pronouncing your username

Mine is pronounced CHOOND-Ley.

Nah just kidding, it's Chundles, like Chunder and Trundles put together
 
Mine's simple enough. Neo Cell, new cell, it's what I do.
It's not Ne-Oc-Ell, Knee-Os-L
Just simple, simple, simple {like my brain :) }

Mostly if someone has an odd looking name I just glance at it, get a completely wrong pronunciation in my head and stick with that. So Mitthrawnuruodo is Mith–ran-doh, vniow is 'vin-oh', devilot is 'dev-low' and so forth.

This is exactly what I do. "my names" can be quite creative some times and it just sticks.
And yeah I read it Mith-Ran-Do, even though I had my computer tell what it should be :p

Easy enough:

Hoo-LEE-too.

Except in the highly unlikely case you happen to be reading this from West Cork, or you a correctness freak, in which case you should pronounce it:

Whel-EE-too.

(My original username was my surname, but when I lost the password I signed up again and added the 'too').
 
Jay-deck-oh

First initial and last name.... not too interesting, I'm afraid. But this is a neat thread and I must admit that I've been mispronouncing several names (in my head).
 
Mine I think is pretty straightforward, but if you want, you can pronounce the extra Ts at the end just for fun.

I always enjoy a good Macaddict-t-t, and I might go on stuttering that t for hours just for the sheer joy of it.

As an expert on the subject, can you tell me if the extra letter Ps in P-P-PowerBook are pronounced pee like the letter or puh like a stutter?
 
From Lyle's Omnipotency Review I Failed Like Everyone Else

Also pronounced f-lOH-rEE-f-lEE

Oh, it's most definitely "puh" like a stutter. Much more p-p-powerful that way. :D

They may be silent Ps, though; my favorite kind of Ps...

I think that we all have been mispronouncing a few names. :eek: :)
 
Many of these pronunciations, others are logical.

Mine is "teh-egg". Sounds like tegg. When I was a radio producer, the 'talent' would use that as a joke and call me "el tuevo" or "il tovum".

And regardless of what I tell him, my dad still usually says "teeg". But what can you do?

TEG

Not sure why it would be so hard to pronounce TEG. Even I got it right the first time. :)

Mine's easy, I think, although people elsewhere are always getting it wrong. For reference, it's three words: to be first. Not tobe (toh-bee) or any other combination, but feel free to call me whatever you want. :)

Also, I've always pronounced scem0 as scheme-oh, and devilot as de-violet, even though I knew that was wrong. njmac has always been ninja-mac, just like others have said. Mitth...blahblahblah is what it's always been to me. :)

At first glance of your name, I always see Tobe First but I know its to be first.


I never would have guessed people are seeing ninja mac :cool: I want everyone to see ninja mac from now on...... its so much better than nj mac!
 
Mine should be pronounced Vagi, as in Vaj-eeee.

When I originally signed up, the MR censor wouldn't allow it because it was only a few letters short of Vagina, so I cunningly reversed it to iGav, and have gotten away with it now for over 4 years.
