How Do You Pronounce Your Own Name?

Not totally Maggie, as I read this first line (and I have no idea who CUA is), I imagined it as SeeYouA, 'cos it's all caps, see?. Que-uh? nah!!

ps. troy: rhymes with bouy (well, it does where I live )

His name is all lower case, though.

Lets see... I think Paolo should be pronounced.... hand-sum (who cares what he says)

Needless to say with all these interesting spellings and pronounciations running amuck... why not call us anything, afterall this is our fantasy isn't it??

My name is very easy

Beta-- ba (the e which sounds like our long a) ta (the a is more like ahhhhh)

Rubio-- roo (as in kanga--) bee (as in a stinger) ohhhh (as in oh what a stinger)


TC y'all and see you in game...

Beau is not as in Beautiful, it is pronounced "Bo"

I'm glad I had a chance to clear this up because so many people make comments to me about what type of guy would call himself beautiful.

Reitsuki is pronounced exactly like it's spelled, it's just that the stresses and timing is odd. It's not "ray-t-soo-key"... It should sound closer to "retski", except the t is almost-but-not quite silent, like the T in "tzar". All the vowels are fairly short, the entire thing should sound sorta clipped.

Kojima is sorta like Reitsuki... It's prounced how it's spelled, but that still doesn't make it easy easy... "Koh-ji-mah", stressed like "koJIma", and again with short, clipped vowels.

And the shortened form is my name is Rei, damnit, not Reit. R-e-i, pronounced like "Ray", more or less, not "Rayt". It's two words. Rei (Lost soul or spirit) - Tsuki (Moon).

It's derived from my long-time DnD/MUD/Everquest/DaoC/World of Warcraft character "Tsyr Soulmoon". I use "Tsyr" or "Soulmoon" most places for forum names and such, but wanted something pseudo-realistic to go with my last name.

I don't really have to do my name do I?

I feel so bland

Jess

MY'-low Boo-KOW'-skee

And while we're on the subject, the car I make is pronounced MAHM'-bo Kuh-LEE'-stuh

My name is pronounced Bu- Ca- Ra, like the rose, NOT BACK- a- Ra like the Crystal...

and Rhodes well, not much mystery there...

My first name is pronounced "The Other" Shiv-Awn

Last name, pretty straightforward, although, I wish LL had put in an apostrophe.......
O'Flynn, instead of the way they chose to spell it "OFlynn"

For those who have ever asked me this question:

An-uh-rax-iss

Doesn't really matter, everyone calls me Ana anyways. Glad I'm secure in my manhood

Of course, "The Other" is silent... well, it is when I say it, lol... *hugs*

KeyFir

*hugs* back

Doesn't it make you laugh when people mistake one of us for the other? Our av's couldn't possibly look more different, LOL

You are tall, redheaded and ethereal.......I am short, black haired and goth. Maybe all people are seeing is a grayed out av, not fully rezzed? hehehe

Happens still... I get people coming up to me and asking if I'm Siobhan from There... lol

Pro-KO-fy

The accent is on the second syllable.

It's a Russian name. Most people only know it from Prokofiev, the composer.

It was my father-in-law's patronymic. It sounds old-fashioned even to the Russian ear.

With this name, I land myself in the first 10 replies on a Google search for "Prokofy" hehehe.

There are various Prokofys in Russian literature, Chekhov, Tolstoy, etc., they are often footmen or coachmen.

Here's one of Tolstoy's Prokofys, a handsome fellow wrongfully accused of horse-theft: "Prokofy had a rather proud nature, and thought himself superior to others. Prison was a great humiliation for him. He came out of it very depressed; there was nothing more to be proud of in life. And more than that, he felt extremely bitter, not only against Peter Nikolaevich, but against the whole world."

reddish is pronounced 'radish' like the veggie.

Awww B, you make me blush! Beta should be pronounced kind-est-friend-a-guy-could-ever-have. *hugs*

How do I pronounce my own name.....in long southern drawl..."Very carefully"....LMAO

Will SOMEONE please go kick Tcoz and get him to come pronounce *his* name?????

"Tea-Coz?"

"tCause?"

I really don't care how you say my name. As long as you spell it right when you are writing me a check.

It is REALLY weird calling LL and saying "Hi, it's Schwanson Schlegel" .

Core-AY-na

Although most folks just call me Core (like of an apple, or better yet, the 'core' of their world.

Grace is .. grace

I've had plenty of people in voice chat that have tried to use the Spanish/Italian pronunciation for Artillo, but I pronounce it:

"Art-ILL-oh"

But most of my friends just call me Art or Arti or more recently (looks at Lady Belvedere) Tillo!

And of course for Simmy, she calls me her Pervy Git so that's all good!

PEACE!

Arti

uh-POTH-ee-us

Silverman is silent.

If it must be shortened, I highly prefer apoth over apo.
