It wasn't until someone was talking about the Harry Potter books and said her name out loud and was like ... who? <br /><br />And yeah, I don't stop reading a good story either, but I make up my own pronunciation and just keep going.Nina Piercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14548896481430215466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-80244135849657928892013-06-09T13:21:21.988-04:002013-06-09T13:21:21.988-04:00Nicole - My names are so important to me that once...Nicole - My names are so important to me that once I've got them I can't change their names without changing the story.

I'm also producing this book in audio format and perhaps more people will enjoy it with a narrator doing the pronunciations.Nina Piercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14548896481430215466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-76564059531347192212013-06-09T13:17:56.218-04:002013-06-09T13:17:56.218-04:00Vicki - LOL!

They aren't reasons to keep me from a book. When I read the first couple of Harry Potter books, I couldn't say Herminone's name to save my life.. I just said it how I thought it was in my head.
