Is that how you say it? (Without the Pessoa part.)

The "j" is like the "g" in "mirage"

"Joh-ah-ooh"

The "ah-oh" sounds like the "ow" in "meow", but it's a nasal sound, practice it by holding your nose while saying it.

When you say it faster it sounds like "jwau"

Now I'm going to be saying meow while holding my nose.

Although most peopel go by zane Im actualy a chris

which reminds me of a friend of a friend who didnt know my name even though i had been hanging around for quit a few weeks him and her. She actualy got round to saying sorry who are you a few weeks later (total kyle moment for her lol) and said i actualy look more like a Mark. She then always called me Mark when she saw me lol. She eventualy got so obsesive with the joke she looked for a site to officialy change my name
