Starlight Posted May 10, 2003 Report Posted May 10, 2003 Nothing special here... just plain old 'Starlight'. (though some pronounce it 'perv' *shakes head*)
Seii Posted May 12, 2003 Report Posted May 12, 2003 Eh...mine is kinda easy. It might be confusing, though. Say-ee.
The Big Pointy One Posted May 15, 2003 Report Posted May 15, 2003 Hrmm... to truly understand how one may speak and say my name, first, they must understand the whole name. So, like when we did this on the old boards (AM) let's analyze (sp?) each section, shall we? 'The' pronounced by placing one's tongue between their teeth and blowing a little bit, then pulling the tongu back somewhat and letting that e get out, all in one go. the. The is the glue that holds the worlds words together. Or at least, some of them. Heh, well, maybe not holds them together so much as joins them... starts them... umm, builds a foundation? I don't know, it's an important word. In english. 'Big' adjective, meaning large in size. Another nice three letter word. Rhymes with dig. 'Pointy' also an adjective, but means sharp. But not sharp like a sword. Sharp like a pin. Sharp that's like 'Ow, some one put something pointy in my eye, and now I can't see.' sharp. Of course, you could take out someone's eye(s) with a sword, but that's cheating. 'One' this is some sort of word, or maybe a number, depending on where you come from. Basically it means that there is one. What does one mean? Well, it means there's more than none. Less than two. Just one. Such as: "There is only one Big Pointy One. That's why we call him 'The' If there was more than one, we would all be dooomed." (Third 'o' in 'doomed' unintentional, but it works...) There's some spaces between each word, but I'll leave that up to everyone's imagination. Here, we see them all together. The Big Pointy One also, my main alias, BigPointyStick; BigPointy have already been defined and pronounced... well, not really, but that's okay. Stick is pronounced like this: "Stick." say it aloud a few times, get a feel for it, it's fun to say. "Stick.Stick.Stick.AllhailStick.StickStickStickhappyhappyStickStick." Like that, over and over, especially while you're sleeping. Or shopping. Or doing a job interview... anyways, I think I also have some other names that could use some defining: Dierden Samshae (also Stick) Dee-air-den Sam-shay... pronounce the 'air' part lightly... although, that might be where the accent is... bleh. Aidan Serradin (aka Sliver, which rhymes with liver) Ay-dan Ser-ra-din, simple stuff. Rocoss; Rock-uss Roxxia; Rock-see-ah Mr.Bunny; Holy lord of the carrot... err, Miss-ter Bun-nee... heh... ...and that covers it, sure there's more, but I'm running out of humor.
Kasmandre Posted May 15, 2003 Report Posted May 15, 2003 very educational, BPO. Not just for the funny parts, but I also just found out that I'd been mispronouncing Rocoss's name all this time...good thing we've got this thread.
Annael Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 Flutters her wings with some distress how the heck do I pronounce my name??? I haven't the foggiest clue. I think that's why half the people on here just use Ann or Rae Rae. hehe. Okay, let's give this a try. Annael = Ann-E-L (please stay away from the anal, PLEASE) Rae Rae = Ray Ray Simple enough I say....but then, who knows. I've found that after 23 years I still hear different pronounciations of my real name. Half of them come from my father

Yui-chan Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 'JEER'? 'JEER'?! I'm going to have to forget I read that. It must not be so. After all this time, to have been mispronouncing your name... Mortified, Yui-chan finds a nice, quiet corner to hide in and curls into a little ball. Jeerfalcon?!
Alaeha Posted May 21, 2003 Report Posted May 21, 2003 *Hugs Yui* Don't feel bad... I've been mispronouncing that one horribly, and I'm usually good at that sort of thing. I was biting my thumb at myself for a while, for that one. Can't beat a good Shakespearean insult. "Do you bite your thumb at me, Sir? ... (Is the law on my side if I say yes?)
Gyrfalcon Posted May 21, 2003 Report Posted May 21, 2003 I'll accept Jy-er-fal-con as well. I just pronounce my name that way out of personal preference. And no, Alaeha, no thumb-biting from me. *winces* Great, now three women are angry at me... *sighs*
Dakeyras Posted May 21, 2003 Report Posted May 21, 2003 Dakeyras = 'DAH-kee-rahs' Dake pronounced like lake Dak = 'dahk' errr... whatever you can pronounce it the way you want it or the way you ever did it
Katzaniel Posted May 23, 2003 Report Posted May 23, 2003 JEER Falcon!?!?!? Ack! I think I am mad at you, too. I always thought it was Gyr as in grrrrr. Gur! Like, the letter G!!! *sigh* I think I may have to stick with Tam on that, Gyr. I don't think I can start pronouncing your name Jeerfalcon. At least, new people may be able to learn from this thread. Train 'em while they're young! Anyway: somewhere halfway between CAT - zan - ee - el CAT - zan - yel Katz
Ayshela Posted May 23, 2003 Report Posted May 23, 2003 at least i wasn't too far off on that one, though i had the G sound also. I would never have come to JEERfalcon, when Gearfalcon seemed so much more sensible.
Gyrfalcon Posted May 24, 2003 Report Posted May 24, 2003 Well, Geer-falcon is actually the best way to say it- my appologies for the confusion, I just decided to use the word Jeer to give the general sense of how I say the first three letters of my name without noting that it's a 'g' rather then 'j' start.
Salinye Posted May 24, 2003 Author Report Posted May 24, 2003 Sorry, dear. It's wholly Gyre falcon to me. As in GUY (like a man) er. LOL That's how the innocent GyrE started on accident. my fingers wanted to type it like my brain was saying it!! ~SalinYAY
Ozymandias Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 Heh. Poor, poor Gyr... Ozymandias quietly steps out of their way (ah-zee-mahn-dee-us).
Yui-chan Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 Yay! It's Gheer-falcon after all?! *Yui-chan jumps up and runs around, hugging Tralla, Alaeha, Gyrfalcon, Salinye, Ozy and everyone else within range* I'm so haaaappy!
Jakob Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 *shakes his head at thought of Jeering Gyr* Okay... I have never had a complaint with the way anyone has said my name... just how they spell it... it's J - A - K - O - B Pronunciation (or at least the ones I've grown to live with.): JAE-kub (long A sound as in jade) YAA-kub (Zadown introduced me to this pronunciation, I like it better)
Gyrfalcon Posted May 28, 2003 Report Posted May 28, 2003 Yaa-kub? Interesting way to say your name, I'll try to remember to think it when I see your name, Jakob.
Vlad Posted May 29, 2003 Report Posted May 29, 2003 that was my grandpa's name, "Yaa-kub" Hebrew, biblical.
