    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!

    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

    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

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

    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...

    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

    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'm trying to figure out what your original name was before you became a Nobody and joined Organization XIII.
