Name ramble

Hi, my name is Miyahcore.

Names are weird.

Let's discuss.

Gaylord.

Gaylord is a name, probably a name somebody didn't choose and violently hates, but a name nonetheless. Crazy how parents can look at a child and name them Gary and think nothing of it. Nothing against Gary's, every Gary I've met definitely looked like and acted like a Gary. Yes, including the snail. My point is it seems unfair that you don't get to chose your own name. It seems unfair that it's picked for you, and more so that if you don't like it it's taboo to change it.

I know in some cultures names are picked when you reach a certain age, or you grow into a name that's chosen for you and represents something, and I'm not bashing that way of life. If you like it, I love it, as they say. If your name is Bart and you wear a shirt that says "I'm Bart and I'm proud" I'm so happy for you.

However this one is for the cowards that hate their names but don't wanna change them for fear of backlash.

I'm cheering for you from the sidelines, I hope you find something you like eventually.

The name Wolfgang is SO hardcore, there are people named Valentine, or Nova I really like that one. Then on the other end of the spectrum people name their kids after countries.

After LAND MASSES?!?!?

I've known too many Asias. Too many Indias, too many Kenyas.

Stop naming kids random words. I can't speak much here because my kid sibling's name is a random word and for MOST of her life it didn't fit her.

AT ALL. She was not calming or relaxing, she did not fit well with other things, no matter what those things were. She was running, jumping, kicking landlords, and licking candy so no one else wanted any!!

Every Mercy, Hope, Honor, Serenity, Faith, and Grace were MEAN. They were ROTTEN and EVIL bro. Except like one.

I know every name is just a random collection of syllables because language itself is just random sounds that someone regionally gave meaning to, however these names get ridiculous.

Rileigh, Reilley, Riley, Rilee, Rylee, Rhiley, STOP PLEASE GOD-

Why are we spelling names like they're gamer tags and they CANNOT be the same as anyone elses?? I work at a place where I encounter strange names all the time, it never fails to shock me.

All this to say: When someone asks me if my name is embarrassing. My answer is no. It's nowhere near as embarrassing as having a common name spelled really... uniquely.

To all the people with normal* names who still can't find their name on a cup, please feel the pain of every child who isn't named Sara, Sarah, Evan, or Lily, trying to find a souvenir.

*By normal I mean white. Not exactly white, but like, america style biblical decent, everyone in the small town is named Elizabeth and that's how we got: Ellie, Eliza, Liz, Liza, Lisa, Beth, and Betty. When you think about it no name is really "normal" I would say regionally common at most? Even if you are Sarah. Sarah living on a remote island probably wouldn't be a common name. Although according to .2 seconds of google research. Muhammed, Maria, and Nushi are worldwidely very common, however their website looks EXTREMELY unreliable :]

Okay, we've had our fun. Now unto my selfish reason for making this post:

Situations in which I fantasize about people saying my name...

I often think about how people would react to my name in public. Of course I do, people stare at me and yell things at me WITHOUT knowing how gay my name sounds, wait until they get a load of this.

It's more "ideas that cross my mind" and less legitimate fantasizing but you get the drift.

okay so it's more like

Situations I think my name would be funny in

(please note, they're listed in no particular order)

1. The doctor, dentist, or any other clinical setting.

First of all they WILL say it wrong. I'm just waiting to be called "me-yahkoer" by some guy in a lab coat. Some people look at the first name, chicken out, then look at the last name. Oh, that's easier to say. It's two words you already know. Go ahead and confidently shout "DotNet" into the waiting room. See what happens.

I can picture every eye in the room landing on my fruity ass sitting in a chair in an outfit much too extravagant for a doctors visit. I always dress up for a doctors visit. These people don't know that. They don't know me. They don't know anything except that's DEFINITLY my name and I definitely picked it out myself.

2. Somewhere full of rich people

I by no means, would be in a room full of rich people for fun, I however do want to try fine dining one day. I can see myself taking my friends and my little camera to a five star somewhere on the road during a road trip. I make a reservation online or over the phone and then we wait. I hate waiting inside of places because, well I don't like when strangers stare at me.

I don't know if this is widely known but I only like attention from people I know. I hate when strangers look at me, it makes me violently angry and uncomfortable. (He do be an enderman tho) I wish sometimes that I could make them stop, without changing the way I dress and behave, if that makes sense? I know I'm a queer rabbit holding a camera and they've never seen that before probably... BUT I SEE IT EVERYDAY SO STOP STARING. I digress, this has just been a PSA that I hate people staring at me.

Anyway

The server calls out my name, presumably by the last name as we're doing fine dining, and I waddle out from the crowd, dressed like I have dinner at 5:45 and sin at 7:30 so I have time to chew slow. Weird gender, weird outfit, weird dog rabbit thing, here to sheepishly ask if they have a kids menu because I'm NOT eating a snail.

I like snails too much :[

3. An award show

I plan on winning at least one award that I get to accept in person. I don't care if I plan it and give the award to myself...(wait that's a good birthday party idea-) I can see the presenter unfolding the little paper and saying my name into the microphone. I know they practiced it backstage and I'm very glad that they pronounced it right. I come up to the mic and say "uhhhhh, thank you!!" and then DASH back to my seat because I'd probably feel very awkward in that situation.

You'd think I'd be practicing a speech instead of thinking about the presenter saying my name.

4. Internet beef

"Mr Princess AKA Miyahcore DotNet is under fire for telling creator (I hate many of them just pick one) "ew I'm leaving, the universe in which we exist in the same room, isn't this one" then walking out with all of the venues strawberries in a cup labeled compensation. The guest list was not public before the party but whoever invited them to the same place was definitely looking for trouble."

HILARIOUS.

5. The news

I apologize now to the broadcaster who will need to say my name with a straight face when I get arrested for a absurd hijinks.

6. On a billboard ​​

I hope I get one at SOME point​​

That​'s all from me

Have the day you deserve <3​
