Zaikesman's Username Pronunciation Field Guide

OK, here's the deal: It's pronounced "Zikes'mn", not "Zakes-man" (accent on the first syllable with a long "i" and silent "a", the second syllable with a schwa "a"). Preferred 'nick-username' is Zaikes (rhymes with 'yikes').

Anybody else out there with a username having ambiguous/obscure correct pronunciation (you know who you are), here's your big chance to set us all straight!

(And the rest of you stop snickering :-)

And mine is D-RUBIN, not DRU-BIN. Just in case, RUBIN is pronounced ROO-BIN. I have long regretted choosing this user name and think I'll take a new one. Wanna help me choose?

Glad to have the record set straight on Zaikesman, but wtf does it MEAN?

I always figured Jeffloistarca was Jeff and Lois Tarca. This thread is turning my world upside down!

There's a Japanese restaurant nearby called Gombei. Don't know what it means.
