The guy pronouncing the names looks so done with them 😂😂

[livelovelaugh]

I pronounced Celeste like Se-lest. And Schreave like Screeve 😂

[FaiGal]

"I think his name's suppose to be Kile but that's way too easy" 😂😂😂 Only one name and they butchered that

[LeslieNguyen]

Why were they having the hardest times pronouncing the easy names

[mindizhao]

"You know what what would be so much easier, why couldn't her name be Marlee?" 😂😂😂
Me: her name IS Marlee

[sheymo]

The guy telling them the correct pronunciation is just like, "I DIDNT SIGN UP FOR THIS"

[Lyco_Smoke]

The only one I got wrong was Henri. I said his name like the usual Henry

[emmabrook]

Maybe this is why Eadlyn wanted them out of her house

[abbydanielle]

WAIT AM I THE ONKY ONE DOESNT REMEMBER APSEL??

[erinmariecece]

This brings back so many memories of the Pronunciation problems while reading this series

[hannahcheung]

I've been pronouncing Illéa wrong this whole time *sobs*

[louisacoote]

Celeste is French, it’s pronounced Sell-est ( like jest, test or rest). Some of the name spellings were ridiculous, like Eain or Ean. I always thought Schreave was pronounced live sh-reeve.

[kyliejade]

YOU GUYS DO REALIZE WHEN SHE SAYS ERIKS NAME (or Eikko) SHE WAS LOOKING IM THE END OF THE CROWN?!?

[lcall]

Omg i pronounced it "SELL- EST"

[jamieandtheturtles]

The last one was so hard I mean it's not like we were screaming her name in the first three books because of her choices she had made not at all.😂😂😂

[Winerietta]

Actually in Finland Henri is pronounced like Henry, not like fancy french name. And they all also pronounced Jaakoppi and Eikko totally wrong :D But finnish is hard to learn so I don't blame you

[dollgrownup]

I THOUGHT SCHREAVE WAS LIKE SCH-RAY-VE WHAT IS THIS

[OliviaWilliford]

none of those names are really that hard if you've been reading Kiera Cass's work long lmao XDD this was so funny i love it..this was so me in the beginning

[kail]

JUST SEEING SCHREAVE AS AMERICAS LAST NAME MAKES ME SO HAPPY :(((

[NA-xzmh]

I'M DYING THIS IS TOTALLY HILARIOUS 😂😂😂😂 Kiera Cass, you are desperately needed here
