Chit-Chat: In which we welcome back Shining Raichu from his extended vacation

Yeah, I've come to realise in English might sound a bit girlish because of the "nina" inside. But I'll have to keep it since username changes are not allowed XD

But it's not that tricky, it's "Arcaninex" which is my real username just written from the end.

Let's not get into the US's stupid use of measurements now... ugh.

you have to realize that all these "measurements" are all based off of random things, right?

Xenin I think it sounds more feminine because of the use of the -a at the end. :P Not many popular guy's name I can think of end in A.

You're right there, the only one I can think of now is Luca (Italian for Luke, I think) xD

Hmmm...does "Jonah" count? Doesn't end with A in spelling but phonetically it's the same concept. I know of a few people with the name.

EDIT: For the record, Xenin, your username's pretty neutral to me~

Or maybe Morgana Freemana…?

Many Hebrew words end with an "ah" sound/spelling, so I wouldn't say that counts :p

Gah. Silly me and my limited knowledge. But I think unless you name your kid Llama or Obama (neither of which I highly recommend, bc animal name and last name, respectively) there aren't that many options.

Gorka (George) and Joseba (Joseph) are common in the north of Spain. Also Borja and Mahoma (Muhammad).

Oh, and Joshua.

In addition, Nicola and Andrea, both Italian or Ezra, which is Hebrew. It turned out that there are more A-ending names than we thought lol

And thanks ThatWhiteKid haha

Well I'm talking about in my area. Obviously I can't speak for names that are in other languages and across the ocean. XD Forgot about Joshua though.

Not a problem. But don't get too comfortable; I throw out compliments like candy on the Independence Day.

Why do (American) English names have to sound so generic while everywhere else all the names sound unique? Although, when you think about it, we take most of our names from a lot of other languages, and a lot of those names are just variations of our own and vice versa. (Sorry about my insightfulness. Can't help but be a nerd~) Oh, and yeah, I forgot about Joshua.

*has two cousins named Joshua*

(EDIT: tried to edit Fourth of July to Independence day, accidentally hit the Like button. I'm a walking fail.)

Nicola and Andrea are both female names o_o

I think Nicola's neutral. Tesla, anyone?

Also, I wish I was Mahoma. -_-;

Well, it depends between languages I suppose. Tesla's name was Slavic, and was spelled with a "k" instead of a "c" (friggin reports stickin info-mation in mah head).

And I second Mahoma. To the max.

I just read this page as well as the last- I assume you're talking about names? I can't really tell haha.

Apparently my middle name is difficult to pronounce. It was almost amusing to watch my friend struggle to say it. The spelling just throws people off, I guess, because it's really not hard to say. :?

My middle name's weird in the sense that it's pronounced the same as "Reese" but it's spelled weird bc Welsh heritage. Idk family name (I'm a "the Third").

I assumed there was nothing unusual with my middle name. Then Colin Powell came along and provided a whooooooole new pronunciation for it!

I'm welsh.

Assuming you're a 'Rhys' then.

My full name is way too long and I hate it because of that. I can't even say which part of it is the middle name.
