Hotaru, eh? That's Japanese, correct? You're from Osaka, right? I knew you weren't really from Saturn!

Yes, my name is Japanese. What makes you think I'm not from Saturn?

Originally posted by EMINEM:
BTW, how do you pronounce Hotaru? Is the accent on the "o" or on the "a?"

"Hot-aru," or "Hotar-u?"

Neither. Japanese doesn't put emphasis in the same was English does. You don't put emphasis by increasing the "force" with which you say the word.

Approximate spelling of pronunciation: "Hoe-tah-rue"

People often mispronounce my name, though.

I wouldn't worry about it, my mum consistently mispronounces mine as well, even though it is only mark

Well my mother in law peristently calls my d/h by his fathers name, and my son by my d/h's name. I am lucky - she calls me the same thing all the time...

At least she is consistant - after all these years

ROFL... Are you allowed to say that?

I didn't see, anything saying that wanker couldn't be said.

Sorry for using profanity on the forum, Buck. I'll understand if you ban me. I looks like I offended someone. Have a good night all.

Mock? Mar? Mare?

My parents don't usually mispronounce my name, as long as they remember what my name is. They often call me "Zebhota"(our cat's name is "Zebedee") or "Benjota"(our dog's name is Benji).

Things I've been called:
Hoteru~means Hotel
Hotara~Stupid teachers...
Whoretaru~I'm not sure if this was on purpose or accidental

"Hot-are-you"~Stupid teachers and annoying brats...
Hutaro~Stupid teachers...
Hetaru~Stupid teachers...
Hetaro~Stupid teachers...
Heteru~Stupid teachers...
Hetero~Stupid teachers...

I've also been given the nickname "Hottie" by some of my friends.

Wow, you all have real names?! And here I thought you were just sentient A.I. meant to entertain and enlighten me on this message board!

Seriously, since most of you have been forthcoming enough to give out your real names (at least I'm assuming you've been honest

) I shall follow suit. My name is Nathan (Invariably shortened to Nate by friends and family).

"Hottie!" I LIKE that! Please forward a photograph of yourself to roryjames@hotmail.com. I... I just want to see if my account is still active. Yeah, that's it. 'Can't be too sure with those Microsoft dudes.

Nathan, eh? Long form, I suppose that translates into Nathaniel. I never would have guessed the Emperor of the Klingons would have such a name so... unassuming.

Emperor of the Klingons, ne? I don't think Kayless is the correct spelling. I think it is Kehless, but I am not positive on this. Nathan is a cool name, though.
