I pronounce them in my mother language >_>; which is really close to the Japanese pronounciation, except for the "ge", "gi", "ce", "ci" syllables, which are guttural sounds in Japanese. Anyway:

La-vees
Meel-lah
Pahr-tee-sun
A-gee-tou
San-ghe (guttural)
Ka-moo-ee
Sa-tou

Hard to tell you but:
Lavis: La(as in lab or laboratory)-vis
Milla: Mill(as in million)-uh
Partisan: Par(like in golf)-tis-un
Agito: Uh-gee-toe
Sange: Sawn-jee
Kamui: Kuh-moo-ee
Sato: Say-toe
And my brother pronounces Sato: Sat(like sat down)-o

Lavis
- Hm, La(like in Lava)-vis
Milla
- Milla? Like, the gun? Then like Million.
Partisan
- ... isn't this an english word? =}
Agito
Sange
Kamui
- These are Japanese names, so the Japanese way. =}
Sato
- Sha-to

... I tend to pronounce everything in the Japanese way (especially since I also have language set on Japanese... so the subliminal influence... hehe)

edit: Stupid me.

lah-viss (kinda like lava and kiss together without the second A or the K)
mill-uh
part-ih-zen
ah-gee-toe (hard G, like good)
sahn-gh (almost sauna and a hard G, like good)
kah-moo-E
sah-toe

Others to add to that list...

Yamigarasu
yah-me-gah-rah-sss (hard G, like good) I sometimes accidentally say soo at the end, but it's a japanese word so the final U should be silent.

Hitogata
he-toe-gah-tah

Gi Gue
gee-goo (both are hard Gs, like good) This sounds like a babbling baby

Mericarol
meh-rih-carol (meh sounds like men, rih sounds like rinse)

Mericus
meh-rih-cuss (don't swear, now)

Merikle
meh-rih-kull (kull sounds similar to skull)

[Nai_Calus]

Mine, couple of other things too:

Lavis - La as in law, vis as in visa. Random useless note: 'Lavis' is spelled RAVISU in katakana, as opposed to using the much more common BI for VI. I've only ever seen 'VI'(U with a " on it and a small I) in one other place that I recall, the katakana spelling of Sailor Venus in the Sailor Moon manga.
Milla - Mill-ah
Partisan - Par as in party, ti as in tickle, san as in San Fransisco(The way idiots pronounce it, not the correct pronunciation)
Agito - ah-gee(hard g)-toh
Sange - Sahn-geh
Kamui - Kah-moo-ee
Sato - Useless piece of crap
Gi Gue - Gee(hard g) gway
Mericarol - meh-ree-care-ohl(I fail to see what's so damn merry about it.)
Calus - kahl-oos (I think I'm the only person in the universe who says it like that.)
Kireek - kihr-eek
Rati - Sexy

Well, I am by no means a language expert, but I'm pretty sure of these:

Lah-vis
Mee-yah
Par-tuh-sin
Ah-gee-toe or Uh-ge-toe (whichever you prefer, they're both right)
Sahn-guh
Kah-moo-ee
Say-toe

Hope that helps.

P.S. Ignore the others. ONLY I AM RIGHT!
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

The way idiots pronounce it may be wrong, but yours is certainly not right...

I didn't mean the way idiots say 'partisan', I mean the way idiots say 'San Fransisco'. 'a' as in apple and all that rot. I know mine isn't right, it's just the way I pronounce it without thinking about it. It should be more of an 'a' as in father, but whatever. I used to get weird looks when I lived in California for pronouncing the name of the city Vallejo correctly. Heh.

I don't pronounce a lot of things correctly. I learned how to read when I was three, but I never did learn how to speak English correctly. >_>; Of course, one could blame English for being a piece of crap that doesn't follow it's own rules half the time for that.

[Mixfortune]

Of course, everyone cshould blame English for being a piece of crap that doesn't follow it's own rules half the time for that.



Slight edit.

Any hints on how to pronounce Caduceus?
I figure it's either:
Ka-doo-kee-us
Kad-jew-kus
Ka-doo-shus
or some combination of these http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[VulpesMundi]

Caduceus (kah-doo-see-us; kah-dyoo-see-us is also acceptible) n. 1. the staff of an ancient herald; esp., the winged staff with two serpents twined about it, carried by Mercury. 2. a staff like this twined with one or two serpents, used as a symbol of the medical profession.
