Hehe

Rah' mes

NOT like "James" - I react absolutely allergic on this
It has TWO syllables and not one. Oh and the stress is on the first syllable, I am NOT French or such. and it is also NOT "Raymes" - this is even worse than the "James"-alike

(TOBNEW and proud of it)

and..
Teeks - is pronounced as 'Teeks'. /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

My first name:
Tiana
Ti (pronounced like tee) ana (pronounced like on aexcept its one word, ona)
Put it together and it's tee-ona

My middle name
Hyacinth
Hy (pronounced like hi) a (like a) cinth (like the begining of the name cynthia, sinth)
It's just like the flower hi-a-sinth

My last name:

My whole name would be tee-ona hi-a-sinth more, or more acurrately, Tiana Hyacinth Moore.

Post by **Emerald Tippet** » Wed Dec 31, 2003 7:08 pm

Well the English way is you just sound it out.
Em-r-eld Tip-et

But it is really pronouced...
Em-ur-ald (theres ephesis on the "a" to the "L" making the a flow to the "ld") The "r" is also rolled.
Tip-ae (This one is a little more simplier because because the "et" is just pronouced as "ae" as in the "a" sound in "ate")

So basically.. Emerald Tippet is actually...
Em-urrr (back roll)-ald Tip-ae

*laughs* Yeah you should see my real last name... Its french (well of course) and its soo long and theres all these pronoucations with it, its funny. Then theres also my first name, its not french but its greek and people also mix it up with Placenta, La senza, Jacinta, Ysinta, Ginsinta... and yes it gets annoying... exspecially the Placenta. *laughs* Oh yeah and my first name is Jacenta. /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> I seroiusly don't know how people get my name mixed up. /huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh:" border="0" alt="huh.gif" />

ha ok just doing this for clarification:

shana [sh-anne-nuh]
brayden [breigh-dn] - the 2nd syllable is kinda unstressed
addroddyn [add-drough-din] - kinda rush through the first 2 syllables
