I tend to say "shaw-min" or "shaw-man." "Shay-min" sounds really odd to me. And "shay-man" just sounds completely wrong.
EDIT: strange. I had a fourth option (shay-man), but it didn't show up. Hmmm.....

I tend to go with Shay-mun. But that's just me.
Maybe it's my Philadelphia accent but I say Sha-min. No "W" in there at all.
cha-mane for me. What word is next Northstar? Heather?

Uh, is that a long "a" or a short "a" ? (That's why I used "shaw" and "shay.")Originally Posted by PWalk
I looked it up on dictionary.com and the pronounciation given was: shaw-men.
How does Wolverine say it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IFdpbbzNjI
Where I live people use both shay-min and shaw-men, neither one seems to be better than the other.
Keep your stick on the ice.
Live it.
I guess I would pronounce it 'Shay Men'

Driftwood: Well, I got about a foot and a half. Now, it says, uh, "The party of the second part shall be known in this contract as the party of the second part."
Fiorello: Well, I don't know about that...
Driftwood: Now what's the matter?
Fiorello: I no like-a the second party, either.
Driftwood: Well, you should've come to the first party. We didn't get home 'til around four in the morning... I was blind for three days!
I always pronounced it Shaw-man
the name that always gets people confused is Magneto
I always pronounced it Mag-neeto
But I do hear Mag-neto
Seriously? That's funny, Mag-neto sounds like a kiddy magnet game.Originally Posted by mos_def
"Hey kids, rainy day? What's there to do!?"
"MAG-NETO!"
Mag-neeto just sounds more evil.
what way do they pronounce it in the movie? For myself, Magneto is one of those words I simply pronounce in french for laxism or lack of knowning how to pronounce it or simply by habit.Originally Posted by Canucklehead
But I don't like "evil" Magneto. I like him better in the gray area, so I guess I would like better Mag-ne-to pronounciation (whatever it is :P )

In the movie it's Mag-neeto. A long E. The other way would sound like a quick Mag-nit-o, which to me still sounds like a kid's game. Maybe evil is too strong a word. The long E just demands more respect.Originally Posted by syvalois
For Shaman, it's the oposite of the strong E in Mag-neeto. I use the soft A like Shaw-muhn.
His name is pronounced just the same as the word "Magneto" in the dictionary (Mag-neet-oh).
