How do you pronounce usernames?

[hobbsyoyo]

Phonetically spell out how you pronounce usernames. I am interested to read the different pronunciations everyone will have. Also write how you intended for your username to be pronounced.

Takhisis -> Tack - hee - sis
Borachio -> Bore - ahk - eee - oh
rugbyLEAGUEfan -> rug - bee - LEEG - fan
hobbsyoyo -> hobbs - yo - yo



Inb4: usernames -> u - zer - nayms

 

[Virote_Considon]

Pretty much the same as you.

Takhisis I pronounce more "Tack - iss - iss" though.

 

[Mise]

rugby-union-fan

 

[Synobun]

Takhisis -> Taxes
Borachio -> Boar - Awtch - Eeo
hobbsyoyo -> Hobbs - Yo - Yo
Synsensa -> Sin - Senza (like La Senza except without the La)

 

[Mise]

virote_considon = vi-hhhhhhro*-tay
synsensa = synaesthesia
hobbsyoyo = hobbsy-boyo


*-in case you didn't get the feel of this, my tongue is at the back of my throat for this, like they do in spanish.

 

[Quackers]

Mise = Mez for some reason,
Hobbsyoyo - Hobb-SIE-YOYO

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Borachio -> Bore - ahk - eee - oh

Borachio -> Boar - Awtch - Eeo

It's Bor-eight-ts-ee-oo in my mind.

The second g in Ziggy is silent by the way.

 

[cardgame]

I imagine Borachio to be bore-ay-shee-oh, myself. Rhymes with fellatio, kind of.

 

[Zelig]

I don't say names out loud and I don't sub-vocalize when I read so I've never tried to pronounce most of the usernames on the site.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

Virote_Considon -> Veer - oat - ee - con - sid - on
Quackers -> kwack - ers
Mise -> Myz
Cutlass -> cut - lass (soft 'a', it sounds like something between lAss and less, don't know how to write it)
Crezth -> creh - zith
Zelig -> zay - lig or mars
Patroklos - ee - gull - fas

Me neither. It's more of a visual affair.

I only tried it now because of this thread.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

You still pronounce them in your head guys. Unless you're s.

 

[Antilogic]

I'd like to know how you are actually supposed to say Crezth. I used to think it was spelled Czerth and the "cz" was a soft c, like an s. So I was pronouncing it as "sirth" for awhile.

I traditionally use a short 'a' sound when pronouncing my name--always have used a short 'a' when pronouncing names that begin with that letter.


EDIT:

No, they are all speed readers.

 

[Leoreth]

Crezth -> Creth. The z is silent.

 

[Crezth]

synsensa = synaesthesia

Wow I'm not the only one that does this. (^O^)

Borachio - bo ray shee oh (like fellatio, as cardgame said)

 

[Mise]

Crezth = Crezith
And yeah, Borachio is like fellatio. Boratio. Horatio, I suppose.

 

[Borachio]

I imagine Borachio to be bore-ay-shee-oh, myself. Rhymes with fellatio, kind of.

Close. But 1:45 has it right:

Link to video.

How you pronounce Crezth I've no idea.

I don't say names out loud and I don't sub-vocalize when I read so I've never tried to pronounce most of the usernames on the site.

How do you know you don't?

I have a theory that telepaths, or more exactly people who can tell what other people are thinking, could pick up on the subvocalization patterns. But they'd have to be very good. I reckon straight telepathy would be just as easy.

I'm not having Keanu announcing you every time I read a post.

It's 8-tsio in my head. Deal with it

 

[Borachio]

OK. Dealt with.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Flexible.
