What’s in a name? – the sequel
It all started out so innocently this afternoon… or so I thought. There I was, reading my twitter feed conversing with @Dragonray and @Matticus when all of a sudden I was asked:
By the way @cymre how the heck do I pronounce your name? Sim-eer? Chim-ear?

Now I admit it’s not an unusual question, in fact it’s a post I finally got around to writing a while ago, but as I was in the process of answering, I saw that I had a new interaction coming in on my feed. Once I answered the initial tweet, I saw what appeared to be an influx of answers or interpretations from other people.
There was a bit of creative cutting and pasting to get all the tweets in order but it was a pretty interesting few minutes. Apologies if I missed anyone.
So there you have it.
That’s the way my name is pronounced as well as the Welsh interpretation. You do learn something every day :)

Glad I got it right, Shimmer!

Good to know! I’d been mentally pronouncing it as Sim-ray.

Gee, well at least I know I’ve been getting it right. Though if I hadn’t you would’ve smacked me upside in the head real quick smart.

Yours is one of the few names that I actually got right. I tend to pronoun these names in my head and then find out it’s totally wrong, so I’m real happy about Cymre, lol!
