I think the only one that might be weird is Mu. It's Mooooo like a cow. I don't know why I got all creative with the spelling, I've instructed Matt and my mother to smack me if I ever do that again. :p

Auggie - Ogg-ee.

Pepper is just like the condiment.

Payton... If anybody has any questions about Payton's name it's always best if people just watch stuff like this LOL. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_rFTD7OfVg
(Oh my God I just love watching those. #5? Forget it. #1. Best football player of all time.)
I feel dumb!

I've always said it "Aw-gie". Or maybe I'm just reading the pronunciation wrong, and AM saying it right lol.

Wilson & Piper's are pretty self explanatory ;)

But lots of people mess Sako up. It's Say-co, pronounced like the watch brand (Seiko), but he's NOT named after the watch brand. He's named after the rifle company (http://www.sako.fi/).. I'm sure over in Finland, it'd be pronounced "Sack-o", or something like that, but I didn't like it pronounced that way, so "Say-co" it is!

Hah, yeah, if she wasn't three and already registered/has her name everywhere I would totally change it. Lesson learned. Lol. (Oh and I don't call her with the long mooooo sound....unless she's eating grass. Which happens quite often.)

How were you pronouncing it?

Buster = Bust -ER (or bad dog..haha. Think of Buster Rhymes. ;))
Rudy = Roo - D (as in Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. Yes my mom did name him after him because he looks like a deer.)
Dixie = Dix - E (think of the cheap paper plates and cups or the Dixie Chic's)

For my cats:

Miagi = Me - og - E (think of Mr. Miagi in the karate kid but he is not named after him, totally different reason!)
Tiger - Ti - gR (as in the wild cat..)
Angel = An - jeL (as in Angel you know but she's no Angel in personality..)

I guess that's right, I don't know haha. Fun thread, though. :)

I think "Meg" and "Gusto" are pretty simple to pronounce.

"Meg" rhymes with peg

"Gusto" is a little harder, because it has a silent "getoverhererightnowwhatareyouthinking" at the end.
