I have always pronounced it "see - nich". I realized people were pronouncing it "see-nick" (which is fine) and unfortunately "shawn-itch" or even referring to me as "sean". This was unacceptable. I don't get along with Shawns or Seans very well for some reason. The only other name that I have been called more than once is Todd. Though I have an uncle named Todd non-family members have even called me Todd before... weird... anyway...
So, my new internet handle thing is icopythat or I copy that. It was born because "copythat" was already taken so I tossed the less used "i" in front - bingo. Now I just have to buy the domain.
there you go, boring name change story (most of you won't even notice, it's just for my flickr account, but a big mental change - 12 years) We all must learn to brand ourselves, how annoying.
have some sea.

no nich for now.

Gotcha, Todd.
seanich is dead! long live icopythat!
ugh - i have similar problems w/ my userid that I have carried on in life (and email), which once resulted in my SSN being emailed to the wrong address. Offender told me "well it's probably a woman, and women are less evil than men".
great site.
