just a quick thread before i am gone

How do you pronounce your username? Some usernames are difficult to say and many people get it wrong.

So mine is hyelakingsfan (HI-EL-AY-KEENGS-FAN)...some people say (hi-LUH-keengs-fan)

Well since my name is based off that Japanese frog character I guess it would be said as if in Japanese:

keh-roh-pee

lol...that spelling looks funny. LOL

You can pronounce the R however you want. The Japanese way. The most common American accent way. The English way or the Spanish way.

Sounds like greeting a hockey fan to me!

I got the L.A. Kings part, but was a little thrown by the “e” after the Hy!

My irm sounds like the word “ear”+ m and
gaard like: to protect, to defend, i.e. guard,

although the final “d” sounds more like a “t”.

Some people say the irm like the first part of ermine.

Mine's easy enough, but I know it's pronounced differently depending on your accent.
I say it "KRARF-TEA"
But I know the American pronounciation would be "KR-AIRF-TEE".

That sound [unfortunately] reminds me of a homosexual Australian guy who kept trying to chat me up in the pub on multiple occasions. He'd keep whining my name "KR-AIRFFFF-TEE" and it/he was annoying after a short while.

I wouldn't have imagined anyone mispronoucing Baakay until I heard that animated doohickey from a few weeks back say "B. A. A. Kay"

So, it's "baa" as in the sound a sheep makes. Or the sound Kymaera makes when he's calling me "baka"

And Kay, as in... my name.

Baka-Kay
baa-kay

Duncecap.

You know what - I really have no idea where to begin.

I know how to pronounce it, but I'll be stumped trying to explain it. It will drive me nuts

I will think some more and get back to you all.

I've got an easy name:
Crack+pot=Me
yeah....I know that was unnecessary, but fun

Links-a!

To be honest, I forgot where in the heck this name even came from

It's been my hotmail account since 94 or 95 (before MSN owned it!

).

And I've been pronouncing Joost like boot this whole time too!!!
