Pronunciation of username

[ephorex_77 0]

Well, we have had some interesting run-ins with problems of username pronunciation on the podcast.

Soo....out of interest (well, for our sakes too ), how do you pronounce your name?? And please, no weird pronunciation symbols like they use in the dictionaries like those inverted 'e's and the like. Just stick to using examples and bits of words.

Fish Sticks

Fish...Like Fish and Chips

Sticks...Like ummmm Sticks

 

My real nickname is Fish

The 001 has no meaning...I believe someone already had Fishstix as a name

 

I'd really would like to drop the Stix001...and go by Fish, but I doubt the admin could change it...and plus I really don't feel like re-registering

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

En Oh Body

or Ayy Non ee Moo suh

Joe the Social Worker, Joe Social Work, or Joe Social Worker!  

SocWork and  Swk are common Internet abbreviation extensions for my profession in various e-mail and newsgroup lists.

Having a friend like you is like having a kid. You want to both hug and strangle them at the same time. Well, laugh in your case. But if you like to call me furry and refer to me as a person with a fetish, use my SkyscraperPage member title Fur Fetish Guy. It sounds better than the other one. But seriously dude, just use my screen name.

Another clear-up. I always thought it was marry-yesher, with the 'marry' pronounced the way it is. To marry someone.

[Boggy1 45]

It seems like Americans have difficulty prounouncing my name.

It's Bouguie-one
Not Bo-geone
Or Bo jyone

And my name Aaron is prounounced;
Not Eh-ron
Or Eh-run
And Not Aaa-run
But Aaa-ron

[Boggy1 45]

grr stupid double post glitch.

[hello_SC4 1]

And contrary to boggy's belief, my name is not pronounced Mahtt, but Matt, with the 'a' like in 'Hay'.

While hello_SC4 is pronounced hello-ess-see-four.

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Lee-ch ten, or just lee-ch

[Eastwinn 6]

Like East, North, South, West, win or loose
