It's pronounced N-KER-BIT.  My last name is Kirby, and my first name starts with the letter N, so that's where it comes from.
Question: are you short, pink, and round?

I always throw an 'i' in between the n and k and pronounce it ni-ker-bit.

The problem with explanations like this is it's too late.

I will misspell and mispronounce your name as nirk bit forever I guess I should just take the time to read a persons name first...

I always assumed Dsell was pronounced like a battery, and Grujah pronounced "groo-juh."

I think the 'j' is pronounced as a 'y'.

You're all correct, it's like the battery! Its similarity to diesel has led me to use that name for a variety of things, but diesel was already taken on iso. Diesel also has the nice connection with engines and I fancy myself an engine player.

If that's the case, I have pronounced that one wrong too.

I don't mind low-stress interactions from time to time. I consider you all friends and it doesn't hurt to have some basis for that friendship besides betrayal and distrust. :P

On that note, is it wrong that when I say "yuma" I switch into a deep, growling voice and say "yummy"?

hey... as long as you get my gender right I don't mind. I was surprised at how many people thought it was a feminine avatar name (and some still do who are new to the forums).

I thought it was feminine, solely because of Final Fantasy X.
