Adding an H into words in order to make them fannish is now a full-blown tradition. It is no longer aspirated, but has become the Silent Fannish H.
Note that the same process will sometimes turn "F" into "Ph" — e.g., Phoxphyre.
Fans who have adopted H into their names include Ahrvid Engholm, Lord Jim Khennedy, Jhim Linwood and Bhob Stewart.

With the spread of the expression "ghod", and perhaps as a carryover from the trend noted under "G", addition of an H after the initial letter of a word came to mean, or at least imply, "pertaining to fandom", as in Lhiterature and Bheer. When spoken, such aspirates are voiced: Luh-HIT-er-a-ture, Buh-HEER.
