The OcUK Username Pronunciation Thread

iCraig · 12 May 2006 at 10:43

Ever read a post from a user and read their name out aloud, unsure of whether that is correct way of saying it or not?

Now it's time to find out. Ask your general collective, and the user in question, and find out whether you've been saying it right, or if you've been using an "apple in your mouth" version.

Pronounce away!

Hal-ee.
Any pronunciation as Hayley = death.....or something close to it

Now you see, when I first joined I presumed it was pronounced as "hayley", and your real name was similar.

Guess I'm going to die.

At a first glance I though penski was peniski.

How comical.

This is a bit geeky but applies to this thread. It involves the android Data from Star Trek The Next generation...

I stopped reading here.

Everytime someone pronounces Sic as psyche they have to pay me £5 in royalties. I'll let cyKey off as his is pronounced with a hard e at the end, as in psych-ee.

My name is pronounced psych and Sic's isn't. End of

I like to pronounce yours as pissick.

Argh! That winds me up too!

People shorten it to Mo, that's fine - but some people type 'Moh' which... doesn't sound like 'Moe', it sounds like 'Mob' without the b!

Grr.

What about 'inda?
