Not a whole lot to explain here, other then that i've noticed how many different ways people have figured out to pronounce names from Final Fantasy. I'm also including a complete name analysis, which you can access by clicking on the name of the character. Section 1 is character names, section 2 is the Guardian Forces, section 3 is other stuff. Some of them are pretty straight forward, but people read things oddly sometimes...well, enough said.
