Will you pronounce your screen name please?

Jah-Tee Ah-Yo

Boy, I just assumed it would be pronounced: Kwad gop the Mêr cO tan
I am using the capital O as a long O as I cannot get alt-0333 to work in this post.

I think that my problem is that I have a hard time with the “ad-go” transition in the first part. The D followed immediately by a G just doesn’t pronounce naturally for me unless it’s part of the same syllable, like in “dodge”.

Sorry QtM.

Heh. That’s the first thing I thought of when I saw the thread.

Mine’s easy: Purr-gah-toe-ree Creek (or Crick for us country folk).

Arch-I-Vay Ghee.

Not Really :stuck_out_tongue:

The following are all acceptable:

“Really Not All That Bright”, which you may modify with a glottal stop in the last word, as in “silly English k-nig-hut”; “Arr-enn-ay-tee-bee”; “Ruh-na-tub” with the shortest u sound you can possibly make in “tub”.

I think Runnatub is my preferred pronunciation. At least, that’s what I think of as my handle.

row-KHUT-tie-air

Mine is pronounced exactly as it is written.

I’ve always mentally said it like the Elvis song - you’re never just “viva lost wages”, but “Viva… lost wages!”

Can’t let this one pass without acknowledgment: I LOL’d.

Mine’s uh MIG duh luh. (Replace those "uh"s with that upside-down e–I’m too lazy to find it on my computer.)

Go here and click on ‘Le Ministre’.

Show-suv.

“As-zih-MOW-vee-en”

Or, according to one online friend who refused to sound it out, Ass Is A-Movin’. But it depends on the music. :smiley:

Cthulhu

So, do you look like this , then?

Well actually, I’m not sure either. I stole it from a book.

But if I had to pronounce it I would say: Ka-da-gee

I assume my name’s easy enough to pronounce.

Do you mean the schwa (unstressed neutral vowel), which makes your name KLUR-ə-kahn?

From now on, I won’t be able to help thinking of you as “Clurschwacaun.”

Or should we just call you clobhair-ceann and hide the booze? Remember that great Spider Robinson story about the cluricaun in Callahan’s Crosstime Saloon?

lōch

As in this.
Not this.
Or this.

More icky.
