Reacting to your username IRL: Do you do it?

[Mirby]

If you were to see me on the streets and called me Mirby (or any variation thereof), I'd probably respond.

 

[Jamstruth]

I do. Mainly on skype and such due to the wealth of people I've met via the internet (Nerdfightaria...don't ask). Most of the time its just shortened to "Jams" though so that's what I respond to most of the time. considering my name is actually "James" its not far off and I definitely prefer it as a shortening to "Jamie" or "Jimmy".

I'm also called "Jas" by a couple of friends (my initals are JAS)

 

[raulpica]

Nope, since nobody knows my nick on here, except a single friend.

People always call me shlong ._.

They're just making fun of you

Just kidding

 

[retKHAAAN]

@Vulpes - So how do you pronounce it? (just wondering)

Vul-pis. Two syllables.
my buddy says it as one. "vulps"

I was actually right for once in my phonetic guess... I failed miserably with "Rye-dian"

 

[ProtoKun7]

Yet the correct pronunciation of Rydian was the way I originally thought.
(I tend to elongate my vowels, or in this case, semivowel)

 

[stinkoman]

I don't think anyone could pronounce mine.

 

[DinohScene]

Not hard for me since my name is Dino ;p

 

[iggloovortex]

I respond to iggloo over chat and stuff. Due to lots and lots of World of Warcraft raids over the years where voice chat is a must.

 

[BORTZ]

Ive been called BortzANATOR by a select few of my friends.

well, just so everyone is aware...
my username is pronounced:
Old-eight-oy

 

[VatoLoco]

I hear ppl say my username all the time at work, lol.(only a few actually know that it's my online nick).
"Odelay Vato", "vatos locos forevaaaaar, holmes" and the such...
heard it like 3 times this week already, and it always gives me a chuckle.

 

[ProtoKun7]

I don't think anyone could pronounce mine.

Looks easy enough.
Doctor Octapu.
Or straight up "droctapu".

I recognise the 8 but I kind of merge "eight" and B in my head when I see it, because that makes it easier to think, if that makes sense. Easier to think being easier to say in your head.

 

[ShadowNeko003]

I think my friend only called me "neko" in real life once or twice. I don't really remember. But yes, I did react to it.

 

[s4mid4re]

nobody really knows my alias, and even if they did, it'd be difficult to pronounce it.

It's pronounced as sa-mi-da-re ('re' being an intermediate sound between 're' and 'le' because it's Japanese). It's japanese for "May's Rain" ('May' being the 5th month of the year), implying that I was born on may and I really like the rain. Most people tend to think that my name is Sam, thus Sam-idare (or that's what I'm guessing).

Because it's a rather rare/uncommon username, I would actually react if somebody said samidare
