Oh boy.

I actually saw a bad name today, on a cashier's nametag.

Nyah.

Nyah?

I'm sure it's said nie-uh or something, but I can imagine having to have kids up and down the block call you nyah-nyah or something.

Completely unrelated note: Thanks for catching that slip-up. I'm not used to hitting the lock-box; might've known I'd forget it. XD

And it isn't, now. Kind of like forgetting to specify a community, just... yeah. yikes.
Thanks again.

I used to work with a dude named 'Niagh'. It was pronounced 'nyahh!'. That was always fun to say.

I know someone named "Nghia," which is pronounced, "Nee-yah."
Hate the guy, but interesting name. Nee yah nee yah nee yah, my name is better.m

Hmm. Y'know, some people make fake tags for themselves. I know a guy who worked at blockbusters. He had some sort of amazing technological skill that allowed him to reproduce the nametags with various odd names like "Conan" and "Bond, James Bon." He'd do it all of the time for fun.

If that's his/her real name, it is rather sad. I got teased over my name, and it's just Claire. (They called me clariton. Oh, what trauma.)

Hello mighty Empress. I was a bit bored and added you to my friends-list, because I often stumbled across you in one of the communities we share. You don't have to add me back, but I hope you won't be offended when I add my silly comments to your writings, such as: Oh I do like such silly names. Nyah looks nice for a name, but I'm happy it's not my name. Adieu :)

I kept asking my manager if my name tag could read "Og, Gorilla Emperor of Earth," but she wouldn't go for it. I did get a couple of pages over the PA under that name, though.
