Now, spelling those names in the true medieval Greek fashion would be quite an undertaking of itself, huh?

Just a rule of thumb: Most "B"s in the beginning of a name (and many others) are actually pronounced "V", most "u"s when after an "e" are pronounced as "ph" and most "D"'s in the beginning of the words are pronounced "Th" (as in "the").

Some examples:
- Basileus: Vasilephs
- Basileios: Vasileios
- Doukas: Thoukas
etc. etc.
