You'll see three things: (1) an IPA transcription like /ˈsoʊ.faɪ.ə/, (2) a simple phonetic guide like SO-fye-uh, and (3) a syllable-by-syllable breakdown with the stressed syllable highlighted. Copy the simple guide into your email signature, LinkedIn bio, or business card to tell people how to say your name correctly. You can also switch the name type to Last Name for surname pronunciation.
IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) is a standardized system for representing speech sounds. It provides an unambiguous way to write pronunciation that works across all languages. For example, "photography" is /fəˈtɒɡrəfi/. This is incredibly useful for brand names and personal names because it removes ambiguity — everyone who reads IPA knows exactly how to pronounce the name, regardless of their native language.

Phonetically strong names tend to have: clear vowel-consonant alternation, familiar sound patterns in target languages, distinct syllables, avoidance of difficult consonant clusters (like "thskt"), and stress on the first or second syllable. Our complexity score and red flag system help quantify these qualities objectively so you can compare name options side by side.
Our tool provides simulated pronunciations based on phonetic rules for each accent. While highly informative for comparison purposes, the audio is generated by browser speech synthesis and may not capture all nuances of natural speech. For critical brand decisions or naming a child, we recommend testing with native speakers of your target markets. Think of this as a fast first-pass filter, not a replacement for human ears.
