Username Pronounciations?

[Okami]

I'm just curious to how you pronounce your username.

Now the correct way to pronounce mine, Okami ('Ookami') would be: Oh-kahm-ee [or something close to that] ...I think.... [SIZE="1"]</confidence>[/SIZE]

But that's not the way I pronounce it nor have I ever (I've had this nickname for five years) I pronounce it Ooh-Cam (as in Camera) - Ee

Why do I pronounce it differently? Just the way I originally learned it, I suppose. It sounds unnatural to me when I hear it pronouced "in"correctly because I've been so used to the way my best friends say it when we talk to each other using our nicknames....
[SIZE="1"](Hey, it's just easier to call out to eachother at school this way because our names are sooooo generic and we just want to make sure we grab the right person's attention, ya know?)[/SIZE]

Anywho, what about you guys? Some are pretty obvious, while others...not so much. So let's hear it!

[rii namuras]

[color="Red"](Rii Namuras = Ree Nah("a" like father)-moo-ras. As opposed to Ree Nahm("a" like yam)-oo-ras. I've had people try to get my attention and utterly fail because they pronounced it wrong. Yes, those were interesting debate tournaments... I'm sorry, MK, I really am.)[/color]

[Fish and Chips]

...I have nothing to say.

[meboeck]

Mine is spelled MEE-beck. Really it's like two words: me beck. Yes there is an O. Yes it's silent. There's even a CAA member who used to call me Silent O.

[Mangafanatic]

That's "Mangafanatic", which is pronounced "How-did-u-get-sow-beau-tea-full-and-char-ming?"


JUST KIDDING! It's basically-- as close as I can get-- "mahn-guh-fun-at-ic." Or something close to that.

[ADXC]

Mines easy to say, so if you can't pronounce mine correctly then Im trully sorry for you.

[Yeshua-Knight]

mine should be pretty straight forward, but for the sake of those who might not know...

Yeshua - (Ye-shoo-uh) - original hebrew name of Jesus (yes, Yahshua is also a form of the same name)

Knight - (nite) - no, it's not pronounced like the crazy french solider in monty python and the holy grail, you don't say the k, it's just there, like meboeck's o, silent, but oh so deadly, k?

[ADXC]

@ Yeshua-Knigh: Haha, like Nigets! (The french pronunciation of the word knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail) I will fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

[Ratrace]

Mine is pronounced like a certain type of rodent propelling itself quickly toward something in competition with more of said rodents.

[Yeshua-Knight]

@ Yeshua-Knigh: Haha, like Nigets! (The french pronunciation of the word knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail) I will fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

Now Go A-way Or I Shall Taunt You A Second Time-uh!!!

[Ratrace]

I would threaten you, but it wouldn't work with the rodent idea.

[LadyRushia]

"Lady" should be easy to pronounce; then Rushia is like ruh-shee-ah.

We are the knights who say. . .NI!

[Radical Dreamer]

I think mine's pretty straight forward. XD I used to have an old nickname based on my old username that no one *coughcoughNatecoughcough* knew how to pronounce, though.

My old username was "Rurouni_Kaoru", and in the chat, I was often called "Kaorrie" (Kaoru + Corrie = Kaorrie). I always pronounced it as "cow-ree", but some people thought it was "kay-or-ee" or something like that. XD To this day, I'm certain it was pronounced "cow-ree", though, and I don't even use the nickname anymore. XD

[Etoh*the*Greato]

...I have nothing to say.

Really? Because I've been intensely curious about yours for months. I just can't seem to figure it out.



Oh, and for the record. Aytoh. The Graytoh. There you go. ^-^

[Ingemar]

My name is pronounced as spelled. If you are confused, ask a Swede.

[Tenshi no Ai]

[color="Red"](Rii Namuras = Ree Nah("a" like father)-moo-ras. [/color]

Mine is spelled MEE-beck. Really it's like two words: me beck.

Funny, like Okami I have the tendency to pronounce things despite what the actual pronunciation is sometimes^^ For Rii, I always thought "ray-nur-moo-ras". Why? I don't know^^ Just... happens sometimes, although yeah I do understand Japanese phonetics^^

Stranglely enough in Meboeck's case, I think "mee-bee-ok" so I somehow reverse the 'e' and 'o'^^

Yeah, maybe I DO have slight signs of dyslexia^^ My mind likes to mix letters up :/

[Debitt]

....like the card. But infinitely more awesome.

My username is also the reason I call it a check card now, by the by.

[Raiden no Kishi]

Rhy [as in "WRYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!111one"]-den know KEE-shee. Easy peasy Japanesey. Go look up Japanese pronounciation; you can learn it in a ridiculously short time and you'll never need to ask again. ^_^

Y-K: If I ever meet you in person, I am going to call you "Yeshua Ka-nig-et". Hopefully, after developing my out-RAY-gee-uss ack-SENT.

Wait, I just got really confused. XD Isn't "Wrryyyy" pronounced like a long E? Obviously your name is pronounced "Rai" as in "the rye or the kaiser", but yeah, just thought I'd ask about that. XD

[Puguni]

Puguni.

I'm sorry, I don't know either.

puu-guu-nee

One of the four.

[USSRGirl]

Pronounciation: 1.) Bah-OW-too-mee 2.) Muu-muffin-marxist-milkshake.

[Yeshua-Knight]

ya know, i never thought my username would be so closely related to so many monty python quotes, this is awesome!

now if only i can find a way to connect it to the holy handgrenade quote, then i would win at life

[EricTheFred]

Okay, listen carefully... It's
"Eh-rik-ku-deh-fu-re-do"
Heh.

[ADXC]

@Yeshua-Knight: Remember all the main characters are knights and the knights through the Holy Handgranade of Antioch at the killer rabbit. You see, there be your connection.

[Dai-go]

Pronounced - Die-go
Japanese word for 5th
Now that I think about it, it should've been, Die-Hard.

Ok. Poor attempt at humor.

Just to clarify, you do know that "WRYYYYYYY" is pronounced "REEEEEEEEEEEEEE", right?

[Nikolai Melodie]

Suh-leen-Uh

=)

[Fish and Chips]

Just to clarify, you do know that "WRYYYYYYY" is pronounced "REEEEEEEEEEEEEE", right?

WRYYYY is most popularly pronounced as "REEEE," although a more unconventional use has been "URRYY," salted and peppered with as many Es or Ys as necessary to express length.
