    Thanks for that! I wasn't sure if it was a name or you were just trying for something unique! Looks like you scored on both accounts

    Well, the first (nopycckn) is actually pronounced Pa Russki (two words read as one). In Russian, it would be порусски (meaning: in Russian).

    Indeed, saying No-Pis-Kun is hard, so the correct pronunciation would have made it easier for others to pronounce the former one.

    As for rokytnji, In Russian, I would call it "Gaw Kootp" if I read the last two letters as the Tvyordi Znahk!

    Silly me... I thought it was some leet-speak phonetic spelling for the phrase: "no peeking".

    I don't know leet speak. A long time ago I used to do the letter-number replacement ... l1k3 th1s
    but only when I was talking to a person I talked to on here years ago, and in a chat room we were in. I've never really understood why people do that so often, though.

    Also, I didn't choose the name Jeff Goldblum to be an annoyance or anything, either. I chose it for more than one reason. I posted something about it in the comments and feedback section, because I was wondering if using the name of another person or a famous person would get someone upset or anything along those lines.
