oh shit. completely forgot about namehunting....
#HGGGGGGHHHGFHFFFFHHHHGHH.............................(<-sigh)

#dont remember if weve talked about it on here?
#doing it anyways
#we changed our body name at school just over a year ago (end of last school year)
#we had been using it online elsewhere (japanese) for about half a year at that point and we liked it
#both in text and out loud (in voice chats etc)
#but it ended up not fitting at all in english
#plus everyone consistently mispronounced it
#esp combined with the midwestern accent it sounded like a different name which was dysphoric
#and oh boy story time. there was this one guy who just acted very...weird about names in general
#it was apparent he had no ill intent
#but he was very over-the-top and itrritatingly apologetic about remembering names. for everyone really
#and for us specifically on multiple accounts he would ask if his pronunciation was correct
#and tell us to like. teach him the “proper pronunciation” and stuff
#even though we repeatedly told him that we don't give a shit
#like we don't owe a fucking language lesson to you????
#if you're an english monoglot you just can't hear the tones or phonemes that aren't in english
#you're not special for not being able to pronounce it “correctly”
#and if a native speaker just tells you to drop the topic YOU FUCKING DROP IT.
#but he didn't. the first time it took us actually yelling at him and a teacher intervening for him to give up
#later times it was easier to get him to stop
#anyways... glad we're out of school so we don't have to deal with him
#but dear god we're NOT choosing an english name
#but at the same time namehunting for japanese is such a hassle.....
#because there's 1) the reading. 2) the kanji meanings. 3) the kanji stroke number for fortune reasons
#all separately from each other
#in addition to something that will work well enough in english
#it's not as easy as alter names because we can change those much more easily
#and we can just go by alter vibes and any kanji that looks cool etc
