HOW TO PRONOUNCE

HOW TO PRONOUNCE "COVINGTON"

Since starting the project I have come across a few different ways of pronouncing our name. So, starting with my own way, I call myself Cov-ing-ton with the "Cov" pronounced as in "cough" and the "ton" as in "tunnel".

Another style is "Cov" as in "cover" and "ton" as in "tonto". The third is to change the syllables to Co-ving-ton, so that the "Co-ving" is pronounced like "cove". Obviously a mixture of the above variations are also possible. I haven't actually studied which is the most popular pronunciation, but most of the Covingtons that I have met do it my way.
