How do you pronounce...?

Or, how about...

Regina.

Many American say it like the girl's name: Ree-gee-nah.

I notice many Brits say it like the female pretty part: Rhymes with vagina.

Ki-noo-neer

[EDIT]
Regina .... as the man said Ree-jeye-ner (confirming the UK pronunciation)

[EDIT again - just can't keep up]
Gauss ... Gowsz

Or, even...

Gauss.

I say: Gowss (sounds like "cow" with long "s" attached).

Notice that some people say: Gahss (take "gas" and use the schwah sound for the "a")

As this in named for Gauss, it's easy to establish that it should be like 'gous' - from dictionary definitions.

If you're Vilani: Ki-noo-near.
Core/Solomani Anglic: Kin-yoo-near.
Riftian Anglic: Ken-ah-near.

I'm afraid I'd have to go for the Vilani pronunciation of Kinunir, the Latin pronunciation of Regina, and the German pronunciation of Gauss. Anything else is just plain wrong!
