ShawnGlade 1,010 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I've made like 7 players at this point, and apart from 1, all of them have been in the "Shawn Glade" bloodline. When I decided to come back to the VHL I didn't want to make another SG player because not only would it get meme'd but god damn how cringey would it be to make a Shawn Glade 6? The original SG played 20 seasons ago, if there's 6 generations in 20 years then I wanna know what the hell is in the water in the Shawn Glade household. I wanted to make a European player because I was bored, although I will miss playing for team USA. I went to a random name generator and selected a Finnish name and boom, chose the most Finnish sounding hockey name I could. I can't decide how I want to pronounce Jani though. Should I keep the J sounding like a Y or should I really pronounce the J?

Daniel Janser 2,167 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 as far as I know, 'J' in Finnish are pronounced like 'Y' in English... @jRuutu to confirm, maybe?

I think so, or close to it. If you would say my username, it would be more like jay-ruutu, but jani is perhaps closer to yani.

In German it is similar a 'J' is used in the same manner as 'i', mostly in front of an other vowel, 'Janser' for example is pronounced like probably 'Yunser' would in English and not similar to 'Chancer' as a lot of English speaker do (but I do not mind, I know it is difficult to go against ones mother tongue)... jRuutu 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/121091-how-i-came-up-with-the-name-jani-karppinen/#findComment-927196 Share on other sites More sharing options...
