I've never attempted to say your name out aloud. There was no reason to as everything is online, but yeah, it probably would have been cro-shell. Though I have to admit, I spell it different every time I type it.
As to mine, it looks long and most people get confused when they first see it. But if you break it down its three words - Living UK Taiwan, though a lot of people may not be familiar with Taiwan, adding to the confusion. That's why I always write it as LivingUKTaiwan to make it a tad easier to read. The reason for it was pretty simple. I started blogging when I went to live in Taiwan 5 years ago, blogging about my life in both countries. Naturally, I adapted it for Hive and all my other social media accounts.
Lol I hear ya. Now that you've said that I normally don't say anyone's handle out loud either but when reading it I like to know I'm pronouncing it correctly in my head. 😄
Oh yes that’s right, I remember reading about your name on another occasion. Once you break it down it doesn’t seem as long any more. Thanks for sharing why you chose those three words ~
