What is the weirdest hero name pronunciation youve heard people say?

General Discussion

besides how every other people say these names like this
ana - ena
brigitte - brigitte with an alternative T sound
hanzo - henzo
pharah - pherah
zarya - zaria
lucio - lusheeo

mine was jenji, he thought it was jenji because there was an E after G

another weird thing is that in Korea, Lucio’s name is actually luciu, u as in uber, but why ._.?

Some people in EU pronounce junkrat as yunkrat for some reason. I don’t know where they’re from, but it’s so cute lol

Also I once heard someone pronounce Symmetra as Seemeetra for some reason. That one was so cringy…

Baguette. I like it better than Brigitte though, so I think I will use Baguette from now on.

I remember seeing an old, old YouTube video where a guy called Mercy - Merky, and pronounced “barrage” in “rocket barrage” the same way you’d pronounce baggage.

Symetra - see-me-tree-a
moira - morea

Well, there are the people who don’t/can’t get used to pronounce the “H” sound so they say “Anzo” or “Enzo” instead of Hanzo. I’m guilty of that out of lazyness most of the time.

I have honestly no clue for Brigitte. There is probably a swedish pronounciation and an english one, and I don’t know which one is the correct one and even if I did, I still don’t know how that name is pronounced in either Sweden or in the USA. I just go with something between Breegeet and Breeyeet.

Other than that… I rarely heard people say the heroes’ names, so I don’t know.
