When deciding how Celuien's name is supposed to be pronounced is the intellectual feat of the day...
When you start thinking that "Nogrod" must mean something in Finnish...

French would be as Kath says ..... soft initial C like Celine.....
But if it is Elvish it has to be the hard .... but I never remember that when I think names.......

Well, I think I can blame this on Latin and Italian... but I've found myself saying "Chel-oo-ien".
But the Tolkienist says "No, blockhead, you have to use the Elven Hard C." So I alternate with "Kel-oo-ien". And then there's Joe Bloe's English: "Sel-oo-ien". Yup. Addicted.
