Re: Fandom (mis)pronunciations

I got into Durarara!! by reading the novels first, and I thought Celty was pronounced with a hard C like how most people pronounce Celtic. Which made sense to me, because she’s specifically Irish(despite having a Scandinavian sounding last name, Sturluson). But then I watched the anime and was surprised to hear it be pronounced “Sell-tee”. Like how the team The Boston Celtics is pronounced here in America.



This is a completely separate thing from mispronunciations that I still find funny, but I remember someone on TV Tropes saying Celty’s last name should be something like Sturlustotter instead of Sturluson, because the “-son” part means “son of”, and the “-stotter” means “daughter of”. You know, because she’s a girl. I know they probably thought that sounded smart or made sense. But like, it’s her last name? It’s not literal? Have they never heard of any girl that has a last name with “-son” at the end? Because that’s honestly incredible.

The only explanation for that TV Tropes opinion would be if the Troper was Icelandic and very sheltered, or very stubbornly nationalistic in a weird pushy way.
