Villager Name Pronunciations

[Captain James]

Firstly, how do you pronounce Portia? I say it like port, like a dock, and the eeeee ahhhh. Some people pronounce it Porshia, like the car the looks like a beluga whale.

As well, when I try and call for my villagers, Kapp'n ALWAYS responds.

Do you guys have trouble too? Or am I just pathetic?

 

[GreenLeaf]

I pronunce the t like a z sound Porzia ( but I'm not a native speaker )

 

[Mimikyu]

Portia is pronounced Pore-sha

 

[Zireael]

But yeah I'm pretty sure it's Pore-sha.

 

[Videoguy612]

Yeah when I was younger I used to call her Portia por tee ah lol.

 

[AmarilloVerde]

I remember 'Phoebe' being impossible to get voice recognition when she lived in one of my old towns. I ended up getting an answer by just making incoherent noises lol

 

[Flare]

Is it "Foe-be" or "Fee-be?"
Prefer to say "Foe-be" tbh...

 

[lemoncrossing]

I prefer to say it like "fee-be" but that's just my personal opinion.

How do you pronounce Lucha's name, though?

[That Marshal Fangirl]

I know Phoebe is supposed to be pronounced "fee-bee" but when I had her and I called for her through the megaphone I said "foe-buh" and she answered so...XD

 

[Zireael]

I prefer to say it like "fee-be" but that's just my personal opinion.

How do you pronounce Lucha's name, though?

I think Lucha is like Luke-ah? That's how I've always said it but I could be wrong.

 

[Hopeless Opus]

[nammie]

Yea I also say pore-sha... like Portia de rossi

 

[creamyy]

when I was younger I used to pronounce it like Port-eyah but now I pronounce it like Porsha. Also, whenever I call for ANYONE kapp'n always responds -.-

 

[Nodokana]

I pronounce that name as "Por-sha"

 

[TooManyBunnies]

Lucha is a luchador, a Mexican wrestler. It's pronounced loo-cha.

 

[Cottonball]

Like the car almost porsch- ea

 

[FruityLogic]

It's interesting to see different pronunciations people have for certain words! But I always pronounced Portia's name like the car.

 

[Dolphishy]

I've always pronounced Portia with a 'sh,' Phoebe like Fee-bee, and Lucha like the beginning of Luchador.

 

[AmarilloVerde]

I know how to pronounce Phoebe, it just never mattered in calling her. She didn't respond to any pronunciation.
