I just realized that the main game is gonna have a Lina, Lena and Lea at some point.
I foresee zero confusion whatsoever.
I foresee zero confusion whatsoever.
I'm too european to see the problem ( all three of those names sound very different )

I remember that we already had some confusion about the pronunciation of Lina and Lena. So, for everyone's sake, here's my interpretation of how it's pronounced where.
Lina: The "i" in German is pronounced like an "e" in English. In English, I would pronounce the "Li" like the word lie.
Lena: The "e" in German is pronounced similarly to the "e" in, for example, "ever". The English pronunciation would probably be identical to the German pronunciation of Lina, but if I were a Lena, I wouldn't feel addressed by it.
Lea is basically the same as Lena, just without the "n".

All of these have and will be pronounced by the name haver in the US a zillion different ways. We have like no standardized name pronunciation here, and that's before you take into account regional accents. I'd for sure double check my pronunciation, if not already properly introduced, for all those names.

The Murrica pronunciation of all 3 is very nearly the same (1st 2 for sure) but Lea drops the "n" sound
But also knowing they are not names of US citizens many generations in, we (some of us) do get the alternate pronunciations.
Lina -- LEEna
Lena -- LEEna in USA but I assume you mean more like Lenna as far as a US pronunciation
Lea -- LEEah in USA, this one could be closer to Leia but I am not certain your intent on that one.
Killer7 I edited this post to maybe help more

Lea and Katharina are German, so it would be Leh-ah. Lena is more like "Lehna" with a longer E. You basically say the Le for Lea and Lena the same.

That's Because the english speaking audience do not open their minds to other pronunciations from other languages
Und übrigens, meine Familie stammt aus Deutschland, genauer gesagt aus Norddeutschland in der Nähe von Bremerhaven

Not Murican. English in general, anywhere around the world lol. They are all pronounced, in English, practically exactly the same.

True but there are some distinctions and as I am not learned in the King's/Queen's English I only speak to the Murrican lingo
I have been told my accent is somewhere between New York and Boston, so I would pronounce them:
Lina -- LEANah
Lena -- Laynah (sort of like the ELaina without the E) or possibly LENah, like the male name Len or Glen with an A on the end
Lea -- LEEah
Lina -- LEANah
Lena -- Laynah (sort of like the ELaina without the E) or possibly LENah, like the male name Len or Glen with an A on the end
Lea -- LEEah

Yeah so I should have tried this earlier but our US (typically) long e
would match the vowel sound from krieg
Our long I would match the vowel sounds from zwei
