Pronouncing usernames

[Tomoyo]

Since it is on the web, unless you ask, it is sometimes very hard to find out how someone's username is pronounced. For example, I'm sure that many people pronounce my name "Ta-moi-yo", instead of "Toe-moe-yo". Some names are just plain hard to pronounce, like SesnOfWthr. I pronounce it like "Sessin off Wi-derr".

Also some names, like T0h6wy, are just plainn impossible. (I pronounce it "Toe <spazzes> wy")

 

[Reno]

Hmm, i always pronounced it To-mi-yo...

 

[Cheetah]

I voted for "Toe-moi-yo" although I pronounce it "To-moi-yo".

 

[Aphex_Twin]

Tomayto

 

[The Last Conformist]

I pronounce it "taw-moy-aw".

"SesnOfWthr" I, due to an old misunderstanding, pronounce as "Season of War".

Toh6wy, for not particular reason, as "toe-füü", where 'ü' is the rounded ee sound as in French lune or German für.

 

[Taliesin]

SesnOfWthr-- I pronounce it Ssezn-of-weather.

Geez, you guys just don't get it! In fact, I picked this screen name solely *because* of what it sounds like (when you pronounce it correctly). If you've ever read one of the "where did you get your screen name?" threads, I always say it's pronounced like "toe six why." (@ The Last Conformist: toe-füü?? WTH!?!)

I think of Tomoyo like Tuh-moy-o, and LLXerxes as how he pronounces it himself. I really haven't thought about how to pronounce SesnOfWthr - "sess'n of w'th'r", I guess.

The problem is, I saw your username long before I ran across the explanation. I can't really motivate myself to change the sound I associate with it, and it cannot matter very much to you, can it?

Toe-moi-yo
Sea-son of Wea-ther (although I think it originated as Seasons of Wither)
El-El-Xerxes
Tow-six-why
vi-per 2-7-5

 

[Masquerouge]

Good luck for non-french speakers when they'll try to pronounce Masquerouge
It's more or like MaskuhRRooje.

 

[Blasphemous]

Tomoyo: Tuh-moyoe
SesnOfWthr: Ses(i)n-uv-w(e)th(u)r (letters in parentheses are barely pronounced, rather hinted.)
LLXerxes: El-el-zerk-zees
Masquerouge: Mask-rowg (as if it were Maskrogue)
Blasphemous: Blas-fem-us

(I didn't even try to pronounced Toh6wy before I read the explanation and it's not fair to say I pronounce it "toe-six-why" because I only do that since I read his explanation.)

 

[The Last Conformist]

Rather, mask-uh-RRoozh, surely? (Assuming 'RR' to be an uvular fricative.)

 

[Amenhotep7]

Ah-men-hoe-tep-sev-en

 

[Taliesin]

Tal-yee-sheeñ

The y is fairly weak.
