Whenever Ixchilgal says something, I always wonder how he pronounces his name. So, how does everyone pronounce their names? Mine:

Gerald
JH EH R AH L D

Shiri2005-04-10 14:59:03
IX-jil-gal. It looks worse than it is, I think. (The ch and j are very similar, and that's just my lazy pronouncing.)

NEY-jee here. I'm sure there's better ways of writing that phonetically, but I don't know them.

(And it's SHEE-ree, not shy-ree or whatever else I've been called before. huh.gif)

Just wanted to let you know that Shiri means "butt" in Japanese.

Always thought it was nehj-eye, and shi-ree with the i as pronounced in shin. Meh.

Manj-an-eye-ya. And Feros is just feh-ross.

Yeah, I get that a lot, but that doesn't roll off the tongue as well, and I'm all for lazy pronounciation. I even type my lazy pronounciation. rolleyes.gif

If 'Shiri' means 'butt' shouldn't it be censored? wink.gif
