How to pronounce those surnames in SecondLife?
I want to register a resident ID in SecondLife, it's a interesting virtual environment. However, I have to choose a surname in its drop list. English is not my first language, and I don't know the pronunciation of those words, it's difficult to choose a suitable one. Who can help me give the phonetic transcription of the words, such as Aeghin, Amiot, Urriah...

- choose a suitable one.
- [/nq] They aren't English, either.
- The first, and perhaps the second, look like they might be fictional Early English, either someone's idea of what might have been spoken in post-Roman Britain or someone's idea of Anglo-Saxon; the third is a misspelling of the name "Uriah," taken from Hebrew and never (for years and years, anyway) actually used as an English name.

[nq:1]Never? Will we never learn? Uriah Rennie is a current Premiership football referee.[/nq]
I immediately thought of Uriah Heep (sic?), though he's just a fictional character.

Because of the disgusting Uriah Heep, "Uriah" seems an unwise choice; in any case, it isn't a surname as requested. "Amyot" is usually a surname (from French), and AFAIK has no unpleasant associations.

I find this webpage, most of the available last names are "ugly, weird, icky, odd" to the writer. It seems those name are actually curious.
