Alot of people pronounce my nickname wrong; they either say Segá-droid(With a short pause between the 2 parts of the word), Sechadroid(Almost like they're choking: Yes I'm looking at you, Holland! XD) or Sey-Gad-Roid(Yeah, that was just a server full of drunk people <.<)

It's pronounced 'Sega' and the word 'droid' spoken in one swift breath.

And how about you guys? Does your nicknames gets pronounced wrong? And how should it be pronounced?

the saki part is pronounced just like the later half of kawasaki or the Japanese rice wine, so just toss in a "v" and you got it.

I've got a friend who always pronounces my username Ska-bA-dus, but it's actually pronounced Sca-buh-dus.

Awkward, since I use the name in a few things and every so often I wonder who he's talking about.

Well, my username is a real English word. If you know English (which you should if you're reading this forum) then you should know how to pronounce it.

Fraw-t. That's how to pronounce it.

It should be pronounced Crazy-Haircut-ninety-four, but since I am Swedish, I read the numbers in Swedish. So it becomes Crazy-Haircut-nittio-fyra.

EDIT: With name change, my new name is pronounced with light A (not a deep A) and the hangelsk is pronounced hengelsk, with no direct emphasis on the g.

I pronounce it, "Ur-ah-nuh" but I've heard it "Ear-ah-nah" and "Ear-ran-ah" or "Ur-ran-ah." Maybe I should just stick to what the talky versions of QFG say...

The swedish sounds better.
The Swedish always seems to sound better! :eek:

Mine is supposed to be in Irish, but I left out the little wee ´s, as they'd be too fiddly if logging in on another computer. So, if it was spelt properly you'd say "shay-mus oh tore-oin"

When I originally thought it up I was going for Rh-ain, but since then I've heard quite a few versions of it, Ryan being the most common.

I tend to pronounce it just as Rain if I'm tired though.

I pronounce Aardvark like a combination of the Dutch word "aard" and the first vowel from "varken". Then you'll get something like Aahrt-fark-soup. I guess South-Africans would pronounce it about the same way.

People used to think my real name was Ron because of my nickname, but Sonicron is really supposed to be spoken as a single word; it's a name I made up for my player character in a forum RPG revolving around Transformers, so there's your clue as to the pronunciation (as in Omicron, Unicron, Galvatron etc).
The '86' part should be fairly straightforward :p (although I am German, so I read it as 'Sechsundachtzig').
