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

I remember when I first met dbzao, I called him dibb-zazu.

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?!"

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.



I loved my horse, Guapo.



Guapo and I completed eachother.

<3



We won many, MANY competitions



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.

Did you wear those tight horse riding pants or just the usual asschaps?

You guys underestimate the power of that French accent on girls

In his case I beleve the chaps were ***-less (and leather).

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

No one ever gets my name wrong


though I suppose you'd have to be a major retard to struggle with it

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

Everybody calls me "vista"

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

Failbear

Don't even get me started on mine... And before u ask i have no idea where it originated from.

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".

Americans call me "Moarah" But i can live with it. I honestly don't care what nicks them use for me.

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

I always call him "saxony". Makes me think of the German state of Saxony for obvious reasons lol.
