Will you pronounce your screen name please?

Mine is also from a book, but I pronounce it air-like-duh. Emphasis on the second syllable.

Ditto. I figured it was a play on “brain dead,” which was amusing and made some sense. The other way, not so much.

Dal-joe (Dal rhymes with Pal … as in ‘Hey pal … got a light?’) (the ‘628’ is silent.)

It is, but it’s an inside joke from the 9th grade with a long backstory that I’ve mostly forgotten.

Mine works best if you sing it:

“Martha my dear, though I spend my days in conversation, please remember me…”

Lee-koh. It’s spelled like the ellipsoidal reflectors, except it has a superfluous i.

(I am no stranger to superfluous letters; the only vowel sound in my last name is “e” but it’s spelled with a “ue.”)

Gua-Nola-D

No, not really. It’s “batshit-boy”: “Guano Lad”.

By the way, it’s Throatwobbler Mangrove, not Throatwarbler.

See 'em? Why… ¿Qué?

Mine is pronounced “BWAHAHAHAhahaha!!!” while wearing a satan suit.

And gain ten if you pronounce it unzud. :smiley:
Just kidding, cuz.

Most of the kids around here have affectionately nicknamed me beebs. I like it.

Don’t worry about pronouncing it bee-bee-ess-too-kay. It’s just an abbreviation of my longer, more annoying, and original screen name: bluebabysyndrome2000

Your link won’t work for me - is it like the Eddie Murphy skit on SNL - “Wookin Pa Nub in all the wrong places, wookin pa nub…?”

Joe

Ale, short for Alejandro (actual name), as in Allegory or try to say the French “allez!” but with the accent on the A rather than the E.

That’s an earworm I’ll enjoy for the rest of the day.

Along with -

“I can call you Betty, and Betty when you call me, you can call me Allez”

:cool:

Is that really what is was? Why did I think it was “Bigbabysweets2000”?

Huh.

Mine’s pretty straightforward- you pronounce it “Hey, there cutie” :slight_smile:

He’s fibbing, Soapy. You were correct. :smiley:

It looks like an Italian pronunciation to me–the R sound is a quick tap of the roof of your mouth behind your front teeth, rather than an “rrr” sound, see? The final I sound is truncated, like when your mom makes manicot- for dinner, or when you forgot to stop at the deli and pick up the prosciut-. :wink:

Mine is na-ja niv-ae-uh, as in the highly venomous elapid and not the el-cheapo skin care products or the bizarre celebrity/trailer park baby name du jour. It’s generally shortened to “Niv” in my other online communities, but 'round these parts, Dopers seem prone to using “Naja”. I don’t mind, except that occasionally folks will see it and think I’m Nava!

Mines pretty obvious.

But to save time, it’d be no problem to just call me Sunshine or S & S.

Umm… interface … 2 … ex. You can even keep the pauses for dramatic effect, if you like.

It’s not interface two times.

People need to learn to not mess with my reality. :smiley:
