I have always thought it was Urist.

Must be cause I say words the way they are written in my language.

I pronounce it uhr-ist.

Which might explain why I dislike using the name, because it sounds ugly to me.

I pronounce it like that too, but it sounds dwarven to me.

Um, I've always thought "Oo-er - wrist".  As in what you'd expect if you read it phonetically (UR-ist).

Yeahp, same.
