Who here can actually pronounce my name?

[Zeream]

I have recently discovered that nobody here knows how to pronounce my name, which is why everybody refers to me as "Z" in voice chat or not at all... (since I'm invisible :crying.

So, here is a contest by ME for you guys to attempt to pronounce my name properly (read: how I pronounce it). Just type out the way you would spell it like dictionaries do, you know, like how they say articulation as ARE-TICK-YOOOOU-LAAYE-SHUUUN. Its recommended you use the Wikipedia pronunciation chart instead, though. The contest will end 68 hours from this post.

There will be two prizes:

1) The first person to pronounce it correctly will get a strange overdose.

2) The person who can make up the most amusing way to pronounce my name gets a strange bottle.

Only rule is that there is one post per person. You can use a German dictionary (or none) for all I care as long as you get it right! So, really, have fun, and feel free to call me by however horribly you botch my name in the future! :laugh:

Oh, and in case you've never seen me before (even though I've been dedicated to eGO servers for over a year now and a member for half that) here I am. I'm only just now getting active on the forums, that's all. Eventually I'll migrate to vent...

what do I win?

 

[Caelestis]

Zay-ray-am.

If nothing else, I should win because I understand what it's like for people to have no idea how to pronounce my name.
