Nice to meet you, my name is Heather. ^^

EDIT: Well, technically my name is Heather, but my mom's parents call me Heide and my dad's parents call me Adsila. They all mean the same thing and well... I digress. XD

While I am too shy to state my given name, I will say that there is someone on our server whose character bears my real name, same spelling and everything (no... it's not Susan >.>)

    ...a secret! >.>;

    Alot of my online friends call me Kisa though, because I've always gone by that name in other games and such... But someone on Lakshmi already had the name... and it's a male character!! orz /cry Now my LS and I call him ManKisa, for obvious reasons.

    Real name begins with an N, though, and not a very common name, I've been told. ^.^

    PS: I know Tenmiles's name and am accepting bribes in exchange for information.

Well, at least alot of people know Mango's, her LS calls the house when they need stuff or are doing something. Hell, we got a call on the phone asking if i could go open the 3 mage gate for someone. No need to be shy people!

    Won't tell you guys my first but my last name is Nguyen.

    Oh yes, the notorious Nguyen. I'm betting a lot that no one on these forums (unless you're from my ethnic group) can say that correctly ^_^;

    I live near Anaheim. My old high school is about a block or two away from Arrowhead Pond. If you need a guide don't be shy to ring me up. ^_^

    I'm not vietnamese, but we always pronounced it "whin" or so. I'm probably way off, but none of the people I knew with either first or last name Nguyen ever corrected me. So they either made fun of me when my back was turned, or considered it close enough.

    Back in the old days, I went to high school with quite a few with this name, about 20-25. Almost dated a girl, Nguyen Dough (I think I spelled that right, it's been a loooonnng time), but sadly, racial differnces weren't as among our families and friends, so we stayed friends instead. I always teased her and called her "window".

    OT: I have a few Vietnamese friends with this common last name and it's pronounced
    'nuyen/noo-yen'. I know the 'g' is left out but that's how it is.
    I remember misprounciations for the common last name as 'Neh-gai-yen/Neh-guy-yen' but that's wrong. The Vietnamese last name pronounced as 'whin' is "Huynh".
    Somewhat common as well.

    I figured it wasn't exactly right. Like I said, they either laughed at me behind my back, or figured it was close enough. But none ever corrected it, and it was commen that most people pronounced it "whin". Although the name was Nguyen, not Huynh. I don't think we had anyone with that name. It's good to know how it is actually pronounced, now I can feel fully embarrassed. ;)
