Fursona Pronunciation

Sam Wamm

I'm a goat plushie
Sam is actually pronounced "sam-uh".

Wamm is pronounced "wham".

Ku is pronounced like 'ca' in 'calamity'. Chi is pronounced like 'dge' in 'bridge'. A and N are only slightly pronounced, almost silent.

Akuchin is 2 sylables, a-kuchin.

-

also it's my real name.
 

EmpressCiela

The Empress has Returned
Cēèla/Ciela (see-EH-La)
 

Simo

Professional Watermelon Farmer
For instance, I'll start. My fursona's really pronounced "MOM-bee" (like "mommy" & daddy),
but others read it incorrectly sometimes as "MAHM-bee" (like "Bambi", the deer from Disney)

Er..um...being a skunk, I have to admit I did think Mambi was pronounced as if it rhymed with Bambi :p

Toger = tiger, but with an "o".

Most people in the furry fandom get it right, it's those outside of it where I use the name that typically get it wrong. I often have people say it like "Roger", have even had some Brits say it's "todger" which supposedly means penis... But there's no "d" in the name so they're just being penis' themselves when they do that. :v

I've had just about as much if not more trouble with my current username. Once in a blue moon I find someone who can get it right first try. The first part is easy, it's the "nare" part people can't figure out. Won't spoil that one for you kiddos. ;3 I kinda like that it's difficult and even more I like finding those special people in the world who just seem to know.
 

L.Rey

Discord is Dote#6696
Yeah, I also thought your name was pronounced like Bambi. An inevitably small price to pay for an uncommon name, though I do admire everyone's creativity. Least we can't actually HEAR ourselves pronounce each other's names.

On a related note:

L.Rey = Lucas Reyes (lou-cus Ray-es)
Or just Luke for short. My username is actually a little "easter egg". If you pronounce it "el-ray" as intended, "el rey" is actually "the king" in Spanish. Just a little something I did for fun. I assure you all, I'm the king of nothing. =P
 

Tytysi

Legendary Shaman
Tytysi - “Tie-Tie-See”

Bishek - “Bih-Sheck”

My username on most games is Tytysi as well, so you can imagine the pronunciations I’ve been met with... most common and most annoyingly is “Titties”...

Just a guess: kih-NAR-eh, or something along those lines?

If so, it's sort of similar to mine, koo-MAH-lee (rhymes with Denali, which seems appropriate for an Arctic wolf).

If I guessed wrong, well, then...I guess it's not so similar. :)

Waow, you actually got it first try. o: I am an impressed catto. Normally I get Kin-air, Kin-arr, Kin-ary, or Canary if they're tryin'a be funny... It's actually 3 Japanese words smashed together. The way they pronounce it is how I chose to keep it and it's hard for some folks to get because it's not apparently foreign looking.
 

Jackpot Raccuki

Vibing Raccuki
I’ll add some characters coz my fursona’s name is obvious.

Jackpot - Jack-pot. (Basically how you’d say Jackpot but the name does not translate to other languages.)
Like - Like (similar to Jackpot’s)
Xavavious - Haha you fools thought I’d leak his pronunciation!
Gridix - Grid-its
Klaubern - Klau - burn. (Like saying klaus but without the S.)
 
B

Bababooey

Guest
Fursona: Asher Briggs (pronounced: ash-err brr-iggz)
Username: Chomby (pronounced: chahm-bee)

Probably obvious for most. Lol

Literally the same as "tonic".
 

Rassah

Well-Known Member
I find some people put the accent on the second a as Rassàh, but it's actually on the first a as in Ràssah. Just a simple flow off the tongue with a silent H. Yeah, I don't know why I made up a nickname with a silent H...
 

Mambi

Fun loving kitty cat
Bumping it back to accommodate some new members...anyone else want to say how they say their fursona name? See the first originating message for instructions.
 

Vishunei

Lamenting Lynx
(Vee-shoo-nee)

People naturally assume the last syllabe is pronounced "nay/neigh", which does become annoying.
