phonetic livejournal names

[escritoireazul]

nikitangel started this meme where we explain how to pronounce our livejournal names. Copied here from the comment I left her:

From my Oxford English Dictionary, escritoire = eskritwaar (Except I'm more likely to pronounce it es-cree-toar, with es=s, cree=like creed, and toar=like roar.) (I still love that this is from the Latin scriptorium, room for writing. Something I need to make even more of in my life.)

azul = a as in cat, zool is how I'm most likely to say it.

I think it is the oirea in the middle which makes it difficult to read.

She tagged people, but I'm just going to say if you'd like to weigh in on it, I'd love to hear how you pronounce your name.
