My name

[Holquist 1st MRB]

Ever since I joined the 1st, I've been called many many names: Spongebob, Submarine, Holkist, Holocaust. I just wanted to state, FOR THE RECORD

 

 

It is pronounced Hole quist, the QU does not in fact make a K sound

 

Thank you for your time, I wish you good cookies

[Moffat 1st MRB]

QU as in ''kw''?

[Marsden 1st MRB]

whole-kwist

[Holquist 1st MRB]

YES That's it

 

[Reis]

Hålkvist!

[Marsden 1st MRB]

Scandinavian style there

[Holquist 1st MRB]

My family originates in Sweden

 

[Holland 1st MRB]

Sure thing hokist

[Marsden 1st MRB]

So would Reis' version be a differing Surname or would your families spelling be a linguistic adaptation to non-Scandinavian dialects/languages?

[Holquist 1st MRB]

Uhhhh

I know the original spelling was Haulquist

[Almeida]

Lol, ever since I joined also at least half of the guys call me ALL MEDIA, I'm really not a CD collector or journalist.

 

[Holquist 1st MRB]

All May Duh?

[Marsden 1st MRB]

[Almeida]

LOL, ALL MAY  DA (stress on may) - the last A sounding like the very beginning of OUCH! interjection.

[Almeida]

Well just know gentleman that this is a pain that all in the unit have felt at some point. I've gotten Madsen and Marzipan and a few others in my time. Now that I know your name has the emphasis on may though I will keep that in mind for you in game/vent Almeida.

[Holquist 1st MRB]

this is a good thread

Heeey there should be a pinned thread just for name pronunciations

It's an idea :3

[Almeida]

Next name discussion should be Göthe.

[Marsden 1st MRB]

That is definitely an idea, but then again it would require every member to actively review potentially hundreds of posts if say every member were to get online and make the posting, and there are the peeps who never sign into the forums T.T But overall this thread has been super productive XD

 

[Almeida]

Is it Marsden pronounced as MARS[planet]+THEN?

[Marsden 1st MRB]

Mars (the planet) den (the room)

Now that would be a good one; I pronounce it the German way but it gets massacred all the time

[Marsden 1st MRB]

I believe the phonetic breakdown would be yo-tay from how I have heard him say his name
