How do you say your username?

    Hi Guys,

    I thought it would be fun to start a thread about how we pronounce our usernames as sometimes it doesn’t translate across the net correctly.

    Some names like mine for example are pretty straightforward but others are quite weird and wonderful and it can come as a shock to the system when learning you’ve been saying it wrong in your head for so long :pac:

    I was thinking we could start with a username and others have to guess how it’s said and the user picks the winner who then nominates the next one.

    Thoughts? :D

    It's unclear if you or me (ssss-Keefy) nominates the next one - but since EN is here I think we should go with that?
