People keep mispronouncing my name, so how would you pronounce it. Just out of interest.

Note: "Myrth" Will not be an option

I would go with a french pronunciation, hence a silent h. That would make it D'omme [Domm].

dOm. French pronunciation, with the D practically mute.

Me, too

I was waiting for that. Tch, nothing will ever quell my wrath

Err close i was thinking Dumb Homo.

Sort of French - the same as "D'homme" would be pronounced in Frankreich.

Err close i was thinking Dumb Homo.
I was thinking more along the other two words beginning with D and H.

I was thinking more along the other two words beginning with D and H.

Yeah, pretty much.

Pronounce it "poettarrarorincoaroac." That's what I'd do. Oh, right...

I wish I knew how to pronounce my name

I wish I knew how to pronounce my name
i pronounce it fin- dec-arno ca-la-la-la-len

this is how I automatically seem to consider your name to be pronounced, expressed in the X-SAMPA varient of the IPA:

/DQ:m/

that is....

D = equal to English voiced "th" sound in "the" or "they" etc
Q = equal to British English "o" sound in "hot"
: = indicates a long vowel
m = same as English, an "m" sound as in "mouse", or indeed French "homme"

i pronounce it fin- dec-arno ca-la-la-la-len
close enough :)

close enough :)

Is it fin-deck-ar-no Cal-ay-en?

Is it fin-deck-ar-no Cal-ay-en?
Im not sure its my real name jammed into one of those elven name generators, minus all the apostrophes

Dumb.

As in, "He is so DHomme."

(not intended as a flame - but you asked for a silly answer)

You should pronounce your name however you want to pronounce it. Why care what everyone else thinks about it? :rolleyes:

An-tie-lih-bur-tare-ee-uhn.

Or "Dum" as in a French similarity, "d'homme(s)", used in phrases such as "j'ai besoin d'hommes."

And anyway it's not that much of a big deal.

Call yourself what ever you like, It's only going on your tombstone :sniper:

Call yourself what ever you like, It's only going on your tombstone :sniper:somehow i doubt 'DHomme' will be going on his tombstone

That's what I was thinking.

how do you say my name...

how do you say my name...
(silent-H) Ly-nur

Blend the D and H to make a J, thus pronouncing it "Jome". Why?

...To mess with people...

If people say that then they are saying soft in my language...

I would go with a french pronunciation, hence a silent h. That would make it D'omme [Domm].

This is what I was thinking. However, from this point on, I'm going to pronounce your name, "Da Homie." Yo.

DHomme.... I would guess either Duh-Hom or Duh-Om (As opposed to Dome).

On a side note... I think I will try to see how many people can pronounce my actual last name.

I would go with a french pronunciation, hence a silent h. That would make it D'omme [Domm].

Same here.

Day Homie!

None of the above, i would go with the French pronunciation
D'om

None of the above, i would go with the French pronunciation
D'om

So would i now... but i voted for Duh-hom... oh well

Dawm. Like Dawn with an 'm'.

Dome-E
