When I read a username, I pronounce it in my head (as nearly all of you, I'm sure, do), and I'm just curious to see if some of you have different intended pronunciations.

Mine is 'jay-em-nihk-sun-ninety-five'
(Last name is pronounced just like that of the US President, Richard Milhous Nixon)

^^ Yaye greetings jmnixon95. I believe that, when reading my happy name, the pixies read "Toh-mah-soo".

EDIT: ^^ Oh dear, I am very sorry if I was horrible. I believe that everyone may pronounce my happy name as they wish,

Whenever I saw your username, I always read it as "Jim Nixon", even though I knew better. :lol:

Anyway, my username is pronounced day-cart. It's French.

'Mack-tell' (that's how the real McTell pronounced it in his song Mr. McTell got the blues).

Interesting. I thought it might have been of Japanese origin, and it would be pronounced 'Too-mahs' (as close as I can spell it out phonetically; kind of like 'Thomas'). That's how I pronounce it when I read it. XD

^^Yaaye thankee jmnixon95, I am very sorry for being confusing. ^^ I believe that I did indeedy intend for my happy name to typed within the Japanese romaji writing system and may indeed be pronounced as you have stated. ^^ I believe within my head, the pixies pronounce the happy "oo" section only a very small amount.

I hope you don't mind my saying so, Tomasu, but whenever I read your posts I find myself thinking that you appear to be a very nice and lovable person. Many of the things you say sound so very cute that they make me smile.

As to my username, it's simply pronounced like the English words its made up of.
