    Probably from thinking they are two syllables.
    Hy(hi as in Hyrule)-Ur (Er) = "hire".

    i always thought "Hyur" would be "Hire".

    Elezen: El Eh Zen

    Lalafell: should be pretty obvious.

    Miqo'te: Meh Koh Te

    Roegadyn: Roh Gah Din

    another one that really bothers me is Paladin. Seems like another obvious one...
    I've always said "Pal Uh Din" and have always heard this this way. When i hear people say "Puh Lad In" it just sounds stupid.

    Hy = High
    Ur = Er

    maybe "Hyur = Higher" would have been a better example instead of "Hire". just how it seems to me.

    Hee-yer and H-yur (soft H) along with some others just sound too silly and unnecessary.

    edit: maybe High - Yer, idk.
