I've always called him Joe-Tun.

You are 100% correct.

I used to play with a kid who called him "John John".

Me and my brother updated that to "Yon John" and rolled with that.

It is Yo-Ton for sure.

Being from Scotland I disagree.
We pronounce it Ji-meh!

Re: This has been keeping me awake for almost 2 decades
 

Yo-tun for me.

Re: This has been keeping me awake for almost 2 decades
 

Yoh!-tun is how I've always pronounced it. Anyone who pronounces otherwise is a scoundrel and should be sent to boarding school to learn to be a proper gentleman.

I am indeed a scoundrel and pronounce it Jotun, because that is how it is spelled and I speak english. :mrgreen:

This is all based on Norse mythology so pronouncing the J as a Y would be correct. Surely you do the same for Jandar, right? ;)
