Something, alerted by a friend, has just occurred to me.

How would all of you pronounce my name? It would be interesting to know.

I'll tell you how I pronounce it later... but my way isn't necessarily the best way.

Yup, I pronounce it like fix, bricks, chicks.

Thrrrraves.

Darkness asked me yesterday... I didn't realise that it was such an odd word...

So not Grease. Not Gree, although it sounds pretty cool, but Gricks... but not so harsh.

Hesident Grix-san, to rhyme with President Nixon.

I pronounce it as it is written:

Grix Thraves.

Others would say:

Gwix Thwaves

Grith Thravthe

Or the really unfortunate

Gwixth Thwavthe
