For those of you who have a username that’s not particularly pronounceable - like yhwx - how do you say it/hear it in your head? For example, yhwx, when I see your username, I read it as “Why-wicks.”

Same goes for those of you with long or compound usernames. Do you use a chunk of it, like I do for my own username (“Ash”)? Do you initial-ize it, like I do with moviefreakedmind (“MFM”)?

Or is it just your online handle and you don’t think about it at all beyond using it to log in?

Always wondered this about other forum users (here and elsewhere), but MDOYS (or Mark’s? Syntax? Mark’s Down?) ending her post with “Silly yhwx” brought it to the forefront of my mind just now.
