My rl name starts with Chat and I introduce myself as such most places. It's pronounced differently though, since it's based on a French word. The Ch has an Sh sound. And yes, I know what that sounds like...

Actually the t is silent so it's SHA in french

SHAT would be for female cat but really means pussy

You're welcome.

A classic weeb, but the French version

Ah, I mentioned it's shortened. My name is Chatoyer:

Etymology. From French chatoyant, present participle of chatoyer (“to iridesce, like a cat's eye”), from chat (“cat”, because of the reflective qualities of a cat's eye).

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 months ago

My name is based off the cat thing though. Chatoyer, chatoyant, chatoyancy, all based off of cats eye.

And pussy is better than how it sounds in e glish, so ty :P

You know what it sounds like, but you still introduce yourself as such?

We should party.

"chato" also means boring or annoying in portuguese.
