The Player Name Pronounciation Thread

**Arithea** · 12-22-2007, 02:05 PM

Okay, I know a lot of people get frustrated when others mispronounce their names, regardless of complexity. So here's a thread for all those people whose player names have been mispronounced. I'll start it off myself.

Arithea = air-ih-thee-ah. Not Aretha, as in Franklin. I will burst into song over VOIP if you call me that from here on out.

Sweet. You should be careful what you promise in public.

**Zhohar** · 12-22-2007, 02:16 PM

I would have guessed Ari-three-ah =p

Mine's Zhohar as in Zho-har. Pretty simple so long as you get the zh sound right -- think of Doctor Zhivago.

Here's a soundclip of me pronouncing it.

**ThePenguineer** · 12-22-2007, 02:35 PM

Mine is pronounced:

"Your Awesomeness"

Crux, is yours like "crucks" or "crew"? I thought the latter, but I heard people called you "crucks".

**INSUNABULA** · 12-22-2007, 02:57 PM

Mine is: IN-SUN-AH-BULL-AH.

but people just call me IN-SUN

**Aruncado** · 12-22-2007, 03:02 PM

Mine is: Ahh-run-cah-doe but I'll answer to Ahh-run.

Its more an "ahh" sound on the first syllable as opposed to a strong "A" sound like in the name "Aaron".

**DaBrit** · 12-22-2007, 03:05 PM

Mine's realllly hard.
"Da" as in "duh"
"Brit" as in "Brit" Not, um, brite?

Mine can be rather difficult: MDFubar - Foo+Bar is all I need to here. LOL Just kidding> I'll answer to just about anything, especially after a few drinks.

**Superfast** · 12-22-2007, 03:37 PM

Just call me Mr. Awesome or awesome for short, everybody else does.

HBrutusH · 12-22-2007, 04:19 PM
