Zaikesman's Username Pronunciation Field Guide

At least you all were 'wise' enough to chose an user name! In my usual haste, I overlooked that I could change the default name they (Audiogon) gave me based on my e-mail address. (The M after Brian is the first letter of last name.)

Yea but how do you pronounce "nrchy?"

I always thought Jeff's last name was Loistarca. I thought it was Spanish.

My last name, Dautch, rhymes with "couch." People on and off AudiogoN get that wrong all the time. And I apologize, Zaikes, for mispronouncing your name in my head when I read your posts!

A rose by any other name.....well, you know.

Like Wojciehowicz on Barney Miller, mine is pronounced just like it's spelled.

Anyway, there are four members in my nuclear (pronounced NOOK-lee-er) family and we are all New York Yankee fans (shielding my head and shoulders from raining blows). 4yanx is also the license plate number of one of my cars because, surprisingly, 4yanks was already taken. Thus the "x" in place of the "ks". I hesitate to post this given the illogical nature of sports fan rivalries, but better risking that than leaving up in the air the more lurid connotations of "yanx" about which I've been asked and about which it would take many more than four... :-)

Besides, is there a more commonly boring name than David?

David
