Nice try but way off still.

Hint, the S.C.H. make a "Sk" sound.

This is hilarious. I wonder if the same thing is the case with, for instance, Byzantine, Arabic or Hungarian names? Like 'Abdullah son of Windy Camelshaver?

[Tricky Lady]

Hit, the S.C.H. make a "Sk" sound.

*buzzing sound*

Wrong!!
It's definitively NOT a "sk" sound.
Impossible to explain how this name sounds to someone who speaks English.


But let's try.
Must sound a bit like the Spanish "j" (like in "jota") or the Modern Greek "χ".

The "uy" sounds remotely like the Norwegian "ØY" (if my info's correct).

Heh heh, good luck trying to pronounce that!

[Kagetora]

Uh, tricky lady, the SCH definitley make a "sk" sound because the wierd name is mine, and btw, the name SCHUYLER is dutch and is pronounced
S-K-Y-L-E-R.

VI names are far more colorful with people named bloodaxe and the like.

Uh, tricky lady, the SCH definitley make a "sk" sound because the wierd name is mine, and btw, the name SCHUYLER is dutch and is pronounced
S-K-Y-L-E-R.

...when you pronounce it in an Anglo-Dutch way, yes

I just compared it to present-day Dutch (that weird language that I speak) and nowadays we pronounce your name as I tried to describe above.
BTW it means something like "he who hides".

PS. I don't want to argue about your name; I mean it's your name and I suppose *you* know how to pronounce it

[octavian]

Heh heh, good luck trying to pronounce that!

sure, np... i have a rudimentary knowledge of dutch thanks to my grandmother only speaking that language
another name that i hear mispronounced regularly is Aasman
