Well... I really don't know... I hate my nick, but think it's unnecessary to change it. Maybe you can say ksomas, or maybe it's best just not to say it at all... :wink:

I thought it was pronounced like "chomas" where 'ch' is pronounced like in (Johann Sebastian) "Bach", you know that rolling ugly sound...

PS. Woooo! this is my first 2-page topic!

Xhomaz · Post by **Xhomaz** » 10 Dec 2002, 23:19

congratulations, it's a nice topic

anyway... best suggestions for xhomaz pronounciations so far:
dz said "ex-homaz"
I said "ksomas"
but please don't make this a big deal.. it's just an ugly ugly nickname

chux · Post by **chux** » 11 Dec 2002, 13:51

mrickx is actually Mr. Ickx. Read his interview.

zworqy · Post by **zworqy** » 11 Dec 2002, 22:08

At first i thought of mrickx as "Mr. Rix", but when i saw there was only one 'r', i changed to "Mr. Ix".

DarMoeD - Dar-Moe-Dee -> Since it's really DMD the 'i' sound after the last 'D' must be said.

pajen - pa-yen " ('a' as in 'father', actually, pajen is swedish for "the pie"

)

dz - dezz

m0nkeii - mon-keyyyyy

Chuckles, isn't 'Syff' and 'Syph' prononuced identically?

yeah, i think it might be. I was trying to work out a way to make them different. by Syph I kinda meant "Siph"

MagnusB · Post by **MagnusB** » 11 Dec 2002, 22:16

DarMoeD - Dar-Moe-Dee -> Since it's really DMD the 'i' sound after the last 'D' must be said.

His nick isn't really DMD, it's really DarMoeD. Your pronounciation could be right anyway, I'm not sure.

About Ciph: I'd think it's somewhere between Cyph and Ciph.

What I meant was, since it's based on DMD, it should be like that.
or maybe it should be "Dar-Moe-Da", cause I think 'D' is pronounced like 'da' in russian...

MagnusB · Post by **MagnusB** » 11 Dec 2002, 22:54

It's probably pronounced a bit like that D in the beginning.
DarMoeDa sounds a little strange, but hey.....hey.....

dz · Post by dz » 11 Dec 2002, 23:06

me pronounces ciph same way as chip except i add h at the end, so i guess i say it like chiph or something..
dmd is either dmd or darmoed, just like they are written....

MagnusB · Post by **MagnusB** » 12 Dec 2002, 15:11

Chiph? That can't be right.

ZeratuL · Post by **ZeratuL** » 21 Dec 2002, 23:20

I pronounce my nick like this:

Zehr-ah-tool

If anyone here plays Starcraft they've heard the name said, because Zeratul is a character in the game.

-Z

MagnusB · Post by **MagnusB** » 22 Dec 2002, 00:16

That's what I thought. Same kind of -u as in Abula. A-boo-lah.

MagnusB · Post by **MagnusB** » 22 Dec 2002, 02:15

Nope.

Pronounce Magnus the way you would pronounce 'Magnum' and B the way you would pronounce 'B'.

chux · Post by **chux** » 22 Dec 2002, 02:18

Id pronounce 'magnum' "magnum"...so is it MagnumB?

devin · Post by **devin** » 26 Dec 2002, 05:38

made an interesting discovery...i was watching sports car racing, and there was a racer named csaba and the announcer was like "as impossible as it may seem to pronounce his name is Cha-bah"

that is cool now i dont have to look at his name and wonder how the F*** to spell it.

CAHLAIICNES · Post by **CAHLAIICNES** » 30 Dec 2002, 04:25

wow people on that side of the earth have too many letters and symbols it confuses me the stupid american

dont try to pronounce my name but think of it as Alice in Chains (because thats what it spells) like the band

last thing im going to say is

-dz is dezz like it used to be
-abula is uh-boo-luh
-even poeple in england dont talk english with the right pronunciations
-is it dar-moe-ed or dar-mode?
-the only good songs the ramones ever sang was "i wanna be sedated"

Great MP, now you got my head stuck on that song by Destiny's Child, thanks

Anyway, to post some relevance to the topic, my name is pronounced like svÃ¦jn-r

If you don't know the letter "Ã¦", then I can say it is about the same sound as you use in "hat"

Xhomaz · Post by **Xhomaz** » 2 Jan 2003, 00:24

That's great, SvhatjnR!

Hi MoPo!

Irony is a great thing...
Btw... A research shows that under 5% know my nick... The most common nick which is meant for me is Xhomas.. Too bad it's wrong. I've also heard Xhonaz, Xhomasez and lots of other nicks..

we already had a discussion of how to pronounce my nick.

chux · Post by **chux** » 2 Jan 2003, 00:33

"a survey"?? Was i one of those 'under 5%'? I know its Xhomaz, but i may hav espelt it wrong sometime...

Im sorry...

WkE wrote:this is my most wanted list : TorInge (inj or in-geh ?), DarMoeD (mo-ed or mowd ?), SveinR (svey-ner, S-veiner etc.), dz (dee-zee or dee-zed), psy (psa-ee, sa-ee), pajen (page-en, pa-jen), Jokke (jo-keh, jok), Jeppe (Jep-peh, jep), Balazs (balas, balatz) Rosza (rossa, rotza), ciph (keef, seef)........

TorInge: his name is Tor Inge, so you pronounce the names seperately. Tor should be obvious, Inge is In-geh. During regular speech the two names will usually be pronounced as one name.
DarMoeD: DarMoeD is (sort of) how DMD is pronounced in Russian written down. It's Dar-Moed I think.
SveinR: His name is Svein Rune, so the R is pronounced separately. SvÃ¦yn-R. The letter Ã¦ is pronounced like the a in the English word 'man'. The Norwegian pronunciation of R is 'err'.
dz: No one knows. Maybe 'deh-see', 'dee-see', 'dee-zed', etc. dz is a truncation of his former nick, Dezz. Maybe that helps.
psy: The p is silent. Sayh.
pajen: Imagine that the j is an i or a y. Payh-en.
Jokke: Again, the j is like a y. Yook-eh.
Jeppe: Yet again, y. Yep-eh.
Balazs Rozsa: Just Balass Rossa.
ciph: Either siph or syph.

I might be a bit off on some of them, and they have probably been mentioned earlier in the thread.

How do you think my name is pronounced?

Chupacabra I guess. At least that's how I've always pronounced it in my head.

Your'e Norwegian just like TorInge, so you probably know better than me, but as far as I know there is no audible 'g' in the name 'Inge' just the 'ng' sound. (Very hard for foreign people, especially Englishmen / Americans, to say)

Ye...I say it like that (wish I could explain better, like if I could write some phonetic signs.

But the pronounciation of it probably varies in different parts of the country.

sonic_fruit · Post by **sonic_fruit** » 5 Jun 2003, 13:20

i always assumed:

ah-byoo-la
yeh-per
yoh-ker
rye-bot
tor-inj
svine-arr
p-sye (it sounds better with the p)
pah-jen
siff

and probably others

Antz · Post by **Antz** » 5 Jun 2003, 14:12

well it's quite obvious how my nick is pronounced but for those few uncertain let me help.

a=kgz
n=en
t=o
Z=n

so it's like Xenon but with the x being pronounced a bit more g-ishness in it. the k is not strong, just bringing a little sharpness. the z makes the end s in x softer and warmer.

Yes, I agree. I know there's a phonetical character for that sound. The theoretically correct way to pronounce it might be with a normal 'g'-sound, but whenever you actually pronounce the word it will turn out as that tricky 'ng' sound.

sonic_fruit:

ah-byoo-la - Probably more like ah-boo-la. Maybe that's what you meant.
yeh-per, yoh-ker - These are correct. There's no pronounced 'r' in the end of course.
rye-bot - I'm thinking more like 'ree-bot', with a very short 'ee' sound. Sort of like the sound frogs make.
tor-inj - This is wrong. See above.
svine-arr - This one is ok. Not exactly right, but you'll get by.
p-sye - It's common practice to not pronounce p in the start of a word. Of course, you can pronounce it the way you want to in your head
pah-jen - The j should be the same sound as the j in Jeppe or Jokke. Like an English y.
siff - That's fine.

John · Post by **John** » 5 Jun 2003, 17:18

After checking top 100 tt-list

How do I say: (name in here is how I say it now)
MGen (emdjen)
ZiuteK (siuteck)
Dime (daim)...is it good now???????
H2o2manden (I dont have a clue about this one)
TGabee (tigaby or tigabi)

help me...

EDIT: had to chose btw daim and dajm....I dont know why...

MagnusB · Post by **MagnusB** » 5 Jun 2003, 18:58

MGen (emdjen) - English pronunciation rules say that a 'g' followed by the letter 'e' should be pronounced "softly", so em-jen (emdjen) is probably right.
ZiuteK (siuteck) - That looks right.
Dime (dajm or daim) - Like the word 'dime' (or the chocolate Daim) I guess.
H2o2manden (I dont have a clue about this one) - H2O2 is pronounced in whatever way the chemical formula for hydrogen peroxide is pronounced in your language. H-Two-O-Two. 'manden' is Danish for 'the man' (H2O2manden means 'The H2O2 Man', go figure

). There's no distinctly pronounced 'd' in manden, and the 'a' is like the a in the English word 'car'.
TGabee (tigaby or tigabi) - I have no idea. I usually think 'Tee-Gabee', but it could be anything for what I know.

How is your nick pronounced?
