Since alot of people have issues with my name spelling and/or pronounciation, I am considering changing my name to something shorter and easier that's still somewhat relateable to me.Would Kacchi work? Is it confusing? Is it easier? Do you have any other name suggestion? Opinions highly appreciated > <

Kätzchen is such a sweet name :) Yeah, the pronunciation can be hard, cause its a german word, but its a sweet name :( Greetings from Germany :)

I don't think changing such an easily-recognizable name is a good idea, personally. If people's issues with the umlaut (that ¨ thing over the a) is bothering you that much, though, apparently "ae" is a common replacement for it, hence why all the -booru artsites list you as "kaetzchen" and Google Translate translates both as "kitten" (and pronounces both as "kitchen" for some reason O_o;;). So yeah, if you absolutely have to drop the ä from "Kätzchen," I'd just switch it to an "ae" and go with "Kaetzchen." Still technically the same name, one that people who find your artwork on -booru sites will recognize, and no umlaut-typing issues. (Mac users: alt+u puts an umlaut over the next letter you type if it can take one.)

I think Kätzchen is Kacchi. (Get it? Like, catchy? Damn, I'm funny) If you must change it, I think Kacchi is okay, but I just like Kätzchen a lot. I wish people just paid more attention, like, come on, it's not that hard.
