Well TTS pronounced it Calseeman but I think it's Kal Kee Man because the Calcy is like "calculation".

My name is tough to pronounce for Mericans. For an approximation, pronounce it sock-a but that's still wrong. I can't find any words with the correct A sound. I call it "plain a".

So it seems like everybody says "Cal see man"
I just watched a maths video about Calendars and the guy said "Adam P. Goosher"
That's about right for my name or you can listen to it here

When I've talked to people who know Goucher personally they've always used a "ch" sound rather than a "sh". So I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be "ch" unless we've all been saying it wrong!

I PMed him myself back in November but he hasn't replied yet.
Maybe it's pronounced something completely different.
I'll pronounce it Gouscher for now as a compromise

He should just save us the trouble and use calcyman as his real name.

That's a good idea too. Maybe.

While AbhpzTa is pronounced, roughly, "AbhpzTa". (and not AbphzTa)

[Saka]

I pronounce AbhpzTa as 1 word.

Which people, just out of interest? (Feel free to PM me if you prefer.)

I seem to recall a wiki page writing the pronunciation as "goo-SURE" (so /guːˈʃɚ/), but strangely I can't find it anymore...
ignore the edit count sorry
One more: I do say Calcyman with a hard second C, by the way

My name is tough to pronounce for Mericans. For an approximation, pronounce it sock-a but that's still wrong. I can't find any words with the correct A sound. I call it "plain a".

Does anybody pronounce gmc_nxtman as jee-em-see Next man?

Aperiodic is a word with that 'plain A' sound, isn't it?
I will probably quit GD. My computer is terrible...

I pronounce it /eɪpiɻiɒdɪk/ myself so at least it's not for American. (It's the sound English calls the "long a" but is closer to an e sound in pretty much every other language)

Probably the problem is Americans (except for my particular dialect?) pronouncing the A at the end of words as a schwa.

[M. I. Wright]

I assume the name is 'actually' pronounced just as [saka] (vowel length doesn't appear to be phonemic in Malay/Indonesian?) -- so you're right about the schwa, but the first /a/ poses a problem as well. The usual english rendition of it would probably come out as [sɑːkə] or [sʌːkə]

[Saka]

vowel length doesn't appear to be phonemic in Malay/Indonesian? -- so you're right about the schwa, but the first /a/ poses a problem as well.

Correct. My last name is also a problem for Americans...
And my first...
My entire name...

Don't worry, it's much easier than, say, Andrzej Okrasinski's...

[gameoflifemaniac]

I could help, because we're both from Poland, me and Andrzej (Andrew), but to show how to pronouce his name, I would have to record my voice, and I don't want to do that. I even don't know how to make the audiofile with my voice in the first place! But don't tell me how to do it, because I don't need it.

I have a conspiracy theory that youtube is actually the illuminati. Here's the proof: Go to https://www.tinyurl.com/youtubeilluminati (A fitting url for a fitting post). The proof there will bamboozle you into being so nonplussed that you'll have no choice but to agree with me!
