How people Butcher your name

[Nannernade]

People randomly fuck up my name on Xbox Live but calling me Nannervade since when is there a v in the original spelling of Nannernade? It doesn't even look like a v. >.<

 

[Deadlock Radium]

I first had regirock888, and for those of you who know it, yes, its a pokemon.
So everywhere I went people kept saying "pokemon".

Ok so it changed to "RadUchiha"

But then I kept being called stuff like
rad uchiCha,rad uchiNha...

But wait! it doesn't stop here!

Then I changed to ryander and it only got worse. People started calling me Ryder. RYDER.
I swear to god.

Now I changed to Rad.

So I though : "There's no way they those idiots can screw this one, right?"
...
And now I am frequently called "Red". At least I like the color.

If you change it to ".", maybe they'll start calling you ",".

 

[Archemetis]

My name is Graham Shine.

I've had no end to the 'Grey Ham' jokes...

There's a guy I know who has called me it since I was 5, I'm 22 now and it's still as annoying as it was then...

In a vain attempt to give me a nickname in middle-school people started called me 'Graze'
Great, I either sound like something cows do for sustenance or I'm a really painful skin injury...
Thanks guys!

Some also tried to see if 'Grey' fitted for me... Here's a hint fellas, when coming up with a snappy, catchy nickname, don't use the blandest colour* next to fucking BEIGE!

(*which is actually a shade)

And now my surname! Ho-boy!
Being Shine, you can imagine how easy it is find ways to connect my name to obvious things.

In lower-school we were made to sit in a hall and sing hymns for about ten minutes.
It was boring as fuck.
It was also annoying as fuck for one particular song called, 'Shine, Jesus, Shine.'

You might be thinking about now: 'That sounds completely harmless, I can't imagine why that'd be annoyi--'
I'm cutting you off there.

It's not annoying as a song, in fact it was one of the more catchy of the hymns from lower-school...

But imagine now a room of about 300 4-8 year olds replacing the name 'Jesus' with 'Graham'...

Regardless of the fact that my big brother Neil had been going to this school for three years before me, I was the one it was all aimed at...

Then there's growing up, eventually because I was forced to play football, regardless of how many times I told people I'm a cricket/baseball kind of guy so of course I was deemed,

'Shiny' by everyone on the field.
Which as far as nicknames go, is not so bad.

Especially compared to 'Shiner'

'What's so bad about that?'

It's a nickname for two things:

(1): A black eye.

(2): At the time, a blow-job...

Guess which one was intended.
For lack of a better term, the majority of people who went to my school, were cunts.


So there you have it, several different reasons why I insist on being referred to by my forum name, Archemetis.

Or, G... JUST, G...

 

[sdafdfhrye3245]

My last name is Doucette...as in doo-SET. People seem to want to stick an H in there, like "douche-ette." I detest those people.

Worst part? It's not like my last name is that uncommon, at least outside the Northeast where I grew up! There were four Doucettes in my high school homeroom (myself, Dianne, Eugene, and Kristy), and none of us were related in any way by blood or marriage to any of the other three!

what no one ever call you douchshette?

 

[LongAndShort]

I have three first names. People have trouble picking the right one.

 

[AmayaOnnaOtaku]

MY last name gets butchered to all hell. It's Sebra. Pronounced Cee-Brah, like Zebra but with a S in front.

 

[ddon]

My name is stefan and everyone who I just met pronounces my name stefaun or steven. There is also this moron in my class who just has to say my name wrong. I need to remind myself too loosen his lockers bolts after vacation.

 

[Burningsok]

once in a while someone will mess up my last name

 

[.Warheart]

Warheart getting misspelled as Warhead.. how do you not see that?

 

[AidoruKami]

People misspell both my first name and last name consistently.

As for the name I use online? It's just funny to hear people TRY to pronounce it.

 

[Siffit]

Sifft sittif siffERRRR-siffguy

 

[sdafdfhrye3245]

in most, if not all games, i go by Angerfist and a few guys in TF2 have called me Angelfist and angerfish.

I'm surprised no one has mixed those into angelfish

 

[Redratson]

Redratasonz is was they call me, but as you can tell not correct.

I kid you not I guess the letters in my name are too squished together for epople to clearly say my name, it is just 3 words but into one and you say each one. How hard is that? XD

 

[Patton662]

People just call me Paddy, I'm Polish and my surname is almost unpronounceable in English. And no one is ever able to spell my first name (Patryk) right.

 

[Johanthemonster666]

People are rather unoriginal with mine

"Dennis the menis"

 

[Tomster595]

My last name is D'alva. It's just pronounced Dalva but people say Dee Alva

 

[Borntolose]

My second grade teacher used to call me Nadar(it's Nadav).
And no one knows how to write my last name.

 

[Joeshmoe5]

Its Joe Shmoe not joes homo

 

[Chicago Ted]

My last name is Szaplonczay.

Let's play a little game, try pronouncing it now!

---

WRONG. Substitute teachers always call me by my first name so they don't have to try it.
