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.
See also: Apa-H.

When spoken, such aspirates are voiced: Luh-HIT-er-a-ture, Buh-HEER.
