Someone needs to tell me how to pronounce these names. I'm sure they are cooler than I am interpreting. Lijuan, Is it LEE-Wan? LEE- Jwan? Xi... I don't even know so I'm like ZEE lol. Aodhan, is it AA-O-Dan? Aiden? Janvier, I think is french, but I don't speak the language so.. JAN-Vey?? ugh. Any help with unfamiliar names would be good.

Leah Lijuan is pronounced 'Lee-Huan. The j is pronounced as a h. Xi is pronounced just like the letter Z, or your ZEE. Aodhan is pronounced Ayden (I assume anyhow). Janvier is pronounced shah-n-vier.
Hope I helped!

Buttercup Aodhan is pronounced Aiden. It is an old Irish name that comes from the name Aodh. Aodhan means 'little flame'.
I am irish and my whole family have Irish names. My brother Aodhan died in April this year but it was lovely to see his name in a story.

Lijuan: is where it gets tricky pronounced is LEE- huan? but the audible narrator pronunces it Leighuan its weird. Li is pronunces Lee and Juan huan
