User blog comment:2Actimv/How do you pronounce that name?/@comment-5454372-20160221145639

Not sure if anyone else does this, but I tend to mentally refer to users by an "image" of the text in their name if I can't figure out a way of vocalising it. I do it a lot in particular with Asian names involving Zi/Kanji that I don't know how to read aloud, but can easily remember how they look (e.g. .一龍一, 乃愛, etc).

...where it gets hilariously awkward is trying to refer to such users when I'm talking to someone else about it. If it's in-text, I can just easily copy-paste the name, but otherwise, I wind up doing all sorts of crazy things if I can't associate any meaning with their names, profile picture, or mannerisms (think "oh hey, it's that crazy waffle-cat lady!").
