its probably because of your moustache.

My BF2 name used to be 345n45kjnkndknfdsfdf, this is when i first got BF2.



Often just called "Three Four Five" "Bunch of numbers and letters" "The guy with the F*cked up name"

I choose Jamaican as i wanted an easy name for sqd members to call. Now sometimes wish i choose a mad unrememberable name. Atleast one not associated with an accent.

I've considered changing my screenname, people usually call me "Haji". It can be a little misleading when everyone else in your squad says Haji every time they see an insurgent.

Muh...lamb...ree...it is my real name, and honestly not that hard to sound out phonetically. One would think.

Look me up on facebook if ya want.

I think a big part of this is also the fact that players are fantastic at mispronouncing even the simplest names

take mine for instance

H.sta or Sta... instead of saying Sta, they spell it out, S-T-A, and some even manage to call me "Haste"

You mean your not Luigi? hmm, then you most be really confused about those PMs i wanted you to forward to Mario

I get "Dackery", "Dackerah", "Dack", "Dockery" "Dickery", even though its so much simpler just to say "Tom".

Well, if you're playing with Americans or Brits, the reality is that "Sta" is a word fragment, so it doesn't make much sense to pronounce it as a syllable. I often see some essentially unpronounceable in English names, and I generally just ask the person what they want to be called when I get in the squad. Seems to work just fine.

The whole "Oh neeein, there is eine snipaaar" is from a guy in NATO PRT, C6 training for Ejod Desert.
His name was Ninja or smt.

And with the whole name, we should all go chinese and go " YO AND YO GO THERE!"

I had Ta77a in my squad the other day, was calling him tatta since I'm not quite up with the 'leet' speak but I was under the impression that sevens became Ts... apparently they were supposed to be Zs but my retort was "They don't have any bottom part... they look more like backwards r's to me, from now on you're tarra" and from then on he was Tarra

Old 009783232 is one of my favourites, he got some interesting nicknames over the years but now he's just numbers 1 [because another player 13139269 showed up and he's numbers 2, and yes, they do hop in the same squads occasionally ]. If you join my squad with a hard-to-pronounce name, chances are you'll be called whatever I want you to be called... if you don't like it you can always leave

Edit: I just noticed... Tarra, numbers 1 & 2 are all from Perth... must be something they put in the water here, isn't that right pmdw1234?

simpleness for the win

although some times people cant read my name too well in game..they read connan....like that cartoon guy connan the barbarian

mines simple
ethier killonsight or deadlyunknown
simple as, keep it simple guys we don't wnat to get confused here!

I usually end up calling people 'Mister AutoRifleman' or 'Mister Medic'... 'Mr Hat' is my favourite.

I have kicked people from my squad because of stupid names.

amen db.

<-- This is exactly why I changed my ingame name to AdderEye or RocketOuthouse. It was meant to be phonetic and be a name that gives people a "ah-ha!" moment when they figure it out, but it was difficult for people who read too literally or speak English as a second language.

Umm...Has anyone ever had that aha! moment? Looks incomprehensible to me.
