DOES YOUR HARD TO PRONOUNCE LUNATIC Geeljire name make your coworkers struggle with it ?

[Jake from State Farm]

I went by a nickname from 3rd grade to 9th grade cause little niggas couldn’t say my name.

Once I reached 10th grade I got fed up and started correcting people.

It’s not really difficult to say. All I have to do is say to someone like twice and they usually get the hang of it from there

@Basra told me that you aren’t actually Somali. But your a Ugandan who was working with Amison for 6 years. That’s how you learned Somali.


Quit with the lies I know your name is amama kaineruga.

@Basra told me you’re a black man from Texas, you used to do security services for Paul wall and slim thug. They fired you after catching you doing dirty things to a chicken leg and BBQ sauce.

It isn’t a white name either.

I can't stand Somalis who use pseudo-Western names that are actually Arabic like Sophia, Yasmin, Sabrina, or Adam.

I hate Somalis who use pseudo-Western names that are actually Arabic like Yasmin, Sabrina, or Adam.

First of it was honey mustard. Second I wasn’t doing anything dirty. I was recording asmr videos. This was before all the hype. I was an innovator.

And I am Somali ask @Gucci mane

I like the Somali pronounciation of my name, even though it’s very difficult for native English speakers, I always politely correct them until it becomes easy for them

 

[Saalax Bidaar]

Nope.


My name is the easiest Somali name!

Sagal?

 

[Gibiin-Udug]

Sagal?

No.... Lol

 

[Saalax Bidaar]

No.... Lol

Are you sure it is Somali and not arabic?

 

[Gibiin-Udug]

Are you sure it is Somali and not arabic?

It’s arabic but only Somalis have it. I’ve never met non-Somali with my name.

 

[Emily]

Well my first and last name are easy to pronounce. (Typical white girl name) My parents changed their last names before they had me. I ain’t complaining, have never faced name discrimination. White folks think I am exotic/mixed and African Americans think I am one of them

 

[Always Lit]

My name is hard for these gaalo to pronounce, i used to tell them my nickname..but as i went to college, i started telling people my first name, they would get it wrong the first few times but get it right after, some never get it.
It's a struggle. A Real one.

But i will give my kids both Arabic and somali names. Im gonna include both names in their birth certificates.
