Sax, Saxon, Saxoni, Saxony, doesn't matter. As long as it includes "Sax"

I've called you "sex" before too. It slips out because they sound the same

Having had an Indian friend and watched the occasional japanese anime I have a tolerance for difficult names, but there are limits. Throw in something that can be pronounced.

Kwal, is the dutch word for jellyfish. The C at the back is the first letter to my name and the 297 is the area-code for my island. Why i chose that name is a different topic all together.

Mine is pretty simple. Although many people do tend to mispronounce it, it's easy to read. Usually people pronounce it as "Ex-cay-vus" instead of it's intended pronunciation of "Ex-cah-vus." I've heard weirder though, with some people calling me Excalibur or Excavius.
Typically I can read anybody's name and pronounce it straight away unless it's some random jumble of letters

I've been using this handle for something like 8 years and I'm pretty attached to it. I didn't intend for it to be a difficult name; I just didn't realise people would have a reason to struggle with it.
There is only one way to pronounce it!
PH = F
Flupple
S(pp)le is not pronounced soople
T(pp)erware is not pronounced tooperware
Why on earth would phl(pp)le be pronounced floople?
Some people even call me purple... make an effort lads.
(All non-native English speakers I forgive you but Brits, Americans etc. have no excuse)

Make a new player account with the word "ghoti" in it and see who pronounces right or wrong

But.. Honestly, a silent 'p'? I read it as 'flup-pull'. Lol. Bit I can See 'Pal-Hupple'. As to how you could pronounce it 'floople' .. Well, there are the French.

I am so damn good. Can I have a honorary Dutch citizenship for guessing that right? (It took me five minutes of staring at your name on the screen).

LIES! having everyone named dave would NOT be simpler, in fact it'd be even more complicated.
"DAVE THERE"S A GUY BEHIND YOU!"
Dave/s: "which one of us are you talk ab-SPLAT"
DaveSL1 - "DAVE! fly us to to Flag Alpha!"
DaveSL2 - "DAVE! fly us to flag Bravo!"
etc. - "" ""
*result* none of the daves make it to he flag they had planned on going to and their battle plan with very specific kits was foiled...but not a problem because the same thing happened to the other team!
Dave: *R Dave is greiving!
Admin: ...
