Me too, I thought it was F Yah.

I think I need to right all these pronunciations down somewhere.

What can I say, just a huge fan and I thought the name was cool, going to see them in concert again in January, will be the 9th time I have seen them live.

Might look them up...

I kinda study German, and ei = i sound, and ie = e sound right? Its the last letter, right?

The downside to this thread is we've lost any excuse for pronouncing anyone wrong.

Lol.

INSUNABULA
INSUN
INSUN-A-BUNS.............(Moxmax)
IN-SEW.......................(Crux)
INSUN-A-BLAHBLAH.......(Rakkasan)
INSTA-BULLA...............(Chiefmedicman)
INNS...........................(G--Man)
IN-SOME-BULL..............(An Irreg I think)

I'm hoping there won't be too many more

Ha ha, awesome, and I might take you up on that most kind offer sometimes dude (although I'm gonna be busy from Christmas evening night to boxing day evening, but after that I think I'll join the 8th and get into the T-bagging "Crazy-Ned" spirit (yep, I've read the 8th Tactical Wiki ))

[Ferris Bueller]

If you cant pronounce my name, you need to rent the movie. Ben Stein says it nice and slow several times in a row. Oddly enough, people really do screw it up, calling me "bull-er" or "fenris", like im one of the summons from Final Fantasy. It's simple to say: feh-riss bue-ler. I respond to either half though.

EDIT: Yes, i know the FF summon was Fenrir, not fenris, but it's a close enough approximation that it makes me think of it when people call me that.

[FYAH29]

I saw FYAH labeled across a guitar on a CoC video, and originally intended it as FYAH! This being the family friendly place that it is, I think Feeyah works better, and thats how most pronounced it. I knew exactly where Rage's name came from and the album is somewhere here on a shelf. I've also squadded a few times with our friend to the north, Insta-Bulla, that one made me laugh.

[FrankHelicoptr]

All the consonants in my name are actually silent, so its actually pronounced aeioe. Or for the people who are a little slow ae-ioe. I don't think anyone has actually gotten it right yet.

Are you sure it's not pronounced "aei-oe" Like the sound of someone called Frank falling out of a Helicopter and landing face first?

[Razcsak]

Raz works quite well, though Raz-ksack works fine. The k blends into the last s. Think of the ending sound to flasks.

Jeeze Raz, did you fall out of the Helicopter with Frank ?!?!?!

[Boulderdash]

I used Peregrine for awhile but it was just impossible for anyone to get it right. Pear-ah-grin. Boulder is pretty easy though.

[MasterEditorInChief]

This thread is too long. Do we REALLY have trouble saying people's names...

Mass-tur, Ed-it-ur, I-n, Chi-ef.

If you can't say that, go retake 7th grade English and read The Giver again!

Don't forget the night I jumped in and said, "INSUNABULAHBULAH.....(mumble mumble)"


Bagheera is typically pronounced;

Buh
Gee (hard G, like saying the word "Gi" for martial arts uniforms)
Rah


Or you can just call me Bag over VOIP. Everyone else does.

Bagheera means panther, and the actual proper spelling is Baghira. However, the west typically knows the word with two 'e's.

I prefer "Hey you", for you, Insun.

[Vortex421]

Really, if you need to learn how to pronounce my name, you need serious help. It's about as simple as they come.

Vortex. Don't need to worry about the numbers on the end - calling me Vortex or calling me Vort works just fine.

...of course, my late grandmother would say, "You can call me anything you want, just don't call me late to dinner." LOL
