there are some usernames that just look like incomprehensible clusters of letters, and i just picture the cluster without pronouncing it in my head. the only username i can think of specifically that's given me trouble is "donavannj," i cant seem to separate that "j" lol.

people do all the time irl, so i try to keep it shortened to 'Sav.'

Have you found it hard to ever pronounce someone's username?
A few, but I just shorten them to something I can understand. Actually, with some of these usernames, I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing them correctly, lol
If so who?
I'm not one to name names, but most of the ones that come to mind have already been mentioned by others on this thread.
Has someone ever Mispronounced your name in real life?
I don't believe so. My first name is one syllable and three letters so it's kinda hard to botch up, lol

People have misspelled my last name, though, by putting in two "L"'s when there's only one. They still say it correctly, though.

Have you found it hard to ever pronounce someone's username?
Usually no. There's some I have trouble with at first, but that's because I'm a speed reader... I usually get it after a couple tries.

Has someone ever Mispronounced your name in real life?
Nope. Unless my middle name counts, but that's understandable... It's supposedly exotic.

(And, for the record here, my username is pronounced like so....

Yes.

There's this guy in my Algebra class whose name is Aimen (not sure if that is the correct spelling). I never really understood how to pronounce it. Even the times we had substitutes they called him 'Amen', like the declaration of affirmation for the religious people.

Not yet. I've had a few people mispronounce my last name, though.

Everyone pronounces my username wrong. Every single time. It's also often misspelled. It's pronounced "Zehb-ee-do". To be honest, I don't find it hard to pronounce anybody's username. Well apart from the japanese/chinese names obviously as I don't speak either of the two languages. XDD;
