14. how do you pronounce my OCs' names?
I'm often asked in the comments of my books how certain OCs' names are pronounced, so I've decided to compile a list of pronunciations. Of course, some names will sound different to you if you pronounce them with your own accent. I've written these names out how they are pronounced according to the culture they come from. For example, the Hispanic/Latin names will be written out as if you are pronouncing them with a Hispanic/Latin accent. I don't like whitewashing my characters' names.
These will be various names from each series of mine— both main and side characters. Some names may seem obvious, but I didn't want to skip anyone.
