    Default Changing username

    I was wondering if it was possible to change my username to Azélor
    I know it's not a big change but it's something that bugged me in the early days.
    When I created my account eons ago, the site would not let me use an accent.
    Yet I just saw another user with an accent in his username and was thinking I could have one too like I originally meant to.

    But then we won't know how to pronounce your name!

    Every time I see my name I think you must pronounce it Azeelor or something.

    Basically Az-el-or is how I pronounce it. But I have no idea how to pronounce an e with an accent.

    I think é is prononced like ay?
    As in Malaysia or hay for example.

    Without any other information, I'd treat the accent as a stress marker (which would lead me to pronounce it Az-EE-lor rather than Az-ay-lor).

    Stress marker as in Tōkyō for example?

    The Wikipedia page says we don't have that in French and I'm not sure which words use that in English. I probably don't pay too much attention.
    the pronunciation of the "e" is different too. "E" is pronounced just "e" but in English it becomes "ee" like hi,hi,hi!

    Well, !@#)*^. I'll never be able to spell that. Ah well, back to the old standby from school days: copy and paste!
