Name Mispronunciations

[ShadowJay]

My name is Jaden, which no one really mispronounces. However, I did have one supply teacher who pronounced my name "Yah-den", which my friends make fun of me for to this day.

Reading 'j' to mean the 'y' sound is common in Nordic languages. Was the teacher Swedish? :p

Not going to lie Xanthe, up until about two years ago I thought it was pronounced 'ex-anth', and apparently I'm still getting it wrong because up until now I thought it was 'zanth'. You've got the coolest looking name though!!!

Found out!!! Haha that's okay! I actually love when people mispronounce it. xD But we've never voice chatted, have we?! O:!

My name is Corey, which is pretty straight forward. No one ever says it wrong, but I do get frequent misspellings. I don't remember how I used to pronounce your name, Xanthe, as I've known you for so long!

Yeah, it is definitely one of those names that you could spell a number of ways. Haha, I don't either! I think on Pe2k I rarely went by Xanthe, so most people called me Grace or Suicune until we did the voice interviews, when I would have pronounced my name around you. x) I still remember your cute accent. It was back when Fairies didn't exist. Maybe I should upload them all again! XD Probably not. Omg I'm listening to it now. (OH! You say that you said "ex-ANTH" xD)

Me: "Do you have a favourite type?"

You: "FIRE TYPE."

Oh, how little Corey had no clue...

oh i'm foregin! i'll give you a mean look if you laugh at me when i mispronounce something, which i will. a lot. that does include names. 90% of all pokemon. and thick American Accents. never had an issue with British or Australian tho.. yet anyway.

I imagine your accent would be similar to a Swedish accent, and I do have a Swedish friend who pronounces things pretty well but I'll let him know when it's incorrect, haha. But I wouldn't laugh. <3

Haha I thought that was how it was pronounced too! Until I was talking to Jacob one day and he said "Xanthe" properly and I was like OH! xD

I love your name though, Xanthe. It's really cool :)

No one mispronounces my name. :P

LOL, fair enough. It's not an easy one to know how to pronounce BUT NOW THAT SOME LADY STOLE MY NAME ON NEIGHBOURS... Everyone's going to know how to pronounce it! :<

Yah-den! XD I like that. A little kid once thought I said my name was "yeb-ree."

We haven't! Seeing as you love it so much, I'm going to keep calling you 'zanth'. ;)

I believe I pronounced Xerneas as "EX-ur-NE-us" as well (at last, prior to they gave us the official pronunciations).

Little did I know that Faries would consume my life...my entire BEING...and that I would eventually BECOME ONE. I mean think - "Fairy" is a derogatory term to describe a gay man. Fairies are revealed 2013. Less than a year later, I realize I'm gay!!!111!!!!one11!!!111!

AND YOU THINK MY ACCENT IS CUTE?!?! I barely have an accent! A lot of people from where I live literally sound like this:

LOL. I know the ex-feels, so I didn't pronounce it like that. XD And lol, emphasising the NE is so odd when I do it! xD

Omg. xD You're hilarious. POKEMON DEFINITELY HELPED YOU REALISE.

I do! xD Yes, you do have an accent. lolololol at that video! But nah, everyone has an accent. I have an accent. c: You do, Obama does, the queen does, etc.
