Just met a Gane

[soultrane]

Pronounced Jane. That's not how it works, people! 

[Idani]

Ugh. I thought it was like Gain and for a boy. NOT that that would be better by anymeans

[Deleted]

For Christ's sake, people, we do not live in the land of the Hunger Games, nor do we live in Westeros. Letters do not actually take the place of others like this!

[jazzra369]

there are no words to describe the ridiculousness of that pronunciation.

[joy]

It genuinely concerns me that people don't read Cersei and think "Like Circe, the Greek goddess?" 

All too soon, it will be "Circe?  Like Cersei, the mom of Joffrey?"

[DanaScullyX]

You're not serious. I cannot accept this.

I was actually hoping it was this for some reason.....It's not better it's just...marginally less horrible? Ish?

....I always pronounced it differently....with an "a" sound.....And it seems on the HBO adaptation, it gets pronounced a bit differently by lots of characters. So I guess I'm one of the people who concerns you. 

I am sorry.

[soultrane]

Totally serious. I assumed it was a typo since the J and G are kind of close on the keyboard. Nope, she confirmed the spelling and pronunciation when I questioned it. Poor girl!

Wow. Poor girl will be called gain a lot. What is wrong with Jane?

No Plain Jane for that mom! Gane is special, dammit!

Nooooooo...  You aren't!  There is a *slight* variation in some speakers for the name.  I'll give you that.

But my point was more Circe and Cersei are very similar sounding, but Greek Goddess should trump Westeros and I'm worried it will become the other way around.

Well, on that we can agree. Come, let us celebrate our understanding by the adding of chocolate to milk.

You don't have to worry about me! I'm a Greek mythology nut though, so I automatically think of The Odyssey when I hear the name.

Okay, but for me I want to add wine to my wine.

I'm glad you'll put on real pants for this idea. 

Soon - you can add wine to your wine, too!

When I first read the title I was like, well okay, I guess I could see meeting a little boy named Gane, I've met a Gage, so why not. But WTF...

[AleWife]

Morons. That poor child.

[setsuna17]

I'm imagining it being pronounced Gah-nay. Lol.

We watched the first season of GoT before I read the books and I thought it was Circe just from watching the show.
