I`ve always been partial to 勅使河原 (because it`s one of those few 4 character family names) and 志賀 for various reasons.

Our family name is 矢部 - I`m sort of indifferent to it. It irritates the crap out of me to have to clarify how to say it when we`re out of Japan. Everyone tries to read it as one syllable with a long A. Argh.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.

I laughed out loud when I read that. So they read it to rhyme with 'babe', yeh?

I once had a deep Southerner read my full name in romaji, and man, he read all the 7 vowels wrong....and looong!

Yes, that is exactly how they read it.
It`s incredibly frustrating. I`ve been asked "Like Abe Lincoln with a Y?" even AFTER clarifying the pronunciation.

*sigh*

Nope - at least not that we know of. Although thanks to him our nicknames are ALWAYS やべっち.
