Did you ever think, how other usernames should be actually spelled?

[lupandina]

Here in Stake we have players from whole world, and with amazing variety of usernames  Some are created intentionally, as people like use it same everywhere, some are just random mix of letters. Some has meaning, some not. I'm sure, when we are reading chat/forum, or thinking about someone, we are kinda spelling usernames in mind  And it can be funny different, according which languages we know and which are our native

Some usernames are pretty clear. I'm sure, we all would spell "Dan" in same way  But did you ever think, how your username can be spelled by other? Or how to spell others username in same way, he does? It's easier, when username has some meaning or association with english words, like "blueprints", "darkblood" or "computer"  But, I just tried to read "online today" section in bootom of forum. How I  should spell "chaitanya31"? "ch" in my language are different as in english (it's like just "h" for me), and how it is in his/her native language? How he/she spells it?

I remember, when I was calling Mackyrivera once, we talked smth about Stake, and both stucked speechless, as understood, we don't know, how we should spell "Etude"  Or, all streamers, in all streams I was watching, spelled my username not same I'm doing this  "Lupandina" is actually my real last name, and it should be "Lupandina", but seems people are telling that as "Lupandina"

Interesting topic to think about. I guess some people put thought into their names, and others just typed a bunch of random letters. I chose my username just to try Stake out, and then as I became more well known on here, I realised I could not change it without starting my reputation over, so I just stuck with williamshennie9

I think my username is pretty clear as well, at least as an abbreviation  TKO actually stands for my name, but people read it as "Technical Knock Out" hahaha its funny.

Interesting observation. Chaitanya is an Indian name, usually used for a boy. It was actually name of "Chaitanya Mahaprabhu", one of the most prominent saints from the 16th century (Now you might have difficulty saying Mahaprabhu hahaha sorry). Maha means big or top ranked and prabhu means lord. Chaitanya means spirit or superior intelligence.

I can maybe help you pronounce it. So its Ch-ait- an-ya: Ch as in chat, ait like 'eight' but the t is slightly different, an as inside anonymous, ya as in yacht. Try saying it all together and you'll get it

But your point still stands strong. Different names can be confusing to pronounce but it all comes down to the knowledge about the other cultures! If you have knowledge of cultures and accents, you might be able to get very close to the correct pronunciation. Even inside India (where I live), there are many dialects to the same language. This just makes it harder for Indians and non-Indians to get it perfectly right haha.

In fact more than anything else, my problem is that I will read the name once and set a pronunciation for it in my head, even if I read it wrong. For around a month I used to call you "LupanLinda" hahahah. Then I realised one day, when someone said "dina" that it was actually "Lupandina" hahah! Even now, it seems like a normal name to it, and I doubt I'll be able to get a perfect pronunciation like your until I hear it from you!

I guess names are just a manner of remembering people! They are like skin color really. They mean nothing more than the person itself ❤️

See?  In my head it sounds like I would read it in my language 

It would be Chai-ta-ny-a, like Chai like high, ta like tag, ny as n and ee (like in "street") and a like car

[Shaniqua]

sometimes they are usernames from other platforms that they just brought over..
there is no way i could have been shaniqua in lets say yahoo.com or google gmail... it would be taken
so over there it would be like Shaniquax3, and when i came here i autmatically  may have done Shaniquax3 cause iits unuie to me etc...
if you see a shaniqua username in non btc crypto sites.. .its probably not me kkeke
