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.”
There is no standard pronunciation — the username was randomly generated. It was supposed to be like xckd. If I were to say it aloud, I would spell out the letters, as in “y-h-w-x,” but you can choose a personal pronunciation.
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”)?
It’s all in the name. If there is a nice-looking and short initialism, I would use that. If it’s two words joined together, whichever is the more appealing word is what I would use.
