Name pronunciation (split from Avatars)

mr_michel said:
i guess im get the names extra wrong, since my natural language is spanish, when i read the names i usually pronounce in my head the letters as in spanish, unless its some words or names im familiar with in english.

for example if i read gen, i think of it in the same way english speakers would pronounce hen
or usually in spanish i would pronounce martin as martín (marking the I) since thats the spanish version, but since im kinda familiar with the pronunciation in english i simply though of it as plain martin (sligthly marking the A).


Aww, geez, I just pronounced my screenname with spanish phonetics, and boy! does that mess it up!! LOL!!
