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

I had a student with your name and she pronounced it Kah-DEE-zuh with the z sound almost a cross between a j sound and a z sound. Don’t know if that is an authentic pronunciation, but that’s how she said it.
[QUOTE=What Exit?] Loach, just to verify, I always assumed your name rhymes with coach. Is that correct? I think that is what you meant in your post.

Mine rhymes with Atari. At least in my head - a lot of folks say AY-vuh-ree, like the name Avery. I got it from a book when I was 16, and have been meaning to change it for a while.
“OR-zuh-ball”. I mentally distinguish my handle from the real Roland, who pronounces his name with the last syllable matching the first syllable of “balance”. Feel free to use either; I promise I won’t be offended.
Now if I can just get people to spell it right, we’ll be all set.

I thought the real Roland pronounced it “Orthabl”.
