![]() And here I thought my name was actually short enough that I wouldn't ever have a nickname... actually, I like nicknames, even if I don't really have one (in RL, that is). Wilwa, if it makes you feel better, I didn't even realize your name had numbers until today. I had to do a double take and wonder if you weren't someone else who had taken your name... ![]() ![]() |

I thought the h's had something to do with the differences in nationality, and thus some language variations. Although now I don't think so. All I can say is that I notice only two people (so far) who use the spelling Fordhim: Formendacil (Form? Formy? Formen?
![]() As for the use of nicknames, doesn't that make us feel like we're really a community? Besides, just think - what if you have to spell Marileangorifurnimaluim every time when you can use Maril instead? But at first I never really liked people calling me Lhuna because it reminds me of a certain absurdity that some Filipinos do to their nicknames. I'm not exactly a fan of names like Jhon when it should be Jon or something like that. I find it annoying when I see names spelled that way. But when the use of Lhuna started picking up, I had no choice. Now, though, use it in good health. ![]() Quote:

Poor Esgalhugwen (I spelt that without checking, hope its right..)
When we were playing WW IV, I don't think many of us managed to get her name right. We were calling her Losgulhugwen and heaven knows what else. Maybe that's why she disappeared....has she been seen since?

![]() I'm terribly disappointed in my name and I fervently wish that I had chosen a name more suitable for a site full of intellectuals. But what're you going to do? *shrugs* As far as spelling goes, Orominuialwen gave me the second worst trouble, right after Marilea......*gives up* |

![]() As for nicknames, I like "TGWBS" much more than "tgwbs" for some reason, even though the latter is technically more accurate. "Guy" just seems weird to me, as if I'm putting emphasis on being male or something. Last edited by the guy who be short; 08-09-2005 at 06:49 AM. Reason: Speeling - er, spelling. |

![]() I assumed it was a bit of punnery about The Gap and company logos. Throw in some thoughts that maybe Tolkien would harbour feelings about multinational sweatshops similar to the way he felt about mechanisation. Of course, if you are going to say that you had no intentions along those lines, well, there goes some play with words... ![]()
