Will you pronounce your screen name please?

[Cub_Mistress]

@Khadaji

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 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.

[psycat90]

sigh - cat

with or without the ninety, though I think most people leave it off when actually speaking it.

[Aithele]

Ah-THEAL (rhymes with deal)

[Cervaise]

My name is pronounced “Busta Chee Chee Trike Whore.”
Or, “sur VY ə see.” You choose.

Wow, many have surprised me, but for some reason, I have been reading your name as PussyCat not Psi Cat.

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.

yes

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”.

Matt mick-ELL.

Heh, I never would have thought to say the MCL part as a word. In my mind it’s always been Matt Ehm-See-Ell.

[Chimera]

Oh good god, I’ve heard every pronunciation physically possible and a couple of that make my head spin.

I pronounce it Kai mare uh most of the time, sometimes Chih mare uh, which is how I pronounced it years ago.

I’ve heard Shimmer uh, Chime Raw and CHIME -er-Ah.

mlerose, I would never have even tried to pronounce yours, or guessed the pronounciation. That’s a neat spelling.

Just…incredible.

@Kythereia

Kie (rhymes with ‘pie’) - thur - ay - ah.

Oh man, I’ve been calling you Kie - thee - reeah, rhyming with cafeteria, all this time. Does it have a meaning?

This is almost like having to re-arrange your mental picture of people when you meet them for the first time. Great idea for a thread, though…

-trupa, pronounced, true - pah
