Was a choice between Mark & Luke for my name according to my parents. Thank the sweet mother of Jesus they chose Mark. We were at a country public house one summer having a few drinks and some food sitting in the courtyard when all of a sudden we heard, "LOOK, LOOOOOK"......., everyone at the place was "looking" everywhere to see what was going on......, then we see this guy run past, "LOOOOOK LOOK"......, he was chasing a toddler called Luke. Total embarrassing nightmare of a name. Apologies to any Lions Luke's.

For quite a long time, I’m only registered on English speaking forums and at the beginning I used to use my real first name “Nuno” but since one English forumite said that it was the most annoying nickname to pronounce on the forum I started to use the nickname Septem.
I have 4 names, in Portugal usually it is like that, 2 first ones, and 2 last ones (mother and father last name) and some people have 5 or even 6. Stupid thing IMO, 2 names would be enough. From those 4 names I think only the last one would be suitable to use in a English forum: Nuno Tiago Prata Martins. It resembles a bit with Martin.Gamer dad, like a normal dad, only much cooler / Gamers don't die they respawn

Like most I was expecting the Lions to be more of a contender this yr. So was last yr a fluke? Hi I'm vltrophyXLV. I'm originally from IN. Moved to MS. in 2000 & then up here to Green Bay WI to work at Lambeau Field. Yes I'm a die hard Packers fan & enjoy a good football game. Football isn't the only sport I like but it is my #1 sport. Lookin forward to interacting.Comment

Welcome trophy. What do you do at Lambeau Field?Comment

Nahh...English spoken people really have a hard time pronounce it right...when they try to, it sounds like a double negative..."Nono" and it's far from sounding like that...Originally posted by bimmer84 View Post

Wellcome trophy, hope you have fun around until next Sunday night!Gamer dad, like a normal dad, only much cooler / Gamers don't die they respawn

Septem, I've always wondered, what's the deal with Portuguese (and especially Brasillian) football players with the one word names? Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, etc.Lions free since 6/23/2020Comment

I am probably not pronouncing it correctly then because it seems like it would be "new-no" which is not difficult at all. Tiago is good too.

The thing is even we have 4, 5 or 6 names we tend to refer people only by one of them. English spoken people usually refer to people by the two they have in most of situations... here only when it comes to work or more non casual situations and when introducing ourselves we use the first and last one...Originally posted by Frank Van Dusen View Post
Brazilian players sometimes even don’t use their real names, sometimes they are called by a nickname that sticks, and that’s what appears on their shirts.
@Tony and bimmer: Both parts of the name are pronounced with a closed? sound…look what I found, click on the link and hear my name, even tough sounding a bit like a zombie speaking hehe:
So more like Nuuunuuuu.Last edited by Septem; December 8, 2012, 03:24 PM.Gamer dad, like a normal dad, only much cooler / Gamers don't die they respawn
