So, there are many names here that I have no idea on how their name is pronounced. Post here and tell us. And include if there is supposed to seperate words, etc.

To start of my name is pronounced Jee- Bells- te!

This is touching on a different topic that was here a while ago, but I'm actually curious what your name means as well gbelste.

ЧЕТЫРЕ. It's pronounced kinda like shu-terre. Kinda.

silver, like the color, + ling.

it doesn't mean anything really. it's just sort of cute. Chetter, on the other hand, means "Four." And I pronounce it "Scott."

Just like it looks.
(It's from the end of a Todd Rundgren album title; I grabbed hold of the idea when I joined LJ and haven't let go since.)

I've been saying chetyre and gbelstes name wrong the entire time :x. I thought it was Ger-bell-st, and Chet-Yeh-Reh. Now i'll know how to say them properly.

My name is pronounced the same way as the Birch tree. plus the number 2-6-2 not two-hundred and sixty two. :P

I suppose I did forget to mention that--my name does mean "four". How I picked it is an uninteresting story, but suffice to say it looks cool and is rarely taken on sites I sign up on.

My name means "trippy avatar". Just kidding. :P

The G is the first letter of my name, and bell is my middle name, and the ste come from my last name. Its basically a muddled mixed up version of my full name.

@mmmpi: I thought it was as in 3.14 pi. Which reminded me of this "gangster rap" about pi...

The word nitwit and the number eighty-eight (not eight eight). The number choice was pretty random and I was called nitwit by one friend when I was younger (6 or 7 I think). I liked the name, so I made it a username.

I've been thinking everyone except chetyre's name right all along. Even gbelste. I'm thinking I should use sylverling's pronunciation of chetyre. I've been saying it as "chet-ir"

Mine is just like it looks as well Raccoon Nine. I'm surprised how often I hear it said like Raccoony.

Mine actually comes from what my school email was and a random comment one of my favorite professors made about it. He said it always reminded him of raccoon 9, which I liked, so I adopted.

I have actually been pronouncing gbelste's correctly (in my mind). I thought of chetyre like Chet tra, although that really makes no sense. :shrugs:

Mines Shy - is - car. But Y'all call me Shy anyways, so it hardly matters.

/me is responsible for the Chetter craze... it's only because he reminds me of cheese..

My name is "bunny-burn". Please remember that the 3 IS part of my name. And no you do not pronounce the 3. It's simply "bunny-burn"....and Bunni3 for short.
All those folks who call me "bunni" are spelling mah name wrong. :(

To pronounce it correctly, I would have to tear out your tongue.
