Answer 2

I suggest that you pronounce the the last name, and I presume you know the first name--Roof-us--as one would pronounce scrim(mage) and (dinos)aur The result, scrim + j + ore = scrim-jore. Just a guess. Hard telling what her intentions were for a fantasy name, without knowing more about her predilections for pronunciations. Hope it helps.

Answer 4

The first part is easy enough, Scrim, then think of the word 'sure' and replace the 's' sound with a 'j' sound instead. There you have it.

Answer 5

I agree with what was said above "scrim-jure"

Scrim-ah-jaw
