    Mearl-wib Blow-fis-win.

    It's not really Celtic, but it all Roegadyn names are inspired by Celtic syllables I believe, much like how Elvaan in XI were kinda french-ish.

    That's helpful thanks, doesn't make them any easier to read though.

    Merl (sea) + wyb (wife)
    Bloe (blue) + fhis (fish) + wyn (daughter)


    So it really is blowfish? lol

    You know what's funny? They talk about Roegadyn lore and how their names are formed and then you see a Roegadyn player running around called Sephirothxxcloud, makes it seem a bit pointless lol.

    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.

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