Notes

  1. Please don't shorten my name or ask for variations of it. Don't Jealous Me covers this in his video.
  2. k͜p is hard to pronounce if you've never seen it before. Opting for the 'p' sound you know and love is fine!
  3. All efforts to pronounce my name are appreciated. I appreciate you if you've spent more than 30 seconds on this site.
