How do you read or pronounce certain forum names?

I know H.A.A.R.P is prolly pronounced letter by letter, but I just call him "Harp". GM3PRP I say as either "GM3" or "GM3PRO".

I know my name is always pronounced differently...any names you think you say the way they weren't intended?

Somewhere in an obstinate corner in the back of my mind, I Like Verin is still Eelie Kev'rin, as I read it at first.
No more Lies got called Nomo so much that some people eventually misread the name as Nomo Relies.

I'm saddened that no one has attempted a phonic interpretation of my moniker.

Opie

That's just my initials.  Opebo is pronounced (by my proclamation) oh-PEE-boh.

Interesting that for two such whitebread guys, MODU, we both have names that sound like they come from the Niger delta.

hahaha . . . well, the question is how do "I" read the names, now how they are actually pronounced.  Tongue  But yeah, many of the names on here seem strange considering the users.  And then when people start switching up their names on a weekly basis, I just get totally confused.  HAHAHA

PiT: Pit
phknrocket: I always get the k and the n around the wrong way and it ends up "funk rocket"
Jmfsct: Jimfest
Xahar: Zay-har or Zahar (rhyming with the exclamation "ah ha!")
my fellow Australian, Hughento: Hugh (pronounced "hyu") En Toe.
