Well, my real life name is Morten, and the change to Morty went like this:
Morten (the start)
Mor10 (in English, Mor-TEN)
Mor10 (in Norwegian, Mor-TI)
Morty (modified version of Morti)
I might be a bit extreme on this, but I'm actually thinking of changing my real name, from Morten Endre to Morty André... Most of my friends (and some of my relatives) call me Morty, and I think Morty André sounds better than my current name...
I might put up a poll on this actually (but not in this thread)

I think it is not necessary to explain from where does my nickname come 
BTW My name is Daniel Alvarez, but I want to change my surname... Something like Daniel Schumacher, or Daniel Speedster, or Daniel Larusso
or... Daniel Shan
nah seriously.... Other good names would be Dani-el-Capone.. or Dani Skywalker.... and Daniel Coolman
_______
the 'é' sounds stronger than the simple 'e'
It is a sign used very often in Spanish language. that sign makes the vowel to sound stronger...
I mean... 'Andre' would sound like ANdre , while 'André' would sound like AnDRE... taking more emphasis the latest part of the word. Do you get it? Its not easy to explain with words... LOL.

I'm not gonna change my surname, since those are the places my grandparents come from. Bjerknes is from my mother's side, and Gjerde from my father... And the concern for my relatives is why I haven't changed name yet, I'm not sure what my dad would say (he likes more traditional names). Morten is from my mother's father (Markus), and Endre is from my mother's mother (Ellen). So how can I do the change without ruining my family? Well, my grandmother had a middle name, Andrea... 
And based on the pronouncing differences, I think I might go for Andre, not André, but on the other hand, I'm not sure if the pronouncing difference is the same in Norwegian... No one said this was gonna be easy
S2000_Skyline: Try this (if your keyboard is similar to mine):
For ä, ë, ï, ö, ü: press the ¨/^/~ button and then the letter.
For á, é, Ã, ó, ú: press Ctrl+Alt+\ and then the letter.
For à , è, ì, ò, ù: press Shift+\ and then the letter.
Or, run charmap.exe

I don't know really, I learned German for 5 years, and I still suck at it... I guess I had the wrong focus when I learned it, focusing on grammar instead of stuff that would help me understand and be understood...^Sparco^ wrote:§þå????? ???Þ? �ã???å
Nice!!!
/me loves Norwegian names and the language itself. I want to learn!!!
Would be a good idea to learn German 1st? I only Speak Spanish Engliah and a bit of French. I am good at langauges. My mother teaches German, thats why I ask

Ahh...yeah...My username is pretty random..."Jacoja06"
Well first, it was the username which I used for the School I just left,..'Jaco' as part of my Surname, "Ja" from the "Ja" of my name 'James'
, and the "06" is from the year in which we leave school (2006).
Everyone in our class had to do this, and since I got it from when I was in year 3, It has always been my everyday username.
So if any of my classmates from my old school, decide to look through NFSUnlimited.net, and they find me, then they will know exacly who I am!
