I always pronounce Tasmia 'Taz-myuh', with a really quick second/third syllables to almost rhyme with 'Tin-yuh'.
And for Querl (Brainy, since he's never called this anymore), Quer (as in query)- el. And I know what else that sounds like, but I didn't as a 9 or 10 year old, so there.

It just seems awkward to me to say "Kam" or, worse, "Come." So, I've always said "Sham," as well.

Nice to hear someone else says "sham". It's embarassing...the root of the whole thing is that I didn't know how 'chameleon' was pronounced when I was a kid first picking up the Legion. I thought the word was said like 'SHAM-a-lon' based largely on evreyone calling him Cham. It was an eye-opener when I realized how the word should be said, but I stuck with saying 'sham' for the nickname.

Is it Dark'seed' or Dark'side'?
I've been collecting the Legion for about 23 years now, and until very recently, I always pronounced it "Dark...seed". Although it always sounded "right" to me, I've been recently corrected.

Queer-El, huh? What would Kara say? Too bad it doesn't stand up to gradeschool humor, I actually really like that for the pronunciation. Query-- that'd be appropriate for Brainy! I always read it as sounding like Squirrel myself, though...
And I'm surprised after Apartheid, people didn't start proncing it "Dark-SATE"... It's always been DarkSIDE for me.

Shvaughn seems to be a furture version of Siobhan, which is pronounced "sho-von." That's how I pronounce it.
