ILX2 NEW USERNAME TRANSLATOR COMPENDIUM

lol

glottal gtfo imo, that's unpronounceable, can you imagine my mum shoutin out the st 'darragggggggggg come in for yr tea' dont be foolish.

i totally can

she never fed us, for a start ;_;

i read 'darraghmac' with a silent g and a strict look on my face.

oh darragh<3 xp.

if it helps my birthcert is 'dara' and that was ok until we moved for the third or fourth time and there was a girl in my class also called dara and i went home and had a very serious talk with dad and we agreed that while phonetically things would just have to be borne i needn't suffer the indignity of getting my copies mixed up with a GIRL'S and 24 years later it cost me an extra twenty quid on a passport renewal. I dunno is there a moral tbh.

i had to read that post five times. that was rough. for some reason.

wait, i'm still confused. you had your name changed to darragh? for real? wow. cool spelling anyway.

my dad's name is ashley. nobody names their boys ashley anymore.

I guess you still get 'Ash' instead of Ashley. Americans have a lot more male Kims and Kellys than we do - I think of those as exclusively girls' names. I'd have though that 'Dara' was thought of more as a gender-neutral name in Ireland, though?

dara is a cool name no matter how you spell it. dara is a good sci-fi/fantasy name. darragh is kinda highlander.

dara is gender neutral, that was the problem.

We moved to another school when i was 12 and there was a girl there called darragh but i was off the 'girls are smelly' wagon by then and besides i had a signature so changing was too much hassle iirc

Americans have a lot more male Kims and Kellys than we do

we do? maybe some kellys, but the only male kim i know is philby

kim fowley!

darrugh is what a bunch of little nz girls with scruffy pigtails might change it to if they were feeling snippy.

how'd you pronounce it tho

kipling fans probably still name their kids kim.

my mother's middle name is jo! cuzza little women.

i see darragh and i initially would think it was one of those scot/irish DAH-RHOOOOGH kinda pronunciations.

my mom once told me that had i been a girl she might have named me kim : /

I think of Kelly as a surname tbh.

i know a few kellys but no kelly kellys

I keep wanting to spell it kellies

does darragh rhyme with farrah or lara? i've always, i think wrongly, rhymed it with farrah.

i would genuinely need to know how you pronounced each of those names before i answered that.

Farrah = first a is short, as in 'parrot'.
Lara = first a is long, as in 'car'.

I think.

if farrah as in fawcett then ya

lara is p much the same tho ime, tho i do know a lara and as it's been explained to me you don't say 'lara' and it's not quite 'laura' and for god's sake stop saying 'lorra' so i eventually stopped referring to the girl at all, which was a pity because she was wildly interesting and devilishly attractive.

i think our accents are showing, emily!

How'd you pronounce par, or carrot?!

yes, like farrah fawcett is how i pronounce it.

then we have no quarraghel

i pronounce it DURRRRR-a-mac

I'm so confused trying to remember the various names in question, but as far as "darragh," 1. I didn't realize that was your real name until I saw you on FB and then 2. I thought it was an Irish spelling of "Derrick" (prounounced "DARE-reg") and 3. I have never heard of Dara. And 4. "Farrah" and "Lara" are pronounced the same IMO.

Which brings us full circle to this morning on ChiLX and this amazing YT series

both my kids are in love with the pronunciation guide. they actually remember all the phony words! rufus even wrote a song using the fake names.

haha i love that shit

There are 174 videos in that series and most of them that I remember are funny. A couple are the too-obvious American trying to pronounce a French word thing, usually w/ a hick accent. Brontupisto is amazing, however.

and scott, your kids sound like awesome people

the 'real' acct can be just as funny

ive always thought of it as being the farrah pronounciation

of course that prob stems from when ilx mods used to have to use voice recognition software to ban people from "the church"

i pronounce jjjusten to rhyme with 'stunt' fyi, how'm i doin?

cunning

*goth clap*

Brontupisto is amazing, however.
