How the Hell does one pronounce my screenname?

I always imagined it being “DOW-wa-jan.” My sister says it “Da-HO-wa-yan.”

Who else has an unpronounceable name?

Mine’s totally phonetic, but for the record I pronounce your name in my head as “dow-WODGE-un,” first syllable rhyming with Tao. :slight_smile:

Mine’s quite difficult

ARE-yuh? What’s difficult about that?

It’s not that hard I guess, but Brabamatariumanism is pretty hard.

For some reason, people keep pronouncing my name as “Asshole”, “Jerk-off”, “Tubby”, and “Don Knots”.

Are they stupid? Anybody can see that my name is clearly pronounced “UN-der-pants”.

I thought it was “Oops, I didn’t mean to say that…”

Daowajan. DUH…

d&r

whats up with d&r?

“Ducks & runs”. :slight_smile:

I’ve always pronounced my screen name as “drag-wir”, but I’ve heard some people pronounce it “Throat-wobbler mangrove”.

:slight_smile:

Mine has a cool French “u” in it…

I go by Puce-ette, Pursette (courtesy of biggirl), and Little Flea.

Well, unless I think about it, I pronounce it DAY jo wan. oops.

BTW, mine rhymes with Miata.

I am you-eh han. Han like solo.

Daowajan… hmm… where did it come from? Did you just make it up or is it out of some other language? I tend to automatically pronounce foreign sounding words like Chinese if I don’t think about (Xena becomes Shehna*) it which would make you T-ow-wah-jon. But I’m a mutant.

Made it up.

Well, I always pronounced thinksnow name like thinks now, until I found out that it was supposed to be pronounced think snow. I still pronounce it thinks now, but now I feel guilty…I thinks.

I’d always imagined it to be “DOW-wa-hahn”, which is fairly close to to what you’d got, but with the Spanish-y “j.”

<------ ghoti

Mine’s Finnish (someone thought it was Hawaiian). I don’t speak native Suomi, or whatever, so I have no idea how it’s really supposed to be pronounced. In my head, it’s muh-LEEK-ee, but I ran into someone IRL that I’d met online, and he pronounced it ‘MY-leek-ee.’ Someone else guessed ‘MIL-lick-ee’. If I can find a real live Finnish person, I will force them to tell me.

Smells like fish in here. :slight_smile:
I have been recently informed that the proper pronunciation of my name is “Oggrey.”
