pronouncing your username

[vniow]

I came across this myself a couple months ago and recently its come up again for other members here so I am curious about it. For those of us with non-obvious pronounciations, how would you go about saying them in real life or at least in your head?

Mine (being 4/5ths of part of my name) goes something like vi-nee-oh or more accurately v'nee-oh since there's no vowel inbetween the first two letters.

 

[clayj]

Mine's simple: "clay-jay", no accented syllable because it's pronounced like two words in quick succession.

How it's not pronounced: "claydge".

 

[devilot]

"dev-uh-lot" or "devil-lot" as jsw mentioned...

 

[jsw]

Either "jay-es-double-yew" or "bob" are acceptable.

 

[annk]

ann-kay (not ank, but I suppose that was obvious 😕 , or maybe only to me? 😛 ).

 

[Applespider]

How it's not pronounced: "claydge".

I'd never even considered that option but will probably now read it that way from now on... 😛

Mine isn't pronounced Apple-argh-squeal-squash! incidentally

 

[devilot]

Ann-Kay (not ank, but I suppose that was obvious 😕 , or maybe only to me? 😛 ).

😱 This whole time I've been saying to myself, "ank." Isn't that how you pronounce an Egyptian thingiemajiggie? Wow I feel retarded.

And Applespider, I actually think of it more as, "apple-eww-spidey!"

Yan-kee fan twenty-four

I think mine is a bit obvious.

 

[ebow]

Like most who have responded so far, mine is pretty straight-forward: "e-boe" (bow as in "bow saw" rather than bow as in "bow-wow"). 😛

 

[scem0]

It really doesn't matter to me but in my mind my handle is pronounced 'skim-oh'.

You all can call me Emerson though, or just e.

I've always tried to say is faster in my head and came up with something like "aink"

It really doesn't matter to me but in my mind my handle is pronounced 'skim-oh'.

Woah, that's said like a K instead of a C? Eek, I had it wrong all these years. 😱

 

[annk]

😱 This whole time I've been saying to myself, "onk." Isn't that how you pronounce an Egyptian thingiemajiggie? Wow I feel retarded.

It's a combination of my first name and last initial.

What sort of thingiemajiggie??

I think I'm supposed to do something to your invisitext when I quote it, but for the life of me I can never remember, sorry.

You shouldn't feel retarded. 🙂 I thought you were DEH-vih-low, after all. 😱

 

[mactastic]

Mine's easy. I go by mac too.

 

[annk]

Oooh, I had you down as something more sinister - - scheme-oh. 😀

Like taking two aspirin in the morning.

 

[hookahco]

mine hookah-co (two words). a short form of my companys full name, HookahConnection

 

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

Just as it's written...

😀

 

[sunfast]

Sun Fast

tough one 😉

 

[AvSRoCkCO1067]

AVS - ROK - SEE - OH - ONE - OH - SIX - SEVEN

...I felt left out 😱

 

[yellow]

yell-oh-is-god. The "isgod" is invisible.

 

[annk]

Just as it's written...

😀

No fair, I was waiting for yours!

Ok, I'll do it, get it wrong, and you'll have to correct me:

Mit-thraw-noo-ROO-OH-doo

😛

 

[Salasm]

"dev-uh-lot" or "devil-lot" as jsw mentioned...

I've always pronounced your name as "Devil-O-Tee" in my head.

My name, Salasm, is pronounced as it looks.

 

[emw]

Like taking two aspirin in the morning.

No ****? I've been pronouncing it as "ex-SEH-dri-NAM" 😱

 

[devilot]

What sort of thingiemajiggie??

Ah, here it is, Ankh. That's how I assumed it should be pronounced. 😛 And I agree w/ you on Scem0's pronounciation... always read it as "scheme-oh" (even though I think it's the number zero).

 

[scem0]

Woah, that's said like a K instead of a C? Eek, I had it wrong all these years. 😱

Haha, me too 😀. I've been saying "vee-nigh-oww" for your username, but I've always thought of you as just V 🙂.
