Name Game

[rekall]

Soooo...I got a review the other day for HC and in it the person mentioned they hated the name Atemu. Umm...why? It's his name. I would use it more often but I know most people use 'Yami'. Still though I think in all my fics I mention that Atemu is his real name but simply 'adopted' the name Yami.

Honestly...I never liked the name Yami. lol

I think the reason why I don't like Yami is because it's not his name and that I only know it from fanfics and the online community.

I'm so use to referring to him as Yugi, mou hitori no Yugi and Atemu (or even the Nameless Pharaoh). My brother also likes YGO and I drive him insane at times because prior to Atemu learning his name I normally call him Yugi and he always thinks I'm talking about Little Yugi, lol.

I don't know if I'll ever do a fic-verse of any length where Yami would regain his memories (I sorta like him as a blank slate, the poor guy) so he's stuck with Yami. Too confusing to call him Yugi if they're in different bodies, and "Pharaoh" would just be an odd name LOL...

Oh well. To each their own. It's just like the fact that I call Ryou "Bakura" in my stories since that is what he goes by, and I don't use the term "hikari" in my fics since that's also a fanon term. And I changed Rafael and Valon's name spellings because of my own hang ups, etc.
