There really is no right or wrong way to pronounce them, but some have asked how I hear/say the names of the characters in The Fireblade Array. Bear in mind that I sound like an English southerner (mostly) and that my 'r's sound flat rather than rhotic (e.g. "art" would probably sound like "ahht" to a North American). I've written this with the non-rhotic, English 'r' in mind. I probably should have done this with the proper phonetic letters (like the stuff they have on Wikipedia), but that was too much work!
In any case - here is your handy, pull-out guide:
