Lauren Faust: How do you really pronounce her name?

[SticksLikeGlue 91]

I've been hearing a lot of people pronouncing Faust in different ways. I've heard Fowst and Fawst. The AU in Faust I think should be pronounced like you're saying aw. Let me know if I'm wrong.

Ow.   Like I hurt myself. Fowst.  

 

As in German play Faust.

English play Dr. Faustus.

etc.

So I was saying it right all along?

[PiratePony 8,473]

I'm pretty sure you have, yes.

Pretty easy, it is German. Just remember Panzerfaust from all those WW2 games and movies.

[Cimarronboy 247]

Agreed, it's pronounced like a launcher not a berry off of pokemon (fowst instead of rost)

[Crusaders Forever 88]

I say her name like the person from Guilty Gear.

I'll read it both ways. I don't really notice the fact that I do.

Her name is pronounced thusly: Lor-ren. < _<

 

What?  Topic question's already been thoroughly answered. xD

Haha, I was just thinking you can't be serious till I read the second portion right as I was about to type.

She herself has said it's like "how now brown Fowst".

Hi, as this topic doesn't actually relate to the show, even though it's about the show's creator, I don't think it belongs in show discussion. As it isn't about ponies at all it may belong in off topic, but I'm going to move it to Sugarcube Corner for now.

If you could go ahead and lock it as well, as it has already been answered. I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

No problem. I ran this topic by my fellow mods and was told that a topic of this nature is best suited for blog posts and status updates, so I was about to lock it anyways. However, mutual agreement does make it easier to click that lock button.
