Aether - fu (like in Fuck U) kz (like x in fox)

The fukz is a stylized form of the german fuchs, which means fox (tada!) ^_^

Otohiko - hmm... it would be nicer if I had an idea how to type IPA font (I'm a linguistics student, just so you know...).

Regardless - the O's are short, like 'oh' but without 'h'. With that in mind,

Otohiko = [o-to-h'-ko]

Quite japanese.

kthulhu...

I believe it's

Khthulhu - [kah-too-loo]

Or something like that. I always say it in funky way like [chtloo-hoo]. Just because it sounds funny.

IPA font: special font is needed, use numeric keys + alt.

Kthulhu's name is from Cthulhu (mythology: what?)

Wang in danielwang is wang (ah), not w(ae)ng

I have one of the more easy to say names.

Farm(like farm) - boy(like boy) - bob(like bob)

Easy huh?
