I have begun to read eromallagadnama's handle backwards. For that is what it must be: her name backwards: Amanda G. Allamore --- that's what I have worked out. Whether that is correct or no, I don't know. But it's much easier than getting my tongue around what is written here!!!

You're pretty close...Amanda Gallamore althought the middle name starts with a G too...and the last name is just like you'd sound it out Gal...A...More

Mine is really arbitrary so it often causes more spelling confusion (by people not looking at it closely enough) than pronunciation confusion, at least I think. But the pronunciation goes... you-nee-mAx-ee-uhm. That's Uni as in "one," Max as in "maximum," and Ium because it sounds cool. People have said it sounds like the name of a vacuum cleaner or a transformer robot toy :lol:

. It was just some random nickname I made up for online chat rooms and forums when I was 13 or 14 after I got sick of calling myself HAL9000 (which I used previously... kind of silly heh). I've never bothered to find another one because I just kind of like this one. In real life my first name is Sky... which, if you can't pronounce it, you have problems

. And yes, that's my full name. My friends and I like to joke that my parents must have been real hippies -- which, in fact, is pretty true. lol.

my..very similar to "y" but with a "m" before it,
grain...very simliar to "rain" but with a "g" before it.

it's a play on words for migraine headaches which are the greatest part of my life(bullsh@t they suck concentrated ass monkey juice through a coffee stir straw made of petrified bat guano!!!) and "my" last "grain" of sanity. :mrgreen:

LOL when I see your name I always think of "my grain" as in film grain... this is a photo forum after all. To be honest, I never made the connection to migranes until you said it. I feel kind of dumb now.

ldman: :banghead: LOL.

Hmm that's 3 posts in a row for me. Maybe that was a little much.

Half the time I don't read the names to pronounce them (I see it and know who they are). I will say if for the ones I tried I'm wrong lol Especially Vonnangy because I'm a non Eastern European folk

As for Photong...I don't know...shouldn't be hard...'fo-tong' yippy for me
