My name should be pronounced WILL-DER, but I realized it could be pronounced other ways, so I was curious... How do youse guys pronounce it?
"'Tis the business of small minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death."
-Thomas Paine

"Integrity and firmness is all I can promise; these, be the voyage long or short, shall never forsake me although I may be deserted by all men."
-George Washington

Courage: Not only the willingness to die manfully, but also the determination to live decently.

Heh, I'd always assumed it was Wild-er
"In the meantime, no one should roam the camp alone. Use the buddy system."
"Understood." Will looked at Nico. "Will you be my buddy?"
"You're a dork," Nico announced.

'Wyl' implies a long I, rather than a short I... I'd probably have gotten 'WILL-der' if it was 'Wyllder' or 'Willder,' but as is I pronounce it as 'WILD-er.'

Dreams, dreams are untapped and writhing. How much more real are dreams than that paltry existence which we now call reality? How shall we ascend to that which humanity is destined? By mastering the dreamworld of course. That is how, my pupils, that is how.

  Oh, yeah, no, mine too.  I've gotten at least a dozen separate pronunciations of my name.  Quite annoying.  :P

Does anyone pronounce the S in my name? I always say my name with a hard K and both the Z and the S at the end.

I always thought "Skars". But with a Z instead of a S. So I pronounce it like it's spelled.

  Same here.  I view the "s" as a silent letter.  Skarz.

I've always pronounced it Skarts.
