Something like thins...

X is usually read as Z or S in Slovakian languages. A lot of people do that mistake.

Th - F.

I said that I can read it with English pronounciation... It's impossible for people with English as the native language.

And if I read it with Polish pronounciation... It's easy.

Yes X reads as S i just tried make it engelish-like -_-

TH in Ukranian is more like "HA/HO" kind a sound.

SH i think its more of a same sound but prolonged like SHHHHH like if you were shooshing some 1 to shut up

Y- is more like a U sound

Yxthoshth.

U-S-HO-SHH-HOOO When i pronbounce it in Ukranina though its not bad either.. sounds like a last Name

But then again SOme people have trouble pronouncing Ukranina and Polish Last names. -_- they definetly translate them wrong

It was definetly not taken from any slovkian Russian/Ukranian/Polish languages for sure

TH in Polish is... T and H, as in "hhhhhemo". Or your "ho" with T and shorter O. THo.

SH is the same in Poland. And Y is "i" or for English folks, "E" in Poland. So I'd say "I-S-THo-SHH-THo". But it's very hard to say it for someone without a pure, noble Slovakian tongue.

And yeah, a lot of people have no idea how to pronounce our surnames. It's worse in some cases where Poles have troubles reading Polish names. Happens a lot.

Same thing Some Ukranina Last names go back to when Russias capital city was A Ukranina Capital...

I-S-THo-SHH-THo
U-S-HO-SHH-HOOO

I am always amazed on how 2 languages are simular... when i am In my Polish Friends house every week for our weekly booze consuming rituals i almost alwasy understand what his parents saying to him.. Sadly i can speak the language at all.. certain words are so simular it takes no effort at all

Like the example of the 2 words both are in 5 parts (or so)

witht he difference of I and U sounds and the Ts the words are identical when i say both of them they sound simular exept the first I and U sounds.

Ah well, it's also not hard to pronounce in Dutch, just don't do it 10 times in succession.

Yxthoshth

Iksthosjt, the Y is like the 'i' in milk, and the 'h' can be a silence(?) h.

Oswald the Amiable
Either he is the misfit child of two monks, or some other thing went horribly wrong. In the world of Necromancers he won't go anywhere with this name. "Ohh, looks it's Blood Necro Oswald sacrificing health to cast a spell, ain't that just too cute."

Not a boss, but close enough to disaster is the Master of Whispers, whose German name is one letter away from being the Master of Smells; and it's not he who smelt it, dealt it, we all know it was him.

Ok so he's not TECHNICALLY a boss. But he's a unique monster, with a unique name >_>

This one isn't really "silly" per se, but it sure is one of the longest ones I've seen.

Senkai, Lord of the 1000 Daggers Guild

Others:
Bubahl Icehands (for some reason I almost always say blue balls instead of Bubahl, add in the Icehands it's even worse haha)

Black Beast of Aaaarrrrgggghhh

Nayl Klaw Thuthan (eh?)
Old Red Claw
Pell Glitterglatter (lol)
Pleoh the Ugly
Vrek Qwek Spek (okay...)
Whiteout (epic!)

I know there are more but I'm too lazy to Wiki them all.

Black Beast and Whiteout take my top votes though.

Thraexis Thundermaw

This guy has barely and "maw" to speak of. When I first saw the name (through Eye of the North Brand the Boss) I thought it would clearly go to a Wurm boss.

Grook Plugalug, Spasmo Thunderbolt and Quickroot (I've never understood that name. How can roots be quick?).
