I know a few people called Ian myself.<br>I'm Michael, which is common ofc, but the amount of people that still manage to transpose the a and the e and come up with 'Micheal' is phenomenal.

Well, 'Ian' would be more common in the U.K. than the U.S.

When I called up Sharp tech support for the status on my smashed up Zaurus, the operator mispronounced my name. It's supposed to be spoken with a long a vowel sound, like in "tape", but he pronounced it like in "apple". He then went on to explain he has a friend with that name but the other pronounciation.. Weird. I've met a couple people online that know a Tavis, but oddly enough never met any of them myself. Very strange.

Tavis is your real name? I've never heard of such a name. I've heard of Travis of course, but never a Tavis. I was named after my father, and his father, so my name is fairly unique, Leo.

My brother-in-law is named Tavis, but with the short 'a' (apple) pronounciation.

Yeah, it's a common theme for my "Out Of Character" avatars. Hanging out while the action plays out for everyone else.

I'm positive that's the frog from Totoro.

And I know it is not, Iyestorm. I personally pulled it straight from a screencap of the movie it was in. Funny moment too.. In the animated version, the wheels of an 18-wheeler were passing it from left to right in the foreground as a less fortunate main character was getting run over and making all sorts of funny squeak-toy sounds.

leave it to anime to have squeeky toy noises when someone gets run over by an 18 wheeler.
If you've done things right, people won't be sure if you've done anything at all.
