How do you pronounce your dog's name?

**Kfamr** · 07-19-2004, 09:12 AM

Just within a few days of having Kiara, SO many people have pronounced her name wrong.

No one's ever had troubles with Simba, but with Nala it's always something different.

So.. How do you pronounce your dog's name?

Simba = Sim-BUH
Nala = Nah-LUH
Kiara = Key-Are-UH

I try to keep my dog's names simple so that they're easy for me to pronounce

So I haven't had any issues with Maddie, Murph or Oz. Everybody gets those right. But I have noticed with Gully, most people say Scully. Guess more people know of X-files vs Gulliver's Travels and they can't wrap their mind around it actually being Gully. So I've started introducing him as "Gully as in Gulliver".

Jack - j-ack
Snoopy - snoo-pee
Taggert - tag-gert
Oreo - o-re-o
Dazzi - day-ze - or like daisy

Sorry had to be smart aleck about the first 4. I didn't name Dazzi, the man who game me her did and his only stipulation was I keep her name and the way he spelled it and since he gave her, her kennel, her beds, her food, her toys, her leashes, her tie-outs, her brushes I did as he wished. If people just see the spelling they call her da (like in dad) zee.

Muffin- MUF-in, MUF-y, WOO-fy, SNOT-nose, FLUF-y....

I guess Muffin can be pronounced lots of different ways.

Kia = Key-uh

Some have pronounced her name, 'K-eye-uh', but it's rare.

My friend Emily has a dog named Heywood and while taking him for a walk, the neighbor was calling him, "Heyward". *laughs*

I'm a sucker for unique names. With the unique names come lots of mispronunciation.

Kai: Eye with a K.. K-eye.

Kaedyn: Kay-din

Most people get Kai's name right. But once, someone thought I said "Daisy".

How the heck do you get Daisy from Kai? LOL

Kaedyn has been called many things other than his actual name. One lady thought he was "Katie".
