Mine is T-W-L, like the individual letters. It is not "twil", "tewl", "towel", "twal", or any other attempt to put vowels in between. These letters are simply my initials. My heritage is from an ancient antedeluvian civilization which went extinct(except for me) long before vowels were invented. Any attempt to add vowels to my moniker will be viewed as a "vowel movement", and will be strongly frowned upon.
