Gatopescado - I always think “gazpacho” or “gotta-p’scada”  
Hostile Dialect - Hostile Direct  
Ghanima - enima (sorry)  
Litoris - well, for some odd reason I picture someone who reads a lot!  
WF Tomba - WTF Tuba

many people mistake mine for pixelated - which is soooo not the same.

There’s one name here that I always see as ASKAMOD. I don’t even know what the real name is. I always think, “Ok- do you get your jackboots at a group discount?”
