Let's decide how to pronounce her name, once and for all.

And 神主 spelling her name as チルノ (CHI-RU-NO) does not count because 神主 a shit.

>sir-no
>chi-ru-no
>cheer-no
>sheer-no
>kirn-oh
>car-no
>tss-erno
>char-no
>czar-no
>blarney stone

Which one is it, /jp/?

I alternative between a couple pronunciations. Sir-no feels right as an English speaker and is the one I use everywhere normally, and in my dirty fantasies I pronounce her name as chee-runo for some reason.

Oppai Cirno is best Cirno.

Then your requirements are both severely limited, and wrong, as Cirno herself said she doesn't care how you pronounce her name.

Does anyone have the pic where she said that?

I don't really put much stock in Japanese pronunciations since their language is uses so many syllables that it bogs down non-Japanese names.
As an example, I'm playing through Dungeon Travelers 2 and a name like "Connette" is pronounced "Co-nett-o".
I don't call her "Co-nett-o".

チ is pronounced as "chi" so if you say anything other than "chi-ru-no" then you're a retard who believe he has any authority in changing the meaning of things (i.e. the usual American). At most you can use "chirno" instead, because that ル becomes a normal r in any other language.
>>
I've always said it seer-no (Cirno)
>>
I can tell that "Chi ru no" is supposed to be correct and accept it as such

but every time I think it my mind just goes to "Sir no" and that's how I'd say it off the top of my head

Cherno.

But for real here, Cirno is actually meant to be Chillno. The Japanese pronuciation turns that into Chiruno, which translations fucked and turned into Cirno.

Chillno
Chi-ru-no
Cirno

This fits much more with the naming convention of all the other fairies, who always have cutesy English names that describe what they represent: Sunny Dew, Luna Child, Star Sapphire, Lily White, Clownpiece. Chillno makes more sense with this naming theme than Cirno. Daiyousei does not count because she never got an official name (and even then, you could just make her Big/Great Fairy).

Unfortunately Cirno is now so widespread and ingrained in everyone's minds that it can't be changed anymore.

I've never pronounced it out loud because I never talk to people
But I pronounce it chi ru no in my head

It's Cheerno. Nips say Chiruno because their tongues can't handle such strange enunciation as an r being so close to an n.

Flan dre

Also I understand Cirno is supposed to be pronounced Cheer-ooh-no in Japanese and that "Cirno" is a shitty translation of it but when simply shown the name "Cirno" I think it should be

Cir no
(Sear) (no)

That being said, I've taken to just calling her Chillno.

I formatted this weird and I hope it doesn't get fucked up when I post it.

Learn the alphabet, yes the english one, but as the letters sound as part of a word.
so A for Apple, or B for Book
The "bu" from book and the "ah" for apple. It's those you need to know and remember. Pretend that the english words percentage and success don't exist in the dictionary.
Now read Japanese names using those phonetic letters.

>>
>>15393530
I'm not American, so I don't have the cool accent, but I speak English.
the "HOT" in "SUPR HOT" is how everyone outside of America pronounces "hot". With a really deep "O". That why I was losing my shit when you said
>Hat ta te
>(as in "hot")
but with an American accent, that's actually correct.
>>
>>15393576
oops, was supposed to respond to
>>15393547
>>
>>15393461
Reading it "hotato" just makes it seem like it should rhyme with "potato", even to an American's eyes. Putting in two Ts would be a more obvious indicator that it's the short o.

Americans are almost able to say "hot toddy" and get away with it.
