But that isn't Sakaki, that's just a voice actress?

Why is she using a name like Julia320?

She uses Twitter to learn English a bit. I fallow it. It's funny to see her go through depression every other week. She likes Resident Evil a lot, too.

>>222988
Yeah, I gathered that, but... Julia?

>>222989

I'm not familiar enough with the phonemes myself to say, so I'll ask: How is "julia" pronounced in traditional Japanese? What, if any, English phonemes in this order don't have Japanese equivalents.

Many Asian girls pick an English name when they are learning English, especially with native speakers. And they don't mind picking names that other Asian girls have picked. Which explains why there are a gazillion middle-aged Korean women named "Sue" here in Los Angeles.

Or maybe Yuu liked the Beatles song "Julia." Or something. The 320 part is for her birthday 3/20.

As always, the Japanese use the hard r, so Ju-li-a (accent on Ju) becomes Ju-ri-a, (no accents).

I think I should stop acting like a faggot and propose to Azuma.

So, it's kind of like when weeaboos use RyusukexXxSephiroth.

It's true about the Korean thing. I had a boss from Korea and was like 'wtf you're name is really Jessica?'. At first, I thought it was just a general Americanize thing so they have distinguishable names as opposed everyone being called "Kim", but from I've seen from Korean programs, that ain't so...

>>222996
I was just thinking the same thing. If a white person tries to give themselves a Japanese sounding name it comes off as incredibly weeaboo, but I guess if an attractive Japanese woman does the opposite, it's okay...

Actually, come to think of it, I know an Asian IT guy from a company that I do business with whose name is Yue, but he goes by Brian. Weird. I guess it's easier for people to pronounce?

>>222997 At my old college I had a ton of classes with chinese students. Over half of them used "american" names, though you could pretty easily ask them for their real name if you felt like it. I didn't personally pay attention to it, generally if you ask me to call you something, I'm going to. If you want to be Joe, I'm not really going to care, regardless of your real name. Perhaps that's just the internet warping my mind, but honestly names have very little meaning to me other then a method to help identify an individual.

>>222994

That's it? Huh. I was trying to draw a parallel between the pronunciation of that name and her real one, but I guess there wasn't one. Thanks.

>>222999
I don't see that happen very often, anyway. Most Japanese people use romaji for their names keep it pretty simple, really.

>moot has the hots for the manliest of the azumanga girls

if wish he would finally come out of the closet. he may as well have tried to marry the kamineko delivery company guy

Didn't she show up at Otakon or NYAniFest?
He should have hooked up with her there, but instead moot goes out of his way to meet the creator of Touhou.
Then again, that's what makes moot moot!

So she did things like this and her English is pretty good, well much better than Osaka's Oh Mah GAH!

I've worked with a lot of Asian graduate students and just like Fireball said, it's common for them to use Western names when studying or working in the west. I've known Korean, Chinese, Thai, and Japanese students who have all done this. From those who I knew it seemed they only did it when their real names were difficult to prononunce in English. The students who had simple-to-pronounce names simply used their real name. Those with complicated names all used English "nicknames".

When I was in 2nd grade there was this Japanese kid in my class named Yasutaka, but I came to find out several years later that once he got to junior high he had started going by "Yoshi" since Yasutaka was too hard for people. At least Yoshi kind of made sense as a nickname though. It wasn't like he stated going by Carl, or Steve.

Maybe he just really like Yoshi from Super Mario World
