Most will see it at Kwan-toe

But it’s actually pronounced as Chian-tow which translate to Fist in chinese.

basically everyone in a voice chat will be saying it wrong unless i tell them.

Sock-full-a-fel is simple enough
 I’m blanking on the food thing though.

My name is pretty simple. I’ve a couple of times been called Hexx, and I had to tell them that I am NOT a female troll, I am NOT vile nor am I a priestess, and I do NOT live in the Hinterlands.

Sock Falafel

It is Hamstar pronounced with an X.

Oh, of course, falafel. We don’t have those where I’m from. Really wish we did because they sound delicious

I’ve had someone call this toon Tee-a-vora instead of Tie-vora. It was weird because I’ve never had an issue with this name before. I try to make all of my names easy to pronounce because I had one name that was constantly mispronounced back in the day, and it bothered me.

Mines pretty easy so have yet to have a fail on it. :slight_smile: Most of my characters are easy to say and leave little open for mistake.

Oops
 I’ve been mentally pronouncing it Koo-zie

Not sure if it counts, but people keep shortening my name to Fox.

I kinda like it though!

Evern after reading this I’m seeing your name as Tay Vora.

Everyone does this, I’m Sock to all my guildies.

Your name would actually be pronounced:

Fath AY r (as in a long “a”)

An Ă© (e with an acute accent) is always pronounced the same way. So what way is that? Many books and websites will tell you that “ Ă© ” is pronounced like the English “ay”, as in “say” or “way”.

It is actually kind of hard to say it that way, but if they did they would be correct. If I was in voice chat with you, I would continually pronounce it that way to “be correct” and also to “really irritate you.”

In game, people usually just call me/Kylathia and Kybeorie “Ky” as in “keye.”

Tai is more the Japanese pronunciation influence. ai = eye But Tay is better than Tee-ah. I was confused when the RL said it (from my friend’s guild). My old guildies called me Tai (Tie).

55

For some reason i read your name as Koopykins.

Darn! That would have seemed cuter. At the time I was just trying to stick with the beginning “Ky”, that my elves had, so people in that guild would know me easier.

57

Some people called me “Raze” or “Rays”.

I tell them it’s “R-A-Z - AH”.

58

For reference, I have always said my char’s name with the A sounding like apple.
Pass-iss, if you will.

A lot of people say Pay-sis, which is fine, and probably actually more correct given how it’s spelled. I have also had Puh-SEESS, Pay-seyes, Paris, Oasis, and I’m sure some others that I’ve since forgotten.

59

There is a character in paper mario named Koopie Koo. and Koopykins was the first thing that popped into my head when i saw your name.

Someone asked me once where Paladin B was, I thought that was pretty funny and it is somewhat related. :rofl:
