Mine gets confused a lot.
It's German, though it shows my utter lack of the language.
Die (just like the verb), and Klue-gay
It's the name of an opera by Carl Orff (Carmina Burana fame), and the entire title is "The King and the Clever Woman", which I guess would translate into something like "Der Koenig und die kluge". I took "die kluge" to mean just "the Clever" or "Clever person", not realizing that the german word for "The" is sex-based, like Spanish, so it's "Der" for men, and "Die" for women. Like La, or El in Spanish.
So, my handle literally means "Clever woman". And no, I'm not a woman.
Well, you know how it is... 4 years after I create the handle, someone cleverly points that out to me, and by then I've spread it across the entire internet, and everywhere else, so to change it at this point would be really painful.

I'd always figured that was the case; it's always what came up into my mind when I saw it.
Master of the house, keeper of the zoo, something, something, something...ahh...bother. Ne'er mind.
Anyway, my own handle has a number of ways to be pronounced, depending on what perspective you're coming from.
Most commonly, it's pronounced: trik-ster god.
To the Norse, it might go something more along the lines of: Low-key
A few modernized versions of it for North American aborigines might go something like: ki-ot-e, or possibly ra-ven.
Gimble might say something closer to: O-leh-DAH-mare-uh, or something along those lines, at least.
Scarn natives would whip out an approximation of: En-keel-e
Enworlders, after reading up to this point, might vocalize it more like: wayne-kur
And so on, and so on, ad nauseum.
Right, on my way, on my way, I'll stop this right.
Now.
