HelpRe: Opinions on the name "Wolvin"?
in reply to a message by wolvin
Where I am from, this means “eating quickly and without manners.” Might as well name yourself Shriekin or Scarfin. I really hate this name, but I can see that people wouldn’t want to offend you so they wouldn’t say anything.
Why not just legally change your name to Vin or Vinny? Most people would never associate those names with Wolverine. Plus they are actual names and less likely to be confused. I guess I don’t understand why you want a nickname for your nickname.
It’s your life. Do what you want.

"Wolvin"'s association to "Wolfing" has literally never been an issue until I posted it on this message board. Nobody I know in real life has ever mentioned it, despite going by it for years. Only the "Wolverine" similarities have been mentioned. Definitely an issue I didn't expect to see I guess.
Despite everything, I don't actually mind it sounding like "wolfing" that much. People act like it's the worst thing ever yet... I don't really care? I mean, I like the way that it sounds, and to me it's never sounded too similar. Then again I have a bit of a weird accent so, who knows.
As for why I don't change my name to Vin or Vinny is simply that I dislike nickname names. I was born with one and I hated it my entire life. I've always preferred full names that get shortened into nicknames.

I think my post was misinterpreted because I said I go by "Vin" or "Vinny" as nicknames. Plenty of people still call me Wolvin. Sorry if it didn't read that way haha
Oh, gotcha! :)
