To Change my name or not to Change my Name

[MadBadger]

When any of you read my name out to yourself (if you ever had any reason to), do you say..."Oh, thats Hmmph..or something like that" Or, do you say, "Oh, thats h-n-m-n-f."

Very important question

[NightWatcher]

1. -makes the noise, hmmph.....never even noticed the n-m-n

[Turbineguy]

2. Sure

I'd go for the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.

[RayOfHope]

3. I pronounce it in my head something along the lines of

"hem and hoof" which I know makes absolutely no sense whatsover.

[Barack_America]

8. Ohhh, I like your new name.

That's a good one!

[RayOfHope]

11. Thanks! It only took me fifty brazillion tries before I found a name that wasn't already used.

Yours is awesome as well.

[Cha]

13. Oh, you changed yours..

like it!

[Barack_America]

20. Thanks!

I figured, what the hell, why not?

[MadBadger]

17. See, I like to shorten people's names

So Id always call you Kristi...I dont know if I can call you Barack

[Barack_America]

19. .

You can still call me Kristi, of course.

[OneGrassRoot]

16. LOL! I don't know why....

but your answer just made me laugh out loud. Thanks for that!

As for the OP, I guess I never pronounced it in my head before. Now, however, I shall hear "hem and hoof" when I see your name.

4. I always think 'h-stuff',

I never really figured out a pronunciation for it.

[polichick]

5. I just see a bunch of consonants. :)

[Condem]

6. Both, hnmnf.

Nothing wrong with your name.

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

7. I read it like "Hmmph"

I kinda like it too...fwiw

[Ikonoklast]

9. Dude. Buy a vowel.

Problem solved.

[PBS Poll-435]

23. LOL

[livvy]

10. I have a habit of changing/adding letters in my head when it suits me...

and I've done that with your name. I always think "hrumph", you know like in harrummppphhh.

By the way, I always liked your name, if that's any help!

[Duer 157099]

12. I do that too. I see "HR Puffinstuff" (or something lke that)

I mostly don't even notice usernames

[pnwmom]

14. More like the first option. n/t

[HughMoran]

15. I think "harumph"

...or something like that. It develops a negative sound in my head when your on one of your "annoying binges"

[GreenPartyVoter]

18. I mispronounce it as hm-n-mph. Misread it the first time I ever saw it and it

kinda stuck.

[JerseygirlCT]

21. I don't sound it out at all - it just goes in as a picture of letters... nt

[Raine]

25. Same here

I never really have thought about how it should be pronounced.

[Arugula Latte]

22. I used to get you confused with hvot...whatchamacallitwhozit

You know, the super religious person. that's funny, 'cuz you guys are opposite on that score. You're in my corner.

[ZombieHorde]

24. I usually don't look at user names, I do notice avatars.

[Occam Bandage]

26. I think of it as pronounced "hnnf,"

with the lips closed and the "h" aspirated through the nose.

[stahbrett]

27. hmmmf

[rug]

28. Change it to mxyzptlk.

[Lilith Velkor]

29. Huh-numb-enough.

Real quicklike.
