Re: OT How do you pronounce your name?
Certainly they know something the rest of the world doesn't - their own language :-). It has to be said though that our own good friend Jostein has most puzzling name to a non-Nordic ear. Apparently Norwegian language has more actual vowels than Russian which in turn has more of them than Hebrew. Thus as far as I can tell, my way of saying his name out loud is rather bad approximation. Although I tend to believe that Americans do it even worse, as he's certainly not Justine... My way is Yoo-st-eye-n which is likely wrong at least at the first vowel... Teaching a Brit or an American to say certain sequences of consonant and a following vowel from Russian language can be quite a challenge. That person who decided to build a tower of Babel ought to have been flogged :-).

Simple question difficult answer, if you know how to pronounce Antoinette, Toine should be easy. Twone maybe. My last name Kuiper is difficult.

Re: OT How do you pronounce your name?
Oh, I should have mentioned Bong (my spiel on Pedro is boring; you don't know me by that name anyway). It is pronounce bong and it doesn't really mean anything. I come from a country with door-bell names. Bang (usually a girl), Bong (usually a boy--a junior...more on that later), Bing (girl) and Beng (girl); there are Dang (girl), Dong (boy), Ding (boy again), Deng (girl) but no Dung (that could lead to poo jokes). But the latter is understated because we do have nicknames which means something else in another dialect (Epot is a short for April in Cebuano but means poo is Tagalog). Bong is a nickname for juniors (I'm Pedro Manayon Jr.); google the former dictator Ferdinand Marcos and he has a son, Ferdinand Jr., who is known as Bong Bong. That is common in the Visayan region (my dad and the wife of Marcos came from that region); up north it is Jun. Doubling the name (Jun Jun) just adds to its cuteness factor. Yeah, we have no problem here with cute names--like I have a cousin named Baby Boy or Babes; I know folks named Cherry Pie and other names that you would have you teased out of American high schools. Our current president (Benigno Aquino III) goes by his nickname Noy-Noy which can mean little boy. His dad, martyred by Marcos was known as Ninoy... We also follow popular trends and personalities, so I know quite a number of ladies (my age) born in the early 1960s named Marilyn or for that matter Diana in the early 1980s. I wonder why? :-) Usually we are given really formal sounding names in our birth certificate (my name is Miguel Edward Z. Rodriguez, but you can call me 'Boy' for short...) but its rare that we move through life with it except to sign some formal or legal documents. We usually are known here for our cutesy nicknames which essentially should be our real names anyway...

Re: OT How do you pronounce your name?
Since I already tried to explain this to Boris prior to my visit to Israel, I'll just past what I told him at that time: Jaume is a Catalan name, that in Spanish is Jaime, James in English, Jacques in French, Giacomo in Italian...Actually, my offical name (as in Passport and Spanish ID) is Jaime, since Catalan was forbiden for official use when I was born (we had a dictatorship at that time), and I never bothered to change it. For some reason I always thought that English speakers would pronounce better Jaume than Jaime, since the J sounds as in James and for Jaime it sounds like in Javier Bardem. But it seems that the 'au' combination fools a lot and they never know how to approach to it.

Re: OT How do you pronounce your name?
Pronounced John ... except by my Latino friends who pronounce it Hwan. And then there was that cute little French exchange student who sat behind me in English class my last year in High School. I can't even begin to reproduce the way she pronounced it, but it was MUSIC! Last name is pronounced Ses-ums; both short vowel sounds. But, ... as long as you don't call me late for dinner, etc. - No virus found in this message.

Re: OT How do you pronounce your name?
From: Bong Manayon Usually we are given really formal sounding names in our birth certificate (my name is Miguel Edward Z. Rodriguez, but you can call me 'Boy' for short...) but its rare that we move through life with it except to sign some formal or legal documents. We usually are known here for our cutesy nicknames which essentially should be our real names anyway... I do know someone from back where I grew up whose given name on his birth certificate is Boy, and that's the name he's always gone by. That's what the hospital fills in on the form until the parents decide on a name. Apparently his parents never did. - No virus found in this message.

Re: OT How do you pronounce your name?
Ok, I'll play and I'll give the derivation the at the same time. All as in Albert or Allen, ing as the word ending. It is a made up name, but much older that Ellis Island. I've heard two different derivations. Either a modification of the name Allen, or a shortening of the name Allingworth. The first recording of the name is in New Haven Connecticut in sometime in the 1640's. The family ledgend has it that Roger being a good Puritan didn't want to be associated with his Church of England relatives. Personally I like to think he was an escaping horse thief, it's the romantic in me.

William is a pretty standard pronunciation, but in typical Scots fashion, the last name gets mispronounced by non Gaelic speakers. It's pronounced MacFarlane.

Re: OT How do you pronounce your name?
You want us to explain pronunciation in writing? It is like explaining a helical line sitting on your hands, unless you know the international phonetic alphabet (which I don´t .-) My first name is pronounces almost like Doug, except that you exchange ´ou´with the ´a´ from the English word are. In Thrane you first have to forget about the ´h´ (which is also the case in the Norwegian pronunciation) and start with an ordinary ´t´, then you need a Norwegian rolling ´r´ and the same ´a´ as before, the ´n´ is uncontroversial but ´e´is like the one in they. :-) Den 20. juli 2011 kl. 23.57 skrev Larry Colen: We've got people from a wide range of cultures on this list, and there are a lot of folks with names that I can only guess at the pronunciation.
