It's a really weird name, what does it mean? o.O "Schump Fux" sounds better. "Sampf Fox"...... No. XD Just kidding.

But seriously, whatssit mean?

Fuchs - Fox

pf is pronounced as f as well, unless you stress P, so basicly it is schumpf = schumf = schumpfh, it depends on your accent.

you pronounce sollen as zollen.

but Sumpf is Schumpf, yours would be like Sampf.

Yeah probably, you have a point there. It varies.

ah btw, sumpf is swamp in english.

I think because he's probablu the first one to say that word (like I created Cetamora wich is not pronounced Ketamora) he can choose how he want too pronounce the s

yea, the name started as swampfox, then because i wanted a more unique name, and also didnt want to re-use swampfox in a game i was playing using probably 4 or 5 online translators and wikipedia i translated it to SumpfFuchs

i would think that schumpffuxs seems right being its the pronounciation of both words, but then again i dont know german
