How Do You Pronounce Your Name?

[Aileen Thomas]

Aileen is said like this: ay-LEEN.

And I think Thomas is easly pronounced. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

[Lucrecia Hayes]

Mine's an odd one. /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> It's loo-CREE-sha. (No idea how to write something phonetically unfortunately, so that's my best guess) and Hayes is pronounced like the word haze.

[Surelona Writtman]

Mmmmh mine's not so hard...

Su (as in soup)-reh (as in retaliation)-lo(as in lobster)- na (as in Anna) (W)rittm(a)n

The stress is on the "re" like Surélona ^^

Heee, good idea. Some HOL folk have tricky names. I don't think mine is though:

Aww-bree Kay

(Aubrey Kay)

[Yavanna Basham]

Playing hooky from work today. (Actually, I'm not feeling well at all, and had to have my mom pick me up from work and bring me home.) Anyway, My name is soooo easy to pronounce, but you would'nt believe how many people misprounounce it. Lisa or Lee-sa then Bard. Very simple, but I've had people call me Liza or Leesha (Don't know where they get that one from.) I've had them say, Bird, Baerd, or Board for my last name. sometimes even beard *shivers* But I better get done here, and go back to bed. (Feeling really yucky again.) /sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> bye everybody!
