I always find usernames intersing. FOr years I have been pronouncing Carolly's user names as "haus--ka-door" and recently reallized it is pronounced "Hawks-daughter". I prenounced Pdxjims as "pad-jicks-ums" Don't ask mme why and realize now is it "P-D-x-Jims" Mine is easy but my last name is Kisiel, pronounced like "whistle" but with a "K". lol SO how is your usernames pronounced.

Rawn=Ron ..the extra "rr" is the rest of my initials ;)

"mar-shun man-hun-ter". :)

its spelt zollster but i answer to Master ;)

"kai" as in the character Kai in Lexx the H was added cos of so many ppl using "kai" at various sites..

Now I always thought Kisiel rhymed with diesel.... live'n learn. Mine's my real name anyway and the G is pronounced as in joke not golf ;-)

lol @ Martian_Manhunter now I am curious is Randym77 pronouced "Randy-M-77" or Random-77"

Mine is pronounced Zee-bra... Actually, its just Destro, like the old silver-faced Cobra guy from Gi Joe. The 75 was the year I was born... Cool thread Anton, I often look at user names crosseyed and wonder how they should be pronounced!

"Bloh-fyld", as the evil Spectre mastermind in James Bond movies (BTW it's a German surname, so if I'm wrong please some German-speaking people to correct me!).

Charlie. ;)

Ney-jour ("jour" pronounced like the french "Bonjour") :)

Sam Therapy. Straightforward. :)

Well, my user name is pretty simple but last name is another thing. Most people pronounce mine as Cloot or clod...seems simple to me...it's Clout prounounced like cloud with a t.

Great thread Anton - next step would be to inquire what does your last name mean.

:)

It's Random-77. From my college nickname. I had (okay, still have) a tendency to veer off in random directions. :)

Vi-li-an
("Vi" like just "V", "li" like in "lily", "an" like in "banana" - it's difficult to find a word in English in which "an" pronounces similar to Polish).
I'm a RPG player for 7 years now and Vilian was my 3rd or 4th character ever created. She was my fav. She still is. I had to kill her after three years of playing because Game Master hadn't enough time for GM-ing anymore :( Edited to add: Vilian was created for a gift-game session on my 17th birthday. Maybe that's why I liked her so much.

It's pronounced "Featherstonehaugh".

Kayt-thuh-shroo (ok, I'm silly) and my RL last name is an occupation.

Kate

My husband and I have hundreds of stuffed elephants and they all call me mommy, hence mommy phant

odeathoflife - 'O' -as in the letter- death of life. It is a song I wrote when I was about 16. Half a life ago, it is really 'complete death of life' but that was too long for my yahoo email so I changed the complete to a sphere representing the complete, and since there is no sphere on the keyboard it is an o.

Ern Yoka in two words. Ern is not pronounced like Urn but I'm not sure what other english word comes close. Yoka is pronounced more or less like Joker (which is what it's supposed to be too) Ern is old norse for "the clever one" G You can calle me TrekkieGrrrl as well. Grrrl is pronounced like girl with a little roll on the r :o) And I thought Kisiel rhymed with diesel as well.

MistDragon is pretty straight-forward, but I always have mispronounciations of my last name, (June) Maillet. I get mallet, mail-it, maul-it, and how the hell do I pronouce this?! It's actually pronounced Mah-let, and once in a while a keener will say it in proper french, My-yay, which apparenlty means armourer or something? Cool thread!

Kap-sees. It is a combination of the Cap from Capricorn (my zodiac sign) and the sces from Pisces (my husband's zodiac sign). Hence, the logo with the capricorn and the fishies. ;) Of course, I'm known as Beth too, and me hubby man is Don. :) Anton, I'll never remember Kistle. ;) I've always thought Kisiel would be Kee-zee-ul.

Starkdog, Back a few years ago, there was a cartoon called EEK the Cat. There was a character there, Sharky the Shark-dog. Well, my last name is Starkey, thus my buddies called me Starkey the Starkdog, and so my nickname is now Starkdog.

garblesnix. pronounced "studly-man-meat-hottie-oh-who-am-I-kidding-I'll-never-wear-a-Speedo-again". The "studly-man-meat-hottie" is silent.

I'm trying to figure out why Sam Therapy's post links to my artist's page. "Not my last name, my complete user name, and why. :) " He and I are not the same. Not any more. The doctor said so. --- Bob a sore. Kind of like "dinasaur" except not extinct. yet.

^-^

pronounced "studly-man-meat-hottie-oh-who-am-I-kidding-I'll-never-wear-a-Speedo-again". ROFLMAO!!! That one is my favorite. Mine is simple ... DC

What I'd like to know is if you can have a different name on the forums to your login username, cos mine is just awkward, but when I first signed up to a website there was already a JohnRickard and I've been too lazy to check at each site ever since.

Hey JohnRickardJR, you think you've got problem's? Take a look at what I got lumbered with!! Same story...sort of. When I signd up there must have been some sort of problem with the site??? I shit you not I must have tried 7 / 8 differant nick's and password combo's and they were ALL taken!! In the end i just got fed up and put butter as 'user'thinking theres no way THAT'S taken, and I was right so now i'm stuck with it unless I go make another email address and start again?? Then I'll have to use both names or lose my 'Purchases'page. 'Wish you could just change the user name!

Sling-errrrrrrrrrrrr what was the question again? ;) AntoniaTiger, I wanted to use that one. ~lol~

Well, I'm maclean, pronounced 'maclayne'. Please, please, never 'mackleen'!!! (Damn those toothpaste ads!) It's actually my middle name, but as a scottish photographer in italy, I adopted it as a surname. The italians all expected me to be mac-something, not davidson. Anyway, quite a few of my ancestors on the maclean side were all famous (as pipers), so why not try too? mac

A Scottish photographer in Italy. That conjures up some very intriguing scenarios ;-)

"Phil-oh-dox"

Comes from the old Werewolf: The Apocalypse RPG from White Wolf... five signs based on phases of the moon... Which one you were determined what you were (Warrior, Historian, Judge, Mystic, or Prankster), the Philodox was the judge... Never took sides, thought everything out, recognized the need for balance in all things...

Zantor with a z sound like xylophone. It has no meaning I just tried to pick a name that wasn`t very good so that no one else would have used it.

pronounced "studly-man-meat-hottie-oh-who-am-I-kidding-I'll-never-wear-a-Speedo-again". >>The "studly-man-meat-hottie" is silent. I am reading this at work, and I just laughed out loud, literally. One of these days I am going to get fired for my wasting time...lol

Jay Vee Renderer waves to dr daio.. now I can't get that banana song out of my mind. come mr tallymon, tally me banana... JV

Tie-Voe The "a" is silent. Mine is often mispronounced. :D Wow... all this time I thought Daio's name was Die-o. o_o

Gongyla G twice like in ghost accent on y pronounced as ee in wheel la pronounced lah, the a British like in potAtoe, and have the a fade away in h. best I know is Ghoti it is pronounced: Gh like gh in enough o like o in women ti like ti in station what does that spell? (four letters)

YngPhoenix = Yng(My last name Young shortend) Phoenix(City I live in).

The 3d Zone

although I'm sure it never gets mispronounced, if you read the forums alot,noone ever seems to get it right...lol
I usually get called the following
3dzone
DDD
and my favorite Triple D

The3dZone

Tas - Tiger, An obscure reference to an extinct???? animal from my State of origin. The Thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian Tiger (Because of it's striped back) or the Marsupial Wolf....Sort of like a dog but with a pouch - they were hunted to extinction in the early part of the 20th Century. Although there have been reports of sightings the last known member of this species died in 1934 at the Hobart zoo. Here endeth today's lesson - tomorrow we shall look at that other strange Australian animal - the Platypus! Cease David Attenborough mode.

Lon-Dart I goofed and punched LawnDart in twice when I was signing up and have had to deal with it ever since. I do have the single LawnDart login as well but all my stuff is tied to the double dart. rolling eyes

I just don't :-D

Damz-L like the one in "distress" which I can be at any given moment. ;-)

I've never been good at finding a good username and always had problems addressing someone as "something or another" so I wanted to use my real given name. BUT, cedillas are not accepted and if I write my name without it, it is pronounced FRANK-OAZ -- OUACH!!! Written like it is supposed to be FRANISE, it is pronounced FRANSS-OAZ but I know no English speaking person who is able to pronounce the AN part correctly. So I settled for my nickname FRANCE but when I first registered here, it was already taken (although I've never read any message from another France) so I used my middle initials (Marie Isabelle) and it ended up as FRANCE-M-I (Francemi). My real surname (ROY) means KING in English. And I also thought Kiesel was pronounced like Diesel. ;o)

I goofed and punched LawnDart in twice when I was signing up<< LOL Lawndart, that's the reason? I do think saying it twice is kinda catchy though. :) I also thought Kisiel was "kee-sel" and Daio was "die-o", haha. Mine's pronounced just as it looks, and I ended up with it after building a big snowman...yeah, that's all. ;) SnowS

Pakled, like the synaptically-challenged aliens on Star Trek: the Next Generation..;) Pak-like hat, Led- like Zepplin..;) or as they'd say in Chalybeate Springs NC ...Stahr Trayek? say Whut?..;)
wanted 'gadfly', but it was taken, que lastima..and I'd been at 'rosity for a year at the time, so I was getting flak over being 'nu-be'..;)

zigg-eeeee wif a zed not a zee SamTherapy: Damn... I always pronounced yours as... Sam The Rappy ;-)
