yeah.

When I was a kid my aunt gave me my sign name in NGT, and I love how she composed it because it's pretty much a pun on both the way my spoken name sounds and who I am as a person. So it looks a little like the words for "sun" ("zon") and "yes" ("ja") put together, evidently based on the similarity to "Sonja". But instead of just combining those two words, or even simply fingerspelling my name which would have roughly given the same effect, she spliced the two. It starts out with a fingerspelled s, then instead of spelling the o, there is a modified sign for sun (facing the viewer, rather than the signer), followed by a fingerspelled n. The closest way I can describe the vibe for hearing people is it looks like this:

s☀️n

This is already objectively great of course, but it gets better. The second syllable starts with the swoop for the finger j. Instead of simply tacking a finger a to the back of it, it then switches into the sign for "yes", but with an additional wiggle, because well, I hardly ever did sit still.

ik heb een geweldig grappige mogelijkheid gemist bij het kiezen van mijn naam

Do non Brazilians/Filipinos know about Brazilippines…. Brazilians and Filipinos randomly decided that we were two sides of the same coin and have now become besties
