How your username is pronounced

[Duke87 1,070]

Let's face it. Some of us have screen names that are much easier to pronounce than others. Considering we only have text to go on, such names are bound to get mispronounced. my scrren naem, Duke87, is pronounced how it looks (Duke eighty-seven) or, if you must have phonetics: DOOK-aye-TEE-sehv-EHN.

Some names however, aren't so straightforward. A few that come to mind are:

 

-Aronion

-Larsz

-iamrobk

-jcabassa

etc.

 

When I use your names in conversation, I want to pronounce them correctly. This includes talking with The Terminator, rambling like an internet junkie, or just plain in my head. I'm sure others feel the same. So, how is your username pronounced?

 

[capt_enigma 6]

Capt. Enigma:
Capt. is short for Captain, so it goes something like this:
[Cap-tan In-nig-mah]

I am Captain Enigma and I do not approve this message:
Game over, man! Game over, man!

[Troggle 0]

Mine's pretty straight forward. It rhymes with boggle, toggle, etc.

Now the voices in your head will be correct.

[vidioman 21]

jcabassa's name is Jay-cab-ASS-uh (if he comes back and sees that...)lol

mine is vid-EE-oh-man

Aronion, if you are talking about the greek town, is are-ROW-knee-on

[ginchael 1]

Mine is defintely not pheonetically spelled...It's pronounced Gin-Kill.

[Boris225 1]

Boris225

= (BORE-ISS TOO-TOO-FIVE)

 

The voice in my head tells me that Brett's is:

Brett One - Thirty - One

[ert90 8]

Mine is the letter 'e' the letter 'r' and the letter 't.' Then the number 90. It isn't the word ERT

[wolverine 12]

Mine is pretty much straightforward.  WOHLVEREEN.  Like the animal, found more in Canada.  Although my state, Michigan, is the wolverine state.  My college mascot is a wolverine (sometimes refferred to as the devil of the north.  I have no idea why, and it doesn't relate to my personality.  Only a small percentage of the 36,000 U of M students know what a wolverine actually looks like.  I do not intend it to represent that comic book character or whatever that character is.

I thought Aronion's was pronouced: Air-eon..

[MrCinatit 30]

mine gets butched quite frequently, getting confused with a body part.

however, think Titanic spelled backwards:

Mister SEEN-a-Tight.

[EAGCE 2]

I was just thinking about this a few days ago.

 

Mine is    E-A-G-C-E

or ee-ay-gee-see-ee

I hope that's what everyone thought it was.  I would hate to hear someone try and pronounce it as a word.

[Smurfer2 7]

Mine is pretty simple, but Joerg's has always baffeled me....

[beesbees 1]

Mines pronounced beesbees.. surprising?

 

well Joergs.. i think its Joe-erg.

[hello_SC4 1]

Mine is pronounced:

heh-loh ess-see-for

 

And hSC4 is pronounced (by me):

 

hah-ess-tse-shteeree (I always pronounce the short version in Slovenian )

 

Btw, EAGCE, I always pronounce your name eeg-see. Don't know why.

force of habbit probobly

[K_m_H 0]

quite hard to eplain since it uses some swedish sounds that doesn't really exist in the english language but something like

Kau emm Hau

The au should be pronounced like in haul (not aoo) without any trace of an A or U in, the sound is also in the words war and law.

If you knew the Swedish letters this would be alot easier than it would just be K

[Sk8zim17 43]

Skate Zim Seventeen (or skayte zihm sehven tean)

[vidioman 21]

I pronounce EAGCE - eh-geez

I pronounce Joerg - Jourge

 

Aronion, Greece is on the Isle of Crete. When you google it, there is a bunch of stuff about Aronion (from here). He is a member at a lot of places. Or other people use that name...

This is a fun topic. I work in Washington, D.C. (by way originally from Indiana -yeah, yeah go Pistons,just try to beat the Lakers with a score of 65 points). Over here in this town, folks tend to identify themselves by their professions. I am social worker,

[Duke87 1,070]

The ways I had prounced the above posted names were:

 

Uh-row-nyun (Corrected)

Lahr-suhz

I-M-R-O-B-K (Eye-em-are-oh-bee-kay) I think this may be I am Rob K. though..

jay-cuh-bass(the fish, not the musical instrument)-uh

 

others on the top posters list in my mind:

 

tour-ah-kuh (toroca)

Alt-ex (I like to alternately simply spell it Altex, which sounds like a company name...

huh-sker-man-oh-oh-seven (I always pronounce the whole name)

 

SiMdOwMaN (pain in the arse to type) seems to be sim-d'oh-man

 

EAGCE is E-A-G-C-E Funny, since I usually like to pronounce abbreviations as acronyms even if they come out as nonsense. it would be Yags if you pronounced it. Try:

PSAT= Puh-sat

HTML= Hit-mail

PHTML=Phut-mail

SHTML= $%*-mail

HTM= Huh-tum

php= Phuhp

CBS=Kuhbs

ABC=Ahb-kuh

NBC=Nuh-buk

UPN=Uh-pun

http=huh-tuhp

FCC= (obvious pronunciation considering I hate their content regulation)

FDA=Fuh-duh

NBA=Nuh-buh

MLB=Muhlb

NFL=Nuh-ful

PC=Puk

etc....

 

Please, continue the enlightenment.......
