i love when people cant pronounce my name, its so funny, there was this one guy who couldnt even after i told him how to do it. people try to say the entire name instead of the 1st 4 letters
There is only one unforgivable lie That is the lie that says, This is the end, you are the conqueror, you have achieved it and now all that remains is to build walls higher and shelter behind them. Now, the lie says, the world is safe.? The Great Khan.

40k is deep like that.

I had some guy that wanted to call me chavoc (pronounced shavoc) because ingame my name is -<havoc1482>- and apparently the beginning "-<" looks like a "c"

I also love when somebody goes "hey havoc!" (addressing me) and someone on the team goes "ZOMG WHERE?!"

As for goguapsy i call it

gobsypie
I'd call you AK-warrior

Gobsypie? That's... that's... that's new.

Hence 'goguapsy' has similarities to 'go' and 'gypsy' if you break it down into syllables. I'm presuming too that it's of a Portugese origin (as a word) so they doesn't read the same for other languages as it does for those from Latin countries.
Perhaps I should come clean about my nick's origin.

I used to do horse jumping. My horse was named Guapo.

Image

I loved my horse, Guapo.

Image

Guapo and I completed eachother.

<3

Image

We won many, MANY competitions :D

Image

I was in 4th grade, so I was learning about scientific names, and how they always ended up with weird letters/sounds. So I inverted my name and made a "scientific" sound for my horse's name.

Hence, my horse's scientific name was My real name twisted guapsy.

And then I lost my accound, Guapsy, so I made GoGuapsy.

And this is the story of my nickname.

Nope... there's no "Guapsy" in Portuguese... It's just my horse's scientific name (species).


And then I stopped doing horse jumping and Guapo got fat. And we never looked into eachother's face ever again. The end.

BTW, all pics are unrelated.
Guys, when a new player comes, just answer his question and go on your merry way, instead of going berserk! It's THAT simple! :D

Despite my name looking simple (to me) most people from European countries and America seem to always put an L after the dd (Smiddley?) most Brits seem to get it right tho. Werid, just something I've noticed over the years

It appears that my name can't be shortened to a single syllable so people sometimes call me by the VRW tags.

I don't know whats harder: V-R-W or co-me-di-an

my name is pretty easy for peeps to say, although people like to call me various names :(


also since 2005/6 when i used the name CareBear i could use it everywhere, there was only one other carebear that existed and she was from Rose Online, < that did lead to me getting loads of friend requests on xfire as the carebear from rose online happend to be a female.

but now im stuggling to get my name into newer things as people realise the awesomeness of my name and want it for themselves D:<

which leads to names sich as carebear101, bearcare etc etc

Of course it can. Comedian = ***.

As in 'I need you over here with that weapon, ***!'

There. Any other problems need sorting?

Um... Are you saying that naming yourself "xXXxxXXxx1337znIpz0rxZxQuIcKzc0peZxZXXZzzxzxXXzzzXZ" is not cool?

"saXon" was taken, so I went for "saXoni". Sound's like the feminine version of "saXon".

Hmm, very Germanic as well. Saxony. Not that it makes the slightest bit of difference or is noticeable unless you actually think about it.
