Yes, I'm used to saying ! as "bang."    (And of course ~ is a tilda.)
For the rest,
  # is prosaically merely "number."
  \ is "backwhack."
  ` is "baquote."
  | is "vertical" or "pipe."
  < and > are "angle brackets"; { and } are "curly brackets."  [ and ] are
just "brackets."

Now, how do you pronounce the difference between FILENAME, filename,
and Filename?
