I don't know why, but every time I try to pronounce your last name, I end up saying corn flakes. Maybe it's some sort of subliminal messaging!
*stomach grumbles* ...okay maybe not all that subliminal. Hmm hmmm... |

It sounds a bit like something you'd order at a Jewish deli somewhere in Greece, but as far as I'm concerned, that's a good thing

I like your name. It's really unique, and easy for me to spell, Xlopos. Six letters long like mine too.

How do you say it? Xlopos Knopfli
I'm reading it aloud as ex-lo-pos kuh-noff-lee. If it had a Y as in Xylopos, I'd say it as sigh-lo-pos. Mostly likely, people will just call you X. That's not a bad abbreviated version of it. Or XL. And if you plan on pimpin the name, XL kinda sounds pimpy. _____________________

It's fine. Don't think your name is stupid or what.
Want stupid? In another game, a mage named "Swordsman" ... and that's just the tippy tippy top of the iceberg. |

It's not wierd at all, it's exotic and memorable. I started out the same way, thinking that my name was kinda wierd, but I've grow to love it... it's one of a kind. Same with yours, I doubt there'll be any duplicates.

Hey Xlo, when I first joined I wanted to change my name too, but things went as usual and now I don't mind it. Also if there are people spamming name lists in the search function, I bet you'll be the last to get spammed, and maybe they will be too tired to get down to the X's.

No, it's great!
Next time they're taking calls from the public, make sure to make one, and let Philip figure out how to pronounce it |

I pronounce it with silent X, K & P. Lo-pos Nof-li I pronounce the X like a Z (such as in Xylophone, Xenophobe, or Xochielt). _____________________
