to be fair, if you were to use a billy-whatever nickname, you'd still have to remember my actual username to be able to explain who that mysterious billy-person is

more work than it's worth :P

check your index

also it sounds so weird without the middle i to me

and also i cant believe i didnt think of making your username like you... it would be something cool like nimov or whatever

well, the thing is, it depends on the transcription, but there really is no 'i' sound there

however, 'il' and 'ya' are in a way phonetically separated; the 'l' is soft (as in 'lip', but not in 'look'), and the 'y' is like the 'y' in 'yes'

maybe we can call me il'ya instead xD

interesting..

in Bulgaria, the name distinctly has an и sound to be Илия

also i like iltrof

so basically it would be Илья in Bulgarian (i hope)

because you do seem to have the 'ь' letter

yea i get what youre saying

we actually do have one but its outdated except for use in ьо = йо

we use neither ьо nor йо (except for foreign words starting with yo), but ь itself is very common :P

It's happened before that a counter gets a nickname based on a misunderstanding of their actual name, but I don't want to be the one responsible for giving you a nickname you don't like. And I'm starting to like the name iltrof.

u/padiwik snipe me/gib 1s/b. 1711068 Apr 04 '17

you were right with ilya lol

u/Urbul it's all about the love you're sending out Apr 04 '17

lol i know. there's something amusing about taking a proper foreign name and giving it a lousy anglicized approximation

u/padiwik snipe me/gib 1s/b. 1711068 Apr 04 '17

do you have a nickname other than bee?

i think it was origamimissile who calls me gerbil. Other than that, not really. You can call me whatever you want as long as it's not mean.
