Name Mispronunciations

[Suicune's Fire]

I have a weird irl name. Xanthe. I get many mispronunciations. Do you?! If so, post them here. You can also post weird username pronunciations, too, or any other names you go by! Or names of others that YOU have mispronounced!

I had a friend who used to say Suicune as 'swin-see'. -_- Clearly no reading skills.

You say my name as: ZAN-thee. The th sound is like in 'booth.' Not a hard th like 'this.' These are the mispronunciations I've heard:

egg-ZAN-thee
ex-AN-thee (sort of the same as above, but w/e)
ex-AN-thee-ah
ex-ANTH
KSS-an-thee
ANN-thee
ANN-thee-ah
ZAN-thee-ah
zanth
ZAH-neth (...)
ZAY-neth ( @Noblejanobii...)
ZAN-thuh (hard th, like 'this')


You? xD

[Noblejanobii]

I personally think Zayneth is way better. XD

So my name, Sloane, is pronounced with an S like a snake his, then the word loan. S-loan. The E itself is silent. However, I do get a lot of common misconceptions.
-Sa-loan (throwing an extra a in there)
-Sloanee (adding a long e sound)
-Sloanay

That's all I can think of off the top my head. My middle name suffers too though since it has a silent H and it's a parody of another very common name so people tend to get them confused.

I INSPIRED THIS.

Oh @Suicune's Fire I totally said your name as Zanth when I first met you. I HAD NO IDEA THE E WAS A THING. xD I'd never heard that name before!

Anyway, most of you know my name is Gemma. It's not that hard to pronounce, right? WRONG. SO WRONG. I have had some annoying mispronunciations over the times. Though, granted, not as bad as Xanthe's. xD I'll also throw misspelling in here just cause that pisses me off too.

Misspellings:
Jemma
Jenna
Emma
Jema

Mispronunciations: Sorta similar to above
JEH-nah
GEH-mah (A HARD G - I KID YOU NOT)

You don't even want me to start on my surname...

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

[Suicune's Fire]

Well, Gemma, Xanth is one of the less "how the heck did you get that out of my name" ones. XD Oh, Noble. You're funneh. I'd have thought Sloane was extremely straightforward...also Gemma. Some people baffle me. XD
