Pronunciation of Handles

[Storminator]

Mine gets confused a lot.

<SNIP>

So, my handle literally means "Clever woman". And no, I'm not a woman.

<SNIP>

One could argue that you're not clever either.

And it's Storminator, just like it sounds.

Not like this thread needs *annother* smart-a** reply.

Okay, I'm done being a smart.

One I've wondered about lately:

WayneLigon (LEE-gon, LYE-gon, or LIH-gon - or even LIH-gun?)

It's the last one. Very few people ever pronounce my name right, and I've heard off of those. I'll also get 'liggons', since apparently that's a somewhat more common name in other parts of the country. I also get, for some reason 'Lee-jun', pronounced as in 'Foriegn Legion', Lee-GON, Lee-hoon (what planet that person was from, I'm not certain) and 'Lih-JUN'.

(Odd my first reply here is on how I pronounce my name.)

When I first started playing Island of Kesmai in the late 80's and created the handle that I tend to use almost everywhere, I started pronouncing it "Tis - sor" ... like "Sizzor" but when I went to the IOK convention everyone was calling me "Sore." Which is probably better since Tzor is closer to Tzar ... although it was derived from my old CB handle Thor.

But personally, you can call me anything, as long as you call me when its dinner time.

I really try not to pee in front of ogres. Makes me feel kinda exposed. That, and I'm afraid of ticking them off.

Good policy.

"pE-bär-'ten-d&r

The "P" is NOT silent. Strong accent on first syllable, with lighter accent on the third. It's a pun regarding antimatter, not lead.

 

[CRGreathouse]

See-Are-Great-House.

 

[Dungannon]

Dun-GAN-non, emphasis on the second syllable.

 

[jonesy]

No, it's not 'jonsy', like everyone always says.

'jo' as the 'yo' in 'yolk'
'ne' as the 'ne' in 'nectar'
'sy' as the 'si' in 'sick'

 

[d4]

See-Are-Great-House.

see, and all these years i thought it was either See Are Gee Reet House, or See Are Greeth Ouse.
