I've never been good at finding a good username and always had problems addressing someone as "something or another" so I wanted to use my real given name. BUT, cedillas are not accepted and if I write my name without it, it is pronounced FRANK-OAZ -- OUACH!!! Written like it is supposed to be FRANISE, it is pronounced FRANSS-OAZ but I know no English speaking person who is able to pronounce the AN part correctly. So I settled for my nickname FRANCE but when I first registered here, it was already taken (although I've never read any message from another France) so I used my middle initials (Marie Isabelle) and it ended up as FRANCE-M-I (Francemi). My real surname (ROY) means KING in English. And I also thought Kiesel was pronounced like Diesel. ;o)
