OCs whose name/pronouns people always get wrong

Posted 5 years, 3 months ago (Edited 5 years, 3 months ago) by fuelli

Show me your characters whose name and/or pronouns people always get always wrong! Because we all know that's the kind of thing that happens, be it on the website itself (esp. forum games), off-site, or even in real-life! Are some characters of yours more prone to this than others, and why/how? And how do you usually reacts when it happens?


Silorind endiria

"silerin" "silodrin" "silirond"

Jarkko Jeppesen stingrayqueen

It's more that nobody knows how to pronounce his name

Rollup PepperoniDrizzle

It's not too uncommon for someone to use he/him pronouns for Rollup, even though their pronouns are they/them. But I'm like. Not good at talking and not confrontational enough correct them :(

Blasire Angi_

They get misgendered and called "she/her" here and then even tho they are only comfortable with they/them

Altair Groxx

They get "He/Him'd" a lot by people, Which I 100% understand, But I always feel weirdly bad about correcting them lol

Mayna Welle hagalaz

it isn't myna it isn't maynard it isn't mai-na its MAY-NUH 

It's been like years since people called her the stuff above tho. So that's good

Conium Mutonian

Her, she’s just like me. Has basically no tits, boyish in the face, built like a rectangle. She constantly gets mistaken for a dude, it’s very silly to me but I understand. She’s not even transgender, and neither am I. We’re both ‘cis’.

Sage du Pont eanx

ITS ALWAYS SAGE!! it could be because sage has a lot more feminine attributes than masculine, because they're often mistaken as a girl and it happens so much i don't even bother correcting people anymore 

Lumi_fins

Angel and Casey have been misgendered as feminine quite a bit. Like sure, Angel's gaia ref looks a little feminine ig and Casey has long hair, but the most baffling part is that they're the ones that get misgendered the most despite the fact that a lot of my characters have more gnc presentations.

I've also had Myria's name pronounced a bunch of different ways: 'MY-ruh' 'MIR-uh' 'my-REE-uh', 'muh-REE-uh' etc. It's supposed to be 'MIR-ee-uh' like myriapod 😭

Grisha flatworld

my ocs' names dont get misspelled a lot, since theyre mostly not that difficult, but i have a friend who always misspells "grisha" as "grishna" (probably because of krishna, the hindu god of protection)

another thing that happens is i keep misspelling fairyland alice's name as "fairlyland alice". i dont know why

Keiko Sal-burn AHelpfulName

A bit ago when I started to rp online, a few times people mistaked Keiko for a guy bc of her hair. She uses she/her only hdhd plus some people also say her name wrong it’s “kay-ko” but people sometimes say “key-ko” 

Zaiere ScheloftheSea

mistaken for a girl more times than once and sometimes have seen she/her used for them
