Phantom Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 I just find this a funny prospect. When I look at names on OB, I dont take them for how they are meant. An explanation would be in favor here, so I'll have a go at it. I look at various members and see something else from their names. Ex: [b]Liamc2 -> LimAC2[/b] Why I see that, I don?t know.. hehe. Other examples that cross my messed mind: [b]Mnemolth -> Mammoth Jinzounigen17 -> Jetsonman17 Yu Yu Hakusho! -> Yukakoshu[/b] Lol there are just many more things I can think of but, I wan to hear stuff from everyone else lol.

Queen Asuka Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 [color=indigo][size=1]I don't know, maybe it's just you, but I don't think I really have that problem. Except that Mitt'raw' guy reminds me of Mewtwo from Pokemon everytime I see his name. Okay, so maybe it's not just you! ^_^;[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 I think Genkai used to have an avatar of Heffer the cow from Rocco's Modern Life. I think of that Heffer picture everytime I see his name...lol. Other than that no... But pretty much everyone seems to make fun of my name.

Anna Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 I see your name as Semja Azel. I guess my brain is too lazy to tack on the extra syllables. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 I get confused typing the azazaz part even... lol. And I write the name like everyday when I sign onto things. Oh well. It's easier to just read it as Semjaza I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genkai Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 I say Semjaza Angel.. Oh yeah, 'm tyhinking of using that avatar again.. whee.. That Mith Raww nuddo or whatever? I say Mithrawdo. And when Ryan was noodleZ, wqith those weird things around his name that looked kinda like "E"s? I called him Enoodlez....heh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrist cutter Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 Hmm... I usually don't have problems with names. If they are rather long and complex, then I just look at the post to make sure I get it right... because I wouldn't really like people screwing up my name either (note the capitalization please...).

Queen Asuka Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 [color=indigo][size=1]Genkai's name reminds me of the cow from Rocko's Modern Life, too. I really miss that show. Wrist cutter, your name is VERY hard to mess up. But of course, I'm sure it's been done, right?[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing people have trouble with is the lack of capitalization, heh. But usually I don't go by wrist cutter... my other screen name as been messed up a few times.

Queen Asuka Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 [color=indigo][size=1]I capitalized everything out of habit. Even I capitalized your name up there. ^_^ What's your other screenname then?[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yu Yu Hakusho! Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 That is Japanese??? Well, I'm not an expert and I'm still learning, but I never thought that that name was in Nihongo. And I already knew that you were really good at Japanese. I just thought you were some prounciation wiz or something....0_o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroBlade Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 *Tries to say Jinzoogenzoogen as wrist cutter outlined it* Damn... try saying that 3 times fast... Now I stumble on a few names. Mystic's Knight as Mystic Knight. Call Genkai as Genkai yee under the old name. Semjaza as Sajema Axel. Mnemolth as milemoth. Alot of names indeed. Heck I do it to myself and just call me Zero G. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
