I'm not billie, dammit!

In the early days, I would be “bill” on the bbs’s. When the Internet came around, I would be “billh”. Nowadays, the only unique name I can get everywhere is “billehunt”, and I like having one name I use everywhere. In another year, when all the other Bill E. Hunt’s pop out of the woodwork, I’ll have to settle for “billehuntfromsanjoseoriginallyfromsandiegowithbrownhairandblueeyes”.

So, it’s “Bill”, please. Not Billie or Billy. My grandparents still call me that, but they’re 85 and they’ve earned it. You haven’t!

Thank you for your cooperation. You may return to your homes now. There’s more nothing to see here.

You should never call billehunt “Billie.”
If you do, he might slap you silly.
He’s hoping you will,
Just call him “Bill.”
Stop shortening his name willy-nilly!

Bill, have you ever thought of just changing your handle to something like “BillHunt?” Or “Bill E. Hunt?” It would solve your problems, since nobody would be confused by your name.

Just a suggestion.

No offense intended, but when I see you handle, I think, “Bile Hunt”.

Just thought I would let you know…

Personally, I’ve always pronounced it “sea lemon” but then I’m easily confused.

Squee, I kinda like that, “BileHunt”. If I ever go for a pseudo-name, I might pick that.

Zion, of course you’re right. Thing is, if I did that I wouldn’t be able to whine any more.

I suppose I should watch my act when Billy’s around cause we live in the same city…

Just kidding, you are Bill only, please don’t get too worked up on this. :slight_smile:

So that’s “billehunt,” pronounced “Can-theer-ya,” right?

Whatever, Billie.

Nice to know I’m not the only one.

I always pronounce it “Mike Hunt”.
Is it just me?

At the risk of feeding some insult, I don’t get this. Is it an insult? Or a joke that’s just a few inches over the scalp?

Don’t shake your jujubes, Bill – AFAIK it’s just a joke substituting another poster’s name for yours.

Cantherya, who evidently is perhaps just a teeny bit touchy about how it’s pronounced? I dunno, I’m a stranger here myself.

Basically, the point is that we’ve already pretty much gone over every possible original idea on this board and now we’re just recycling old ones. It’s all inside jokes from here on out.

Bill, your post reminded andros and myself of other posters in the past (Canthearya and Sealemon) who complained that people were unable to figure out the correct way to pronounce their usernames.
