Hey this is gonna sound like an odd request but can everyone respond with how to pronounce your username properly?

As in mine would be (Letter) S (Letter) M Gold one"oh"one. Mine was a bad example because its easy to say haha but some pples usernames are not so easy!
 
In buddhuu the first u is pronounced like the "oo" in "wood" and the second u like the oo in "food". So, it's kind of "boodhoo" or "boodoo".

That's near enough. It's a Hindi word (meaning "idiot"), and to describe the pronunciation properly would take more explanation than anyone wants to read.

Oh, and I added an extra u at the end in honour of UU! :D The word is usually transliterated as "buddhu".
 
Ukulele like the instrument, Hill like the not a mound or a mountain... But a hill! :)
 
Mine's pronounced phonetically, basically. So "Vin" as you'd imagine it, rhyming with "pin", "del", like Dell laptops, and "landa" rhyming with "panda".
 
Mine is pronounced "baby carrots". It's a long story that many here have heard already so I won't repeat it...
 
I know i shouldn't ...but...

"Uncle Rod Higuchi" (hee-goo-chee), slight accent on second syllable, OK?
 
K is my first initial of first name. Metzger is my last name. Pronounced like NY Mets plus grrrr - like a dog growl. Mets-grrrrr.
 
That's an easy one Rod..............Howie
 
Mine is like Shoe bs
 
Ummm . . .

Old, as in "old"

Bird, as in "bird"


Whew! That was a lot of work! ;)

DOC-troid.

(That was too easy, so I'll give you the not-especially-interesting explanation. Years and years ago on another online forum -- a Usenet group actually -- there was a woman posting somewhat bizarre stuff under the name of Doctress Neutopia. She had a doctorate but didn't want to be called Doctor because she felt it undermined her gender identity... or something. By way of parody I started calling myself Doctroid. The Doctress is long gone, at least from that forum, but "Doctroid" stuck.)

(And I do have a doctorate, in experimental particle physics. Excuse me, I mean a doctroidate.)

(So my blog is called Doctroidal Dissertations.)

(There.)
