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).

You're talking to famous Irish scatologist Shat O'Kun right now

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.
