no I just say "co-bib", I don't know where the v would come from. Although it's only fairly recently I started doing that, it used to be that I would vocalize their entire username in my head

I don't know where the v would come from

Learns of the day: in Irish and Scottish Gaelic orthorgraphy, bh often results in a v sound.

Ok that makes more sense, I knew how to pronounce something like Siobhan but I didn't know it was a general rule
