How do you pronounce your username?

Kay-Pod (the 2nd half like what you’d call a pack of dolphins or orcas). It goes way back to high school when I really liked the band P.O.D.

Great question, I hadn’t really thought about it, but every time I log into a website it sounds like ‘equisequis’ (two times the word for “X” in Spanish) in my head, the rest being silent.

My name is “Steelix” spelled backwards, but the ‘R’ is silent. :laughing:
Z-eye-leets

Not Z-il-eets like :leafy_green: Dyl-eats

I used to use “Plague” when playing in tourneys, so it would say “Hamhands069 was killed by Plague”. but then someone else took my name. I tried Bio Hazard, but it didn’t sit right for me, and then I started using Xileets. No one could pronounce it and it became an inside joke, so I kept it. Plus steelix was the coolest steel type… maybe still?..

As a finn i will continue to read them all exactly how they are written.

And regarding my username, i’m not sure how native english speakers tend to say it but i would guess a name starting with J can have some issues since it’s:

yo-pon-nes

Starting with yo, double-n in the middle and ending with nes as how you would say nest. I also don’t understand why so many people try to write it “japonnes” but i guess some people connect it with japanese?

What I want to know is what you guys would pronounce mine as before I reveal.

I guess similar to crystal, but with the st being replaced with nd? So Krin-dahl?

Although I guess Cry ‘n’ dèl (the ‘n’ being &) is another option? :thinking:

I never actually considered people would read my username as one word but its wools-l-u-k. Cont even remember how it came about i think ebay just suggested it when i signed up potentially but its basically just the first 4 letters of my last name and first 3 of my first
