I'm so bad... Is it Menu, like what you get at a Restaraunt, or Me-new?

Yep, named after a restuarant menu, because he'll eat everything ^_^

I've read the previous questions, and I'm brought back to Quixoto. I've been pronouncing his name like the famous literary figure who saw windmills as giants that changed form into windmills just as he attacked them, Don Quixote! (Pronounced Kee-hoe-tay.) But is it actually pronounced Quik-zote? Or Qui-zote? Or could it be Quee-x-oat? I'm not sure....
And generally, I'm pretty good at pronouncing names. Tony's name served no problems for me, for instance. I've lived in Germany before, and compared to some of the names of my neighbors back then, Tony's name is cake to pronounce.

Don Quixote is close! It's similar even to the Kyoto (Japan) but sometimes I put a little more emphasis on the Q part of it and it's like Kwih-ohto. Don Quixote was indeed the name I had in mind, also the word "mosquito" so I sort of mushed the words together to get his name ^_^

I am totally going to imagine him with a Zorro accent now.

Don Quixote was indeed the name I had in mind, also the word "mosquito" so I sort of mushed the words together to get his name ^_^ XD Ha ha! I saw a theatrical production of Don Quixote once, so I may imagine Quixote as that forever in my mind now. 'Off we go to slay the giants!' 'But my lord, those are only windmills!' 'Nonsense! They are terrible giants!' *one charge later, comes hobbling back* 'And just as I should draw close, they enchanted themselves into windmills! Such terribly crafty giants these are!' The fact that it ended with his death and then it's revealed that HE'S the one telling the story is all a little....actually, it sort of does fit him, doesn't it? (And then I died a horribly tragic yet heroic death. 'You're still here. TRY AGAIN.' XD Don Quixote was not nearly the hero he tried to make himself out to be.)

I feel silly for asking but,I have always wondered how you pronounce Charby's name.
Is it Char-bee? Or Shar-bee?

No need to feel silly! I have a few made-up names in here, and the "Sh" pronunciation is pretty common for "Ch" words. It hadn't occurred to me until now! (Like Charlotte and all!) But it is pronounced Char-bee.
