We've had threads like this before, but it's always fun. Some members names defy pronunciation, and some you just get in the habit of mispronouncing in your head. How do you mispronounce other member's names?

Here are a couple of mine:

psjauntie in my mind is "P.S. Jaunty"

skippymjp is inexplicably "Skippy Jump"

sillyitaliangrl is somehow "Silly Tillia Girl"

I'm sure I have more...what are yours?

I think PS Jaunty as well - I guess that isn't right


I read "snosrap5" as "snozz-rap 5"

There's also someone whose name I read horrendously wrong every time, but I'm having a mental blank on the username. I'll let you know when I find it...

No, no, no -- not like boot, but like foot! A fine distinction...

And KK, I do the peanut-butter thin in my head, too!


Since I avoid IMO like the plague, I rarely encounter her, but I know there's someone whose name is a jumble of consonants that I pronounce "Clucklebuv."

She hasn't been around for a bit, but I always said Phenomenal for Phenomsmom

and I occasionally include the x in xLaydeexTaniax so it sounds like Lay-deeks-Tan-e-aks all in one word

I say snosrap5 as snow-srap but no idea if that is right

And that remains true no matter how often I say I'm "Mike," and MR are my initials, not my title.

Ah, but screen names can be so interesting. I'm know as "Tub T" many places.

And even though I know that those are your initials, I cannot get it right. Ever.

I now read MRBlanche as Mike.
It did take some serious effort to retrain my brain though.

And valanhb comes out in my head as VanalB

I can't think of any offhand from here, but I belong to another message board and one of the members has the username Tribrats. I always say it in my head like "Trib-rats" but it's really supposed to be Tri-brats.

I guess I think of "Trib" because my brother used to work for the "Trib" aka the Chicago Tribune and the rats because I have pet rats...

Everytime I see that I think of "Van Halen"!


What about avatars? Do they mess with your head too? For some reason I picture HopeHacker looking like Paul Stanley. Everytime I hear a KISS song, I think of her (seriously!)

. it's Fast NOC. (Fast Knock)

NOC stands for Network Operations Center. it's a company i own. For consulting. I should have made my username FastNOC which is accurate.
