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.

So, how do you pronounce your username?

Exactly.

Oh, and btw, on the podcast you gave the wrong pronunciation. **shakes head** And I thought you knew elvish. Pah.

SHAWN!!! Now my graph has a wrong name on it. (nevermind the fact that the people's posts are all different anyways.

Hey! I can say your name now Lady E!!!

*Smacks Elanhil* She said it just fine in the podcast!

*Raises hand* I know how to pronounce it!!

Varon: Vare-un

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

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

I used to pronounce mine Sue-e-au-thon (au as in author and thon as in marathon) but I found out recently that I've been pronouncing it wrong.

It is correctly pronounced Sue-e-ow-thon (thon same as above).

Crush-mast-er. Crushmaster.

Pretty simple, eh?
God bless,
Crushmaster.

EE-ven-star

Uh-man-duh Kon-dra-el. Fairly simple, methinks. * wonders if this thread is aimed at a few members in particular, such as Lady E *

Mine is pronounced FEAR-me.

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.

Bahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think mine is pretty straight-forward easy to say...

Same about Varon's name!
But I'd been saying yours zore-ee-uh.

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.

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

So far I've got everybody's right.

I have a knack for names.

Reen EE el Jaz MEE nah, I do accept Ri NEE el as well though, fear not.

An-EESE of Lee-AR-see.

Only nicer. It looks dreadful spelled like that.

Nickname: AN-ee.

And I call you B.


Bahaha!


I had yours wrong. *will correct that*

Funny.

@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.

I pronounce mine: Vee-Lee-See *nods* Simple, but I've found many people who pronounce it just a bit differently than I do

(at times I may say: Vuh-Lee-See)

@Calen - I'm terrible at spelling out pronunciations.

Try two at a pronunciation of my name... Uh-man-duh Kon-dray-el.

I guess mine is pretty easy...
Sv-eh-n st-eel

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

Eh'-meth Mih-may'-tais (soft s).

Or in Strict Gianas... Ëmëth míMeiteis.

In gibberish? Blee-zoaurd oeft faier 0:)

In English... kind of what it says on the tin

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.

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

* sighs * And I've been mispronouncing Emeth's name wrong for how long now? Well, now I know.

Mine's pronounced "Shawn Uh-lex-iss Hin-dur-sin".

eh-ROO-heh-rahn Some people pronounce it eh-roo-HAIR-ahn. I'm fine with either

eru

Mine's a real tongue twister

As most of you have probably already seen because of my key I have put on recently it is:

AY-LUH-Knight.

Mine is rather simple too. 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?" 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! Oh, and Eru's too!

I pronounced Elmirza's name the same, Elly.

If I'm feeling sophisticated, it's Reh NILE.

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.

Huh. I say it RYE-nee-ell.

For Rin, I say: RIN-e-uhl or rin-EE-uhl.

Mine is simple: e-ma-leena see-dar or der.

See-lbye-oof-sof-urn?

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.

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

Hmm... I wonder if I should make my name less 'girly' as some people have put it...

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

Hopefully the time it had the accent on it got people pronouncing it right.

Cheyenne: shy-ann

I'm quite uncreative.

You think it's girly?

I never said I did. That was the thoughts of several other people...
