Yeah, this has been such an established fact that you were a couple here that it's never mentioned ever. You mentioned it in a sentence just casually in the photo thread or something a while ago and I had no idea about it before that.
I guess what I'm trying to say here is thanks for making the stuff you write understandable for the forumers who doesn't attend the meetups/doesn't hang out in meebo.
EDIT: the first place I heard the name Tania/Tanya pronounced were in the red alert games, so it always sounds Russian to my inner ear.
Slick:
The Rs are because that is the peculiar way they pronounce things where they are from. That pronunciation leads in to one of my favorite jokes, wherein you ask someone 'what do you call a dear that can't see?' and they confusedly reply 'No idea' (no idear).

i work for a tanya and we get on pretty well, although it can get really confusing when the shop gets busy and people just start shouting names all over the place at random. they're pronounced slightly differently but it's a little harder to hear from a distance or in a busy shop. we're still trying to work out a better system for this.
personally i don't really care how you pronounce my name but don't think that if you even dare spell it with a "y" instead of an "i" i won't find you and come over and cut you on the face because that is definitely fucking possible

to be fair we did keep it on the down low for a while because we decided we didn't want to risk complications from drama/gossip (not to accuse anyone here, it's just always a reasonable risk when you have all the same friends and they're also all on the same internet) and neither of us were really sure how serious it was actually going to end up being for quite a while, what with the fact that it's been a long distance relationship and basically a fucking marathon for pretty much the entire time. now that it's been like a hundred years and one of us is actually moving to another country it seems pretty silly to do anything else other than just be open about it so there you go.

I'd have thought that my name would be one of the easiest names ever, considering that it's not just a name but also a month, and a verb, but I still get Mae, Mai, Amy etc...

people pronounce the 'h' in Sarah? mind blown
