I noticed that an announcement topic was getting off topic with a similar discussion; so to prevent that I thought, let's start up a thread about it! Plus it will be fun. :dieshappy:

So, how do you pronounce your username? :)

Ah! I have been pronouncing Varon's name correctly all along! :D

I pronounce mine Elly (ell-ee) of Zoriah (zore-eye-ah). I say Zoriah a little quickly.

Most people pronounce my name Beth-Ann-ee Fa-A-th

But some people call me Bethany Fay...I think it depends on the person. I say it either way, though. So there's no right or wrong. :rofl:

Yours is one of those names I only read and never bother pronouncing. ;)

Mine's the normal Katherine, despite the lack of middle e in my alternate spelling. Roid is droid minus the d.

El -Mear- zah . . And I suppose you all can pronounce Dragon and Rider. :D

Sui's name is pronounced very wrong in my head, and when I take time to look at the spelling, I know it. :P My mind says; Sue - author- on. :rofl:

@Amanda: You may want to show the pronunciation as "Kon-dray-el" or "Kon-drae-el" to prevent confusion. ;)

Mine is pronounced "Kah-lehn-meer-ee-el". I sometimes slip into calling myself "Kal-en-meer-ee-el"/"Kel-en" though. :P

It's Air-oo-wye-thee-ell. You said it with a soft 'th', but in 'thee' that would be a hard 'th'.

You are dead.
Dreams like silk fall tattered to the ground, torn by the claws of despair. Hope shattered, light hidden, replaced by the veil of darkness. But pull it aside, tear it down, a glimpse of freedom lies beyond. Through the hole, open your eyes, see the sun. With it is a brightness that burns, that scars; that hurts yet heals. Shrinking back, yet reaching out, within sight is the sky, within reach is the world. Leave the broken cloths of the past behind and go pursue something worth pursuing. A new reason worth living for. A new dream.
You are alive.
You are ready.
Go. You are being called.

Mmm. Fun thing is, I actually probably pronounce it wrong meself.
The English spelling is "Roundelay," and I snatched it from the folk-song "Just As the Tide Was Flowing" back in 1996 or '97. Yes, I have been on the internet that long, and yes, I have been using that screen name the whole time. And aside from the gal on AOL Instant Messenger who snagged the English spelling first, I am the only one. I digress.

ROWn-delay, where "row" rhymes with "now."
I realize that the "Ro" nickname is a bit misleading as far as pronunciation goes, but if I don't encourage it people online invariably call me "Round." Which, considering that I could kindly be described as 'plump,' hits a little too close to home. ~_^

* has been laughing almost the entire thread *

I pronounce Elmirza's- El-MUR-zuh instead of El-MEAR-zuh. My southern accent doesn't help matters. :roll:

I pronounce Sui's- Sui-WE-thee-ON.

Mine is rather simple too. :D Boosh-Mayd. However I found out a while ago that my name makes little sense to people. "Why do you name yourself after a bush?" o.O However in Australia, "bush" is the term given to our forests. So the American/English version of my name would be ForestMaid. :)

Yus! *insert Bush throwing her arms in the air victoriously* I pronounced Emeth's name right! :dieshappy: Oh, and Eru's too!

I pronounced Elmirza's name the same, Elly. :blush:

I normally say eh-ROO-heh-rahn or eh-roo-HAIR-ahn if I speak quickly.

I couldn't pronounce Emeth's username right until I listened to the podcast and heard how he said it. It sounds a little bit different with my accent. :P

Mine's Melody as in Melody Pond (MEHL-oh-dee) and Kondrael as in Amanda Kondrael (KAWN-dray-ehl) (Or, KON-dray-el. It's the short o sound.)

I need to learn IPA from theladyem so I can spell it out right. :D

I was saying Kondrael correctly. . . when I talk faster, it sounds like kawn-drae-el, though. :P

I don't think it's girly. :) (I always call you Caleb anyhow, though, so I suppose my opinion doesn't matter here... XD )

Jesus therefore said to the Jews who believed him, If ye abide in my word, ye are truly my disciples;
and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.
- John 8: 31-32


“A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic-on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg-or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.” –C. S. Lewis
