Eight letter name. Three syllables. Good letter/syllable ratio of 2.67.

Consonants are all different. Requires passing the noise around the mouth. Hard Z sound comes from middle of mouth and not tongue extensive. Th is soft and uses the tongue in the front of mouth. Noise passes to R sound at back of mouth near throat. The L sound moves to the front middle of mouth and requires tongue. Overall, tongue has good use without overuse, and uses most areas of mouth. However, no plosives are present. Long, sustainable consonants draw out the name and make it more sluggish than necessary.

Vowel use is unknown. Assumed ZATH-uh-REL pronunciation, but may be ZATH-uh-ruhl or Zath-A-ruhl. The first has a nice balance of vowel sounds, but lacks long vowels. The other two are poor because of the misleading ruhl pronunciation, which should be avoided. I will assume the first pronunciation for my rating.

Letters themselves have nice variety, except for vowels. Consonants include Z (although in a very standard place), TH (the only two letters functioning as one sound), a quicker R and a longer L. Most letters common or semi-common, which lends to familiarity. However, vowels range is A and E, neither functioning as long sounds. Dynamic A is present with the double pronunciation between syllables. No other tricky functions between letters, and vowels are nicely spaced.

No profanity present in any rendering of the name. Between good and very good range overall. I give an 8.4 out of 10.

...wow...I've never seen this thread with such an in depth review before...

name length is fairly short, which makes it easy to read
name is fairly unique, low probability of confusion with other users
name has explained meaning
use of somewhat arbitrary numbers

I'd say about an 8/10

Unnecessary number at the end
Some mis-read your name as jk-jelly
no idea what it means
can lead to confusion when you say "jk" in chat

  1. Long username consisting of 3 words and a number at the end all crammed together.
  2. Unneeded number at the end
  3. Unoriginal concept, presumably reason for number requirement.
  4. Too many syllables. APOLOGISE!
  5. Why.
3/10

Interesting concept of a name, but
I am forced to reach for the 0 button when typing your name.
7/10 though

I think my name deserves an 11/10

Interesting concept for a name
May have other meanings, however may not
Implies he's a cool guy (Puns FTW)
No unnesecary numbers or x's
Not too long, but also not too short
Fits the mc skin as well as the profile picture
Since its based off an actual a word it rolls off the tounge better
No profanities in it
But, no good abbreviations even if it isn't TOO long (Chill maybe?)
I give you a 7.75/10 for i am a mean judge and refuse to give anything higher

base of 6 because it alludes to the idea of a fine line between genius and insanity
+1 for making the distinction of which side of the line he is on
+1 for fitting in a separation of the words
-.5 for having 4 syllables, more of a personal preference
