We exchanged greetings. I said I was <em>Greenroofer</em> on the forum, and he said he was <em>YouBruce</em>.</p> <p>I walked away from the conversation thinking 'You're not YouBruce. I've always known you in my mind as <em>Ooberoochay</em>' (think Liberace).</p> <p>Some names on the forum are obvious: you can't go far wrong with <em>Dave</em>, and I assume <em>DaveC</em> isn't pronounced <em>Day-veck</em>. I assume too that <em>SRD</em> doesn't favour the pronunciation <em>Surd</em> over <em>Ess-Are-Dee</em>. Similarly, I assume it's <em>Ant</em>, and not <em>An-th</em>. </p> <p>For a long time I thought we had someone called <em>Ree-com-bod-na</em> on the forum, and in fact I still favour that rendering.</p> <p>I've frankly no idea what sounds to make for <em>Bhachgen</em>.</p> <p>Am I alone in this, or do we need a guide where the owners of potentially confusing pronunciations give a definitive view on how they like to be known?</p> <p>...or does that spoil the fun? </p>
