I think it's pronounced Enya, Hope. Although, Ethnee can always come and put me right if I've been pronouncing it incorrectly

It actually is, my dad used to call us 'little miss _name_' when we were kids but my little sister always said ickle instead of little and it stuck through our childhoods.

It should be Enya but my mum in her infinite wisdom decided that the phonetic pronunciation would be easier on me (also the reason that Enya spells it as Enya now)

It is Eth-ne as in Ethel and Never but Eth-nuh is close enough

I HATE Eyethknee, EEEEthknee and all the other random ways to say my name but have learned to live with it. The other workers at the shelter have great fun emailing peeps to ask for me when they come in

icklemiss21 is always "istmas" to me, like the end of christmas. And also, I dont know why but kluchetta is always "clutchman" I have no clue why it just got stuck in my mind that way.

Mr. Blanche...and I only learned different just now. Of course, I always read the name Pheobe as "Phobe", until Friends came on the air and I learned how to pronounce it. I used to think "why would someone want to name their child Phobe?"

when I see icklemiss21 I think of my husbands moms cat

My husbands mom has a cat named little miss. She took in Little Miss as a very small kitten. She lost her Mama to a car or something and his mom took it in and bottle fed it. Well that cat doesn't really clean it self we think it is cause it never learned from its mama so it gets kinda dirty.

SO I when ever I see that name icklemiss21: I think Ick Little Miss

She is a great cat just a little dirty.

Trapped in the catroom! ;o)
I was searching for something and found this thread and I can not resist a revival of a funny thread. Since there are so many new people since this was done I hope others chime in.

mrblanche will always be Mr. Blanche

Winchester isnt a mispronoucing however when I say it inside my head I picture Dean saying it in that grumbly voice of his. LOL

LDG is actually LBG in my head.

TaraandRob is said really really really really fast like a blur of a word.

Cheylink is like shaylink with a nice finger snap like heeeyyy

I know theres more that stick out in my head but I have to see the names to remember.

Mike has always been Mister Blanche


What gets me is that I use my real name and in person, hardly anybody gets it right, even after I say it to them.
It's not like it's difficult.

Arlyn -R Lin

I have a few friends that can only say it as two words lol

All of the above!

I KNOW the "mr" in "mrblanche" are Mike's initials - but sorry! It's still Mr. Blanche.


And I have NO idea why, but whenever I see Catkiki, I think "Cat Tiki." and I have this image of cats under a tiki hut.


Oh - the TCS Secret-Santa people will like this one.
My4LLMA - though I know the LLM is the initials of her kitties, I still think "My 4 Llamas" every time I see her username.


Oh - and xLaydeexTaniax I always think of as "x Lady x Tania x"

I don't really see how anyone can mispronounce your name.
