Daken was pronounced wrong. Daken is Japanese. It's pronounced how it looks [at least to me, who spends most of his day looking at Japanese words]
Daken - Dah-Ken
All the other ones I'm unsure about. I used to pronounce Thanos as "They-nos" but now I pronounce it "Than-ose."

Day-Ken's romaji would be Deiken.
Dah as in...like...how Russians say yes [I think]. Dah-Ken.

Gamora- Guh-mor-uhI'm getting more than one pronunciation.I wonder which one is correct.
Kelsey Leigh (Lionheart)- Lee
The should have a pronunciation Key in the handbooks.
I agree. I'm basing mine on language usage where the character is from. In many languages Leigh would be pronounced lay. Since she is British, I assume she pronounces it Lee, since that is the traditional English pronunciation of that spelling. I believe that spelling is actually Gaelic and has a coughing almost gutteral actual pronunciation, kind of like Lie-hough, but one syllable. I'm just giving you Gamora how I say it because since she's alien, I have no real frame of reference.

I was watching Planet Hulk and Crisis on two earths last night and both annunciated names differently then i thought they were supposed to be.
Caiera - my way (See.are.a) Movie way (Key.ear.a)
Sakaarson - My way (Sack.are.son) Movie way (Sack.air.sen)
Other one i noticed was that Caiera didnt pronounce the Hulks name (Holku). I know people have rights and preivilages when making a movie there wers just some small things that i thought would have been closer to the book and not taken any less time.
Spectre - my way (Speck.tra) movie way (Specter)

This is just how I say them
Dah-ken
Thay-nose (which I'm sure is actually pronounced Than-ose, after "thanatos" the greek word)
Hime-dall
Gam-or-ah
Ay-knee-ass
Ch-thon (which, again, I'm sure is really pronounced "Thon" after the real word "chthonic")
Die-oh-ny-sis
Broon-hill-duh
Dine, like "dining out"
Kazar was "Kay-zar" in the X-Men animated series.
Daken is "Dah-ken," both because that's actually how the Japanese word for "mongrel" is pronounced and because the creators rhymed it with "rockin" at least once. If I can find the interview, I will post it.
Thanos should probably be "Than-ose" to relate it to Thanatos, whose name his was clearly based on; however, he is an alien, so who actually knows. Gamora has the same "alien, no actual frame of reference" problem, but I've always said "Ga-more-a."
Mxyzptlk has more than once compared it to the English words "Mix Yes Pit Lick."
Shang chi.
I was watching a history channel documentary about Bruce Lee and the brought up the comic characters inspired by Bruce Lee which were iron fist and shang chi but the narrator pronounced Shang Chi like "Shang Shy" Is it "Chee" or "shy"?
@DFChewie:
I guess I can more or less confirm those with other sources:
I just randomly came across a reprint of Ka-zar's first appearance, and it actually says right on the first page "pronounced KAY-sar!"
Also in this month's Batman: Brave and the Bold, there's a note that says Mxyzptlk is pronounced "Mix-yez-pitel-ick." B:B&B isn't officially canon, but the note is editorial, not part of the story.
Is it "Thah-nohss" or "Tha-nohss" or "Thay-noss"? I'm debating with a friend of mine on how it is pronounced.
