My name is Scheherazade. My nickname is Sherry. You can call me either one, I really do like both. Slight preference for Scheherazade, I guess, but I recognize that it is a mouthful at the very least. And everyone who knows me shortens it to Sherry pretty quickly, it seems, regardless of in what context they met me. Other nicknames that are approved, depending on who the speaker is and what your tone of voice is: Agent 2, Milkbone, Monkey, Shaniqua, Shibber, Schehera, Shee-hair-bear, and Sher. Also "Z." Of course "Sweetness" and "Cutest" and "Sugarplum" and other such diminutives are generally welcome too, as they've been in short supply recently.
But please, if you choose Sherry, please please please spell it with an S, two Rs, and a Y. And no A's, I's, C's or wayward extra E's. Even though I probably shouldn't, I get strangely offended if I get a fax to "Shari" and I think to myself -- good lord, has this person been thinking of me as a "Shari" all along? How did they get the impression I was THAT kind of a girl? Where have I gone wrong?
You can spell Scheherazade any way you like. That one's too tough to expect perfection on -- you get points just for trying. And, Milbarge, your wish is my command. We pronounce it 'Shuh-hair-uh-zod'. Or at least, I do. The other Scheherazade can speak for herself, and I hope she will.
I concur wholeheartedly. I have a friend who insists on calling me 'sheri' even when we're on MSN and my handle displays 'Sherry'. It took me the whole of last year to get used to 'Sherry' please don't subject me to 'sheri'.

While we're on this, can I ask for a pronunciation guide?
Posted by: Milbarge | March 12, 2004 at 02:53 PM
Can you provide "wav" or any kind of sound format file of the pronounciation of the "Scheherazade"?
I really don't know how to read 'Shuh-hair-uh-zod' correctly!
Thanks!

Ha, I have the same sentiment about people who ask me "is that with a C or an S?"
oh my... really?
I am so mean about it too. My common reply is " I said Sherrie not Cherry"
Not that either is my real name. My real name is Scheherazade, and I am getting depressed thinking that I have been mispronouncing my own name my whole life... according to me my name is pronounced Shuh-hair-uh-zad (like sad but zad) My mom is the one who named me, and I am now thinking that due to her accent (she is from Mexico)I mimicked her pronunciation... sigh.
