    I feel like I make it through many fiction books without ever knowing not only how to pronounce some of the names, but almost not pronouncing them to myself at all. Like my brain quickly decides I don’t know that one so, id := gensym() and then it just fills in the gaps.

        This. (I watched a couple of GoT episodes to learn how to pronounce some of the names, in fact.)

        I read audio books, so I’m always wondering how the names are spelled...

        Heh, I am never not reading a novel and I generally can’t name any characters. They’re all just references internally, nodes in a property graph where ‘name’ isn’t very meaningful.

        As much as I acknowledge the detrimental effects of twitter, I'm still enjoying (and getting used to) finally seeing myself in others online.

        I conceptualized a lot of Star Wars EU dogfights as just flying cubes with lasers

        I'm a bit wierd in that I more or less subvocalize everything so I don't have this at all. But a side effect is say: I enjoyed John Keay's History of China more than his History of India partly because in the latter I stumbled twice every sentence over names I just couldn't scan!

        Indeed. I'm bingeing on Scandinavian novels rn & they're packed with curious names. Grajauskas, Aspsås, Möllerström, Silvertärnan, Styrsö Skäret - wut?
