Mine seems too simple to bother.
There are a few of you who I had no idea that that’s how you pronounce your name!
[QUOTE=Autolycus]
Your memory must have played a trick on you. This clip from Xena clearly shows the pronunciation is Ah-TAH-la-kiss. It’s probably different from the original Greek, but since my screen-name is mostly based on Bruce Campbell, that’s how I call myself.

er, so on Xena they say it right, right? Cuz that’s how I was saying it.
What’s wrong with liking improvised vocal Jazz?
Why do you think I insist on spelling it with a k? S’kitty also works. Or, oo! S’tyger. Styyyyyyygerrrrr. =^__^=
Mine’s mostly how it’s spelled.
“FREEK - uh - LET” with a bit more accent on the first syllable than the third.
Some of these are making me :eek:

You figure it out. I have faith in you. If you are seriously having trouble, I suggest listening to a certain Beatle’s song…
Five. Four. Fighting.
As in, “Tweet! That’s a five-minute penalty in the box for fighting!”
Hope that helps.

It’s not pronounced "brin-dah’?

Nope, Brenda. I know you heard Rick put more of a “brin” on it, but let’s face it–he’s a freaky Brit. You can’t trust him to pronounce it right. ![]()
Long, boring story alert: I was raised in Tennessee. We pronounce “en” like “in”, so pen and pin rhyme, as do Jennie and Ginny. So Brynda with a y is pronounced Brinda, not Brenda, but not because of the freaky spelling, but because well, we is weird. However, when non-Tennesseans try to call me Brinda, it sounds like Briiiinda, and grates my poor ears. Therefore, Brenda is the pronunciation I prefer. Or Throatwarbler Mangrove. You choose.

You’ve been here long enough to post nearly 18,000 times and you don’t know “d&r” means “ducks & runs”?
