I pronounced Mitth'raw'nuruodo's name right. I just can't spell it very well.

Getting back to the topic at hand, I've never really had that problem with people's names. I basically only pay attention to them if they catch my eye or if I'm going to reply to someone in particular.

UGGH. I HATE THE NEW USERTNAMES!! I cant call "Kinetic" anything but Aries.Hehe.

I say syk3 as Sick. Lol. When I was genkai_yyh as a faster way, I said genkaich., or genkai-sh. lol.

And I say Lady Katana just plain Lady K. It's easier.

[color=#9933ff]When Endymion first signed up, I thought his name was Endymon, like a Digimon. ^_^;;;

I also pronounced Mitth'raw'nuruodo' name as myth-raw-nah-dow. Know that I know how to pronouce it correctly, I'll certainy try.

Before I took the time to stop and pronounce Semjaza's name, it was Semjazel for me. ^_^;;; Now I ponounce it "Sehm-jah-zah Ah-zah-zehl". Still don't know it it's right, but pretty good.

I used to say Lady Macadioth as Lady Macdoth. I missed a couple vowels there. Heh.

Did I pronounce Cera right? I always thought it was seh-rah, because the "e" is there.

Whn M own name was roxieortatiana, I used to hate it being smushed together, because it looks like it says "roxie ORT atiana". -.-[/color]

I don't think I've had a real problem with names as such (although I always see TN as Transtric Nerve, and I always pronounced Jinzo's name like Jinzo-onion), but I get people confused. It took me ages to be able to work out that Medra and Warlock were separate people, and Devidramon and shadowdramon more or less became one entity to me for a few weeks after I first joined.

Heh, I've been lucky so far in that I've never had to call Mitth by his name before. But I never had a problem with Syk3, strangely enough.

Semjaza Azazel kind of sounds like a spell in Harry Potter to me. :modrod:

[color=green]well, i alwats thought tn was transactic nerve. don't ask me why. and i call jin*insert rest of name here*17, jin17. and i used to have a problem with syk3, but ever since he made my banner, i never mess up on his name. and thrawn... i won't even try. semajaza, i call semajaza or semajaza azazel. i don't know how i pronunce it right when i can't even spell it. it could be that i'm just a horrable speller. and i only know one person who messes up my name, and that's semajaza when he calls me ssj. i don't really care, though.[/color]

[size=1] [FONT=century gothic] [color=crimson] I took me a while to get used to everyones new name when the 'name change' happened. But then again, i get confused when people change avatars, like I do that alot :D

I often when i was new here, got Flash, Medra, and Warlock all mixed up, I was confused lol. And after the name change, I remember thinking "who is that new moderator Medra" and "where is Supersayan?"

[color=deeppink] [size=1]I used to think it was Min-ith-raw-amudo. o.o

*dodges tomatoes*

[b]Lady K:[/b] During my first month or so, I thought it was 'Kittana'. That's where I got my rpg chars' last names though. ^_^

[b]Sniglefager:[/b] Sin-gle-fin-ger.

[color=blue]*breathes sigh of relief* Oh thank god, i've been pronouncing Juuthena's name correctly ^_^

I'd be really worried if any of you couldn't pronounce my name o.O

Anyway, there's about four names here I have trouble with.
[b]Mnemolth -[/b] I have no idea how this is pronounced, I usually pronounce it without the M...[i]please[/i] tell us how to say it properly, Mnemolth. It's driving me crazy :p

[b]Mitth'raw'nuruodo -[/b] I don't even try to say this one...

[b]Jinzouningen 17 -[/b] I'm lost after the 'Jin' part...

[b]Deus -[/b] I just realised that's strange, seeing as he's a good friend and i don't know how to pronounce his name, lol. I think he told me once, but I can't remember. Anyway, I prefer to call Deus Dan, so I guess it doesn't matter ^^[/color]

You've got it right. :)

Its pronounced nem-moth. The M is silent.

I'm still waiting for someone to figure out where my name is from... :D

I see:

Mnemolth - Mothman
Semjaza Azazel - Semaja

Everything else is easy. It's just too much work to try to pronounce something right when all I really have to do is spell it. For thats the easy part. Yet for some reason, people continue to spell my name wrong... always... It's probably easier to pronounce than it is to spell.

I've never ever been in a situation where I've ever had to say any of your names outloud. So I've never really thought about it. I kind of sound them out in my head, but so many names here are not exactly natural for me to pronounce. Most of the time I kind of just read the first few letters or section of someone's name, and that's how I tell who wrote what.

Some of the stuff you guys are coming up with for my name are harder to pronounce than the original haha.

It's a literary term (and a character I believe).[/color]
