How would you pronounce your username?

[BitsyNaceyDog]

I have a tendency to pronounce other peoples usernames in my head. I know some are easy because they are actual words, but some are abbreviations and things put together.

For instance "molucass" I call molasses. I know it's stupid, but they look similar.

Anyway how would you pronounce your username?

mine is Kay- blakes
- because k is my first initial and Blake is my last name (Justin and I are "the Blakes") Justin's been using that variation on the web for a long time. He's website is even blaix.com.

[Uabassoon]

Mine is pretty easy U- A Bassoon (like the instrument) The UA is because I went to the University of Arizona, and bassoon because I was a music performance major and that was my instrument.

[cali]

umm like cal=pal and EE lol Cali(short for Calico23-my orginal online name) not difficult

[DJFyrewolf36]

D as in Dog, J as in jump Fire (on fire ouch!) Wolf (Howwwwll)

Oops, almost for got the number Its suposed to be thirty six, not three six like most people interpret it (sounds like it wouldnt be such a big deal but the three six thing has encuraged people to send not so nice emails to me , if someone can explain why such thing would cause people to rant please let me know!)

DJ Fyrewolf is My stage name and name for most of my online stuff lol the 36 comes from the number of my favorite Giants baseball player and was my softball number.

It's funny you brought this up because it has made me noticed that in my head I say the names wrong. Like I always call you Kblax as in flax with a b. I was also inverting the letter on DJ and was calling her DJFryewolf. Wonder how many others I've butchered, LOL!

[molucass]

No... .its not molasses! Lol!

Its Mol--- Like for Molly.... Lu-- like Lou... Cass.... sounds like Pass.

I've had several people call me molasses...

Fryewolf...Like Fry wolf? LOL, is that an omen as to the direction of my career?

LOL Im not offended in any way, I kind of find it funny...in fact Ive had promoters call me Fryewolf (That would be embarassing at a show if some announcer did that!)

[popcornbird]

LOL! Interesting thread. I'm positive I say several user names wrong.

Mine is very obvious.......Popcorn-Bird. The funny thing is, people tend to call me PCB on the board to shorten my user name. Anyway, I always understood PCB as my user name's abbreviations, but I never imagined calling myself *P-C-B*, in letter form. I have talked to several PT'ers on the mic on Yahoo Messenger, and nearly fell over when someone called me P-C-B. I think two people have done it. Its fine when I see the letters on the board, but to hear someone say (Hi P-C-B) out loud on the mic was hilarious.

[lizzielou742]

I think mine's easy. Lizzie-Loo-Seven-Forty-Two. Or just lizzie lou.

There's one I always wonder how pronounce....slleipnir - are you out there? In my head I always say it like this: sleep-in-ear. slleipnir, please come tell me how to say your name!

I've wondered how to pronounce her username too.... I thought maybe it was pronounced "sleep-near", but who knows?

Karen - like one pronounces the name, 'cause that's all it is. Not very exciting, I know. Funny enough, I've been pronouncing names in my head all the right way so far by your guides.

And Popcornbird, I would NEVER call you PCB as PCBs (Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)) are nasty awful chemicals. See here for the CDC's (Center for Disease Control's) page on them.

[Jods]

mines easy 2
jods

as in jo-d-z

[MariaM]

I usally pronounce sleppiner (or whatever lol) like slep-in-ear or slep-in-er or suhlep-in-er LOL

Mine is just normal. Muh. Re. Uh. Em. (MariaM)

Molucass - I never say "Mol Lu Cass" I always say "Mol U Cass".

Uabassoon - I always thought that a bassoon was some sort of monkey...and I always figured yours meant "You are a bassoon!" (monkey) Turns out I was way off!

Oh hush! LOL.

Mine is pretty easy. Golden-Retriever-Lover. The "Retr" part is just an abbreviation, obviously, and the "Luver" part is just different spelling.

I used to ALWAYS pronounce Cataholic's name as Catholic, and still do if I'm reading quickly. There's a few others.. but I can't think of them right now.

I pronounce Audrey's [slleipnir] name as slip-nir.

[slleipnir]

lol XD To be completely honest, I'm not 100% sure how to pronouce my name either XD

I say it 'sill-eep-ner' so I guess saying it like sleep-ner works too XD haha. I know Esster goes to a barn with a horse named sleipnir..I'm sure she'd know how to pronouce it
