In which case you just made up your own abbreviations? I can handle that. :)

Thank you. My first name is taken from the
Bang-the-Keyboard-until-Something-Pronouncible-Shows-Up language, whereas
my last name is from the more respectable
Custom-Scripted-Random-Word-Generator language. ;)  I'll take a stab at
giving the X-SAMPA pronunciation, but I'm also going to include
word-examples for pronunciation just in case. And maybe you could tell me
if I'm getting the right X-SAMPA symbol?

Arthaey  Angosii
"A:rTeI  {N"gosi

-or-


Arthaey -- stress is on the first syllable

"Arth" as in "King _Arth_ur"
"aey"  as in "H_ey_ you!"

Oh, and "Arthur" is per an American pronunciation (rhotic? is that what
it's called, where you don't drop the R's?).


Angosii -- stress is on the middle syllable

"Ang"  as in "h_ang_ from a tree"
"go"   as in "_Go_ team!"
"sii"  as in "I _see_ you"

Arthaey, whose nickname could be "Arth" but never "Art" :)
