    In this case, I have been thinking of it as Merl-web Blow-Fish-Win lol.

    I know in German 'Bloe' is pronounced like 'blay' (it's the start of my family name so personal experience lol) and the Japanese like to play with German names and words.

    So with the name Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn, I think the last name might be more pronounced:

    Blay-fiss-win

    or

    Blay-hiss-win if the F is silent as some think.

    I'm saying the first name pretty much like everyone else is, heehee.

    Ah, no. Maybe it's just your family name being wierd (many names are) but in typical German, "Bloe" would contract to "Blö". The sound an "ö" makes is like the name of the letter O in english.

    So if pronounced in a German style, you'd go more like "Bloh".


    But that "wyn" is far more Welsh in style, which comes out as "win" when spoken in English.

    Please if anyone knows I'd be grateful if you could help.
    That name is hella tight.
