    i'm looking at Heyes, siogfionsceal and thaedydal in particular.

    how do you pronounce these names?

    the two latter ones are a complete mystery to me.

    heyes, is it hayes or highs?

    I would have thought it obvious that simu was pronounced see-moo. sim-ooh, why that's just silly.

    ixoy, that gets me every time. How they hell do you pronounce ixoy?

    Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,135 ✭✭✭✭John


    John2 = John Two

    It's a tough one, I know.

    Giblet, I always pronounce your name with a j (well in my head, I don't read boards aloud that often) as that's the way giblet (as in from a chicken) is pronounced (or so my dictionary would have me believe).

    Corm eye e.

    It's supposed to be Corm IE (IE = Irish country code), never did I think it would lead to everyone I meet through poker and everywhere else calling me what my mam used to call me, cormy.:o

    So I just call myself cormy now too.

    Yeah and that would be wrong ;)

    Giblet as in "Give" or "Gizzard"

    And I've always pronounced "feylya" as "failure" in a southern accent!

    Lucky for me this thread was started. I was pronouncing Giblet like chicken guts, adding an e to Nesf and thought Simu was akin to the ostrich-like bird.

    When Shabs and Tsubh done a podcast a while back, they pronounced a few names. So that cleared a few things up for me.

    maybe because giblet (pronounced jiblet) is actually a word. its the offal bits of a chicken remember?

    my name is pronounced sp-a-stick
