Jymaru can be pronounced any of the following ways:

Jye-mah-roo
Gee-mah-roo
Xee-mah-roo
Jye-MAR-oo
Gee-MAR-oo
Xee-MAR-oo

Basically any pronounciation you can think of is correct

Mine should be obvious, but I'm not a native English speaker so I'm actually not entirely sure... Like, I was convinced that mrs would be pronounced "missis", but I've been called "miss Saturn" by someone speaking out loud, so who knows? :P

The person who said "Miss" was incorrect, as that's abbreviated "Ms." (American English) or "Ms" (Brittish English) There's no formal non-abbreviated spelling, but "Misses" and "Missus" are usually what's used for Mrs.

Well the 'Zhi' part of my un is actually derived from my actual name, but it is really hard to teach someone how to pronounce 'Zhi', since it does not have an equivalent sound in English (or any other non-asian languages for that matter). People who can't pronounce it would usually just say 'Zee' (hence the second part of my un).

So I would say my whole un would just be pronounced 'Zee'

PS: if you're wondering about my actual name, it's Zhi Wen (excluding my surname)

Kah-LIE-oh-pee Soul. :) "LIE" is in caps because that is where the emphasis goes.

I have the first name "Calliope" in Second Life, and I've been surprised at how many people mispronounce it as "KAL-ee-oh-pee" or "KAL-ee-ope" in voice chat. It's quite annoying as Calliope is a pretty name when it's pronounced correctly, plus it's a word: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/calliope

Spull-air

Apparently it means to split & share? sprawling lair? splashing fair? no-one knows...

My username is a combinations of the words Prism(priz-uh m) and Shard(sh-ahrd).

I had always though it was straight forward, for other native English speakers at least, but recently I've run into several people who misread it as the much less cute "Prism's hard." :(
