How to properly pronounce usernames!

[Kijar]

Though this may seem pointless, I sometimes see a username on this board and think to myself.. I wonder how that person says it..

I thought since we have a place for general rabble rabble, I'd open this thread and allow people to post proper pronunciation for their names, if they wish.

 

Mine is KAH-JAR

<p>Mine is rather simple. It's a character I've come up with in other fiction that I've written. It's separated into three words..</p><p> </p><p>

Angel de Layette</p><p> </p><p>

Lay(as in the chips without the 's') and ette(like the end of corvette) for the last name. The others are pronounced just as they seem.</p>

I would be quite shocked if someone mispronounced my name lmao.

You have to do a backflip before finishing mine otherwise you've upset a now dead language.

It's a former character of mine Raye Ralek's first & last name's combined.</p>

[Kijar]

I don't think I can tell you guys......

 

Oh my god..

This made me laugh harder than it probably should have.

 

*continues to bottle up rage at Americans and their pronunciation of basic vowel sounds in an unhealthy way* (one more Seahawks game featuring Jimmy Graham or anyone called Craig, that'll about do me in I swear. Oh god, I've just imagined a world in which a man named Craig Graham (or Graham Craig) becomes a prominent NFL star. Send help).

 

Mine's pretty phonetic. Like the word delirium, but spelled "cooler", at least it was 15 years ago. Now? Not so much.

 

Hey now, I think its a matter of convenience in my case! Key-Jay takes longer to say, where as I just like to pronounce it close to one syllable..

All BSing aside, I'm American, hate me.

I do think your name is cooler like that haha

 

 

And Fly-sh, I had a feeling you were older than Jody. :p:p:p

[DAVEFAN95]

FLY-SH... simple.

 

After reading your name as "Flesh" for the past two years, gonna have to re-adjust to Fly-sh

[Uncrewed]

UN-CREW(Like a bunch of people)- ED

 

I've had people call me Unscrewed, which I assume is just auto correct.
