Writer's Block: A rose by any other name

[iamashamed]

[Error: unknown template qotd]
Mine's Louise, and although it's pronounced differently in Danish(Lou-eez-uh), I actually like the English pronunciation better; in real life still use the Danish pronunciation, though. I would never want to change my name to another one, because names are names, and I don't feel like that's a decision I want to make; If other people choose to do that it's their business, of course.

ETA: The first one is pretty much how my name sounds in Danish: http://www.forvo.com/word/louise_bourgeois/,

and here: http://www.forvo.com/word/louise_de_lorraine-vaud%C3%A9mont/.

Oh wow... so it's even prettier. I'm dumb, I didn't even think of how Louise would sound with a Danish accent.

It's kind of how we call Americans tend to call Anne Frank "Ann Frahnk" instead of the way she and her family pronounced it "Ohna Fronc".

Dude, how could you know? It's not like I've ever showed you how to pronounce it!

[alivemagdolene.livejournal.com]

I'm all about accents-- you heard how I pronounced your name in the video meme. :^P Had I known, I would've said it the even prettier way.

haha,aww, I don't think it's prettier to be honest.

D: I have been pronouncing your name wrong! But you like it? I suppose that makes it okay...

I don't know what I would change my name to. I don't really like my name (Kristen, able to be spelled too many ways). I guess I would want something more unisex and less feminine.

Haha, but how were you to know? I do, I think it sounds better than the Danish way to pronounce it, haha.

Hmmm. You could shorten it to Kriss? Then it's kind of unisexy like.

[themistoklis]

That is true.

Hmm. I may have to think about that.

That's my mother's middle-name. :D I always thought it was pretty.

My name's fairly common here, so I always go by my last (Tikky).

Tikky! I love that.
