Hmm, I don't actually read or write all these funny symbols. Talk about an education.
It sounds a bit like "flow-ree-uhn", except that the "r" is pronounced the German way, further back in the throat rather than with the tongue.
Sounds like I was close, except I was a little short on the flow, and not german enough in the Ree. But I think I've got it now :)

Long story, but with my hair and facial features I can get away with it. As long as I've shaved recently (People have mistaken me for an underdevloped female). Plus I have an arse to DIE for.
Edit: And as that man in the carpark said "Come-to-bed eyes"

Yeah, it sucks having a name no English person can get right. Instant conversation starter. Pity that the conversation annoys the living shit out of me.
These days it's become "Flozza", which is great. Bogans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogan) love it.
Is that a somewhat common name in Germany? The guy who made the Wolf 3D editor I use was named that too.
Anyway, I'm Sean.

Fairly common, yeah. But that doesn't really help on the other side of the globe. People just abuse it horribly, and then it ends up being "Florynn" and I just end up saying "yeah, close enough" because I'm tired of explaining it.

Patron Saint of chimney Sweeps and Firefighters. Wow.
And was guessing the ian was pronounced "e in", as opposed to "eye an". Although ti's still better than "en" right?

I was about to say something like "Whoa, what a cool thread where you can see peoples gender"... but then I realized there's always.. special people..like you around. Tzz. What? Bob's not good enough for you?
Now I have to stop feeling special about knowing your name.. pity, that. Oh well, I'm still one of the select few who knows yours, so eh.
:eek:
Kanabia?
Is this Kanabia's puppet? Hehe. He denied that before.
It could be my puppet, you know? I know your name, too. :eek:

Hmm, I don't think you can reasonably expect them to get the actual German pronunciation right. But that's not soooo bad, is it? When I was in the US, nobody pronounced my name "in German", it was the English pronunciation all the way.
But if you don't demand German pronunciation and are just annoyed that they don't even halfway get it right even in English, why not just tell them it's pronounced like the DeLorean in the "Back to the Future" movies? It's the first thing that came to mind when trying to say it in English. :)
And you're a car buff, so yay. :p

You copied me!
What? Bob's not good enough for you?
Hey, I vene ditched your real name, so what do you guess my feelings on 'Bob' are?
Hehe. He denied that before.
It could be my puppet, you know? I know your name, too. :eek:
Seeing how Steel and Fire is mentioned as one of Czardas' puppets in his absence thread/post, I shall assume it is NOT Kanabia's. N00bs.

VUK
Gender: Masculine
Usage: Serbian
Other Scripts: Вук (Serbian)
Means "wolf" in Serbian.
and
DEJAN
Gender: Masculine
Usage: Serbian, Croatian, Slovene
Other Scripts: Дејан (Serbian)
Possibly derived from Slavic deja meaning "to do something, to act". Otherwise it may be related to Latin deus "god".
Boring I guess, I would have wanted something cooler, like.... Borislav, Gojko, or something. :(
