Americans can't say Mario properly.

In Italy where the name originates, it's pronounced "Mah-ri-o". So no, Americans are saying it right

Wow, I've actually never heard anyone pronounce it like that. One name I always got confused with was Chao when its pronounced Chow.

Mappy, it's "Mah-pee", not "Maw-pee".

Project X Zone is pronounced as "Project Cross Zone."

I didn't figure that out until after I had downloaded Demo A.

Ephraim and Eirika from Fire Emblem Sacred Stones.
I'd seriously pronounce their names as (Eff-Rame) instead of (Eff-Rem) and (Ear-Eeka) instead of (Err-ika)

I'm currently playing Sacred Stones right now, so now I know how to pronounce their names properly. Thanks, Dash!

On another note, Cucco... I've always pronounced it as "Cuck-koo". I don't give a crap how stupid I look, I'm still calling them Cuck-koos. I like that name more, danggit. ):<

Two words. Aluminum and herb, or "Urb" as you yanks call it for some reason.

It's the English language, not the American language.

Another couple- See-ga or Sey-ga, Oobie-soft of Youbie-soft.

Isn't it obvious that Falco Lombardi is actually a parrot?

When I was little my friend had a Metroid game, and said that you pronounced Samus as Sams. So I kept doing that too until I heard otherwise from other people x_x

The Chao refer to themselves using "cha-ohw," so I still use that.

you guys worry too much, it's all fine as long as it's possible for the others to understand, there's no need to be 100% correct.
