Yiuel Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Well, I've seen it was common for people to call me in those posts **Yieul (It's even in my profile in 0AD...), but my nickname actually is Yiuel, coming from Yiu-El, and backwards from U-L (pronouce them), hence from my real name Ugo Lachapelle... And Yieul is so ugly to my ears, since it is close to Quebec French Yeule, from French Gueule, meaning "jaws"... Hehe, would like to understand why so much people use Yieul...

Lorian Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Guess it's easy to confuse, like Klaas. Maybe I should change my nick to Seees... I don't think that would work lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Op Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Meh, you think you got problems? Timbo to this day still capitalizes the "P" in Black Op, making it Black OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quacker Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 People call me a quaker. I don't give a crap. I almost called you Yieul via a typo in a post, but corrected it. Don't worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_08 Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Was I getting your nick right Yieul? (jk )Some People call me "Red". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirindu Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Surprisingly enough, I've found that people seldom misspell "Sirindu". Once I saw someone say "Sirindo", lol, but that's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnas Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 And somehow, some people call me Dan, lol. Actually, on my own message board, I once got a PM that said nothing but, "Hi Dan".(My name is David, not Dan.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yiuel Posted January 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Hehe. I knew someone in times way before I ever came here, that called me Yiu (from the first part of Yiu-El, the old form of Yiuel.) I had an interesting talk with a friend of mine regarding nicknames. Could they eventually evolve to become our real names? I for example could be called Yiuel without any problem. I would even be honoured to be called so. Other possible nicknames are :MelvilleLeMelvillois (my actual pseudopatronym)Dunumij (This being from the fact I am the inventor of Thenqol, not because of RPT II, BO )Tama (the actual Japanese translation of my name : family name would be Kodera (Lachapelle) or Kitashima (LeMelvillois)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_08 Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Hehe, it wouldn't work that great for me to be called "red" for the rest of my life IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yiuel Posted January 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 In fact, it could be a great name, Red having a lot of connotations. In Japanese culture, it is the color of brightness, intelligence, vivid and everything positive. The sun is drawn red by a Japanese, never yellow (as we see it in Occident). In our Occidental culture, it has connotations of fierciness and courage, but also killing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_08 Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 I guess you're right. I'd just have a hard time adjusting from being called Josh (or even Joshy Squashy by my mom ) to Red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yiuel Posted January 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 I'm also sometimes referred as Yuu-chan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_08 Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Yuu-chan?What is the meaning?I could guess the Y, but that was about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yiuel Posted January 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 This comes from the normal rendering of my name in Japanese :Yuugo Rasyaperu (UGLY! but really close to how I actually pronouce my name in English)In Japanese, a diminutive is created with "-chan" in front of your name (or a debased form of it, here Yuu).So, Yuu-chan... This is used by a friend I call Mii-chan (her name is Emilie, Emiri in Japanese) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EKen132 Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 from French Gueule, meaning "jaws"... As in "ta gueule"? And I'm curious to know... just how bad are the connotations of saying that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sukkit Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 I'll take this chance to point out that my name is not English... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yiuel Posted January 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Sukkit : Hehehe Orthography is great help! Yiuel isn't French Eken : As in "ta gueule". Here in Quebec, the closest expression I' ve ever heard in English is "Shut the f* up." Shut up is rendered as "Ferme la". Yieul seems to close to "Ta yeule" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
