    Anyway, please change my name to Tererune when it is convenient.

    I have added the e on the end to reflect how I pronounce it as opposed to the run. It is something I have been correcting slowly over the years as everyone pronounces it as run, so it probably should be spelled as such.

    Anyways, thanks in advance.

    The name comes from back in the day of fansubs of sailor moon. There is a member of the witches 5 who should have been spelled tellelu, but instead VKLL, the best sub of the time, wrote it as Tererun, and it sounded like Tererune in the Japanese because of they way they pronounce l's. VKLL did make some translation mistakes, but they were at least thought out as far as I was concerned.

    Way back in the day I was looking for a nickname no one would take that was from a fandom of mine. I got really tired of fighting for Simba and Safari. So I figured a member of the Witches 5 from sailor moon S which only got one episode would be a decent nickname that would show my moon fandom, and I kept it later as it showed my OG status as having VKLL fansubs on VHS back in the day. She is the gree plant based with and she sells flowers with her name that suck the spirit crystals out of large numbers of people.

    I used to use Sailor Moon as naming conventions all the time, and a lot of times it worked out well that I used VKLL sub names on MMORPGs like everquest and WOW because even if someone took the official american dub name, the spelling was often different. PallaPalla was another name I often used from the amazoness quartet in SM Supers, and she was called ParaPara when ADV did the sub.

    I am glad I got away from Disney and over to Anime. Do you know how hard it was to fight for Disney Nicknames?

    well, if there is a movement to end all the name shifting for everyone I would have to agree to that. Just as long as no one else gets their name changed from this point on.
