ニックネームの推測ゲーム
Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello, hello.
Hello.
The other day, I was having a dinner with the one who was born, I guess, and raised in the United States, in LA.
And has been there for many years, like you.
I don't know this person.
I don't know.
And we were like four.
And then there were two people like that, who were not sure born, not sure about, but like a 帰国しじょう, at least.
They returned to Japan when they were like high school or university.
And then it's their thing.
They were really younger than me.
They were just graduated from the university age.
And then they were this thing that they are doing to each other, nicknaming each other, like an English name.
Okay.
You see the face.
And then did you say like you can tell the name by looking at one's face?
Yeah.
If it's like Thomas or if it's Jennifer.
Yes, I can do that.
Kylie, right?
Yes, I can do that.
And then they have their own each other's nicknames already.
And one of them were like nicknamed as Ryan.
Okay.
And I totally get that feeling.
Okay.
Ryan, that makes sense to me.
Yeah.
And then here's my question.
Okay.
And then I got the nickname.
Okay.
During the dinner and I went to the bar.
Okay, sure.
And then they see me and then they made my nickname.
Okay.
From my face, from my attitude, from everything that I make.
Sure.
And then if it's ridiculous if you can name the same name as they named me.
Okay.
So that's first try.
Okay.
And the second try is if you would understand, if you agree with that, that name on me or not.
Okay, sure.
Let's try.
Yeah.
But you know, I know you too much.
What do you mean?
So their information is different from my information about you.
I know a lot about you.
So true.
So I know more angles.
I see.
So which I'm afraid that would get into a different answer.
I see.
But I'm going to try my best.
True, true.
To pretend like I don't know you at all.
Yeah.
Just by looking at you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Please.
We just met.
We just met for the first time meeting with them.
Okay.
And if I add a little thing, I was wearing a little gel wax as usual.
Sure.
My hair was more curly.
Sure.
Okay.
Like that.
Okay.
And yeah.
Okay.
So.
I'm a little older than them, you know?
Okay.
The first letter is the most important.
Okay, okay.
I think.
Oh, is it?
Yeah, the first letter.
Okay.
Like, you would choose what the first letter first.
Okay.
And then just go into what comes after.
Wow.
So you see the whole kind of shape.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
So the final ultimate nickname, I know that one, but also they've got some options.
Some options, yeah.
They didn't, finally didn't choose that one, but some.
I do that too.
Okay.
Yeah.
And in those, if that matches, then that will be, I mean, that's great.
名前を推理するゲーム
It's really interesting.
I'm getting something.
Is it like face?
Yeah.
Or like a mood?
Face and atmosphere.
Atmosphere.
Is what I rely on.
Okay.
Okay.
Mike or Johnny.
Mike.
Okay.
Mike is one.
Yeah.
Johnny's one.
Not Jake.
Okay.
Even though it's a J.
Yeah.
Not Jake.
Not Jake.
Yeah.
Okay.
But I like Johnny though.
Okay.
Maybe B.
B.
Like Brian.
Brian's one.
Okay.
Yeah.
Mike, Brian, Johnny.
Yeah.
Mike, Brian, Johnny.
I like that.
Okay.
Mike, Brian, Johnny.
Not Johnny.
Mike, Brian.
Mike, Brian.
Mike.
I like Mike.
You like...
Okay.
No.
Brian.
Brian.
Brian.
I'm gonna go with Brian.
Okay.
Wait.
Hold on.
Mike.
Mike?
I'm gonna go with Mike.
You go with Mike?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
So the nickname they gave me.
Okay.
Was.
Okay.
Starting from L.
Okay.
Wait.
Hold on.
Okay.
Yeah.
Luke.
Is that right?
Luke.
Oh shit.
Wow.
So you can kind of sense that.
Yeah.
I can't believe you got it right.
It's so strange.
Yeah.
It's weird.
If it's L.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean.
You go with Luke?
I would go with Luke.
Oh no.
That's strange.
Oh.
That's scary.
That's interesting.
That's interesting.
That is interesting.
Yeah.
They finally named me Luke.
L-U-K-E.
Luke.
Yeah.
But one of the options.
Yeah.
Was.
What did you say?
Like Brian.
I said Mike, Brian.
Mike, Brian.
And Johnny.
Yeah.
So Johnny was one of the options.
Oh shit.
And then not Brian, but Bradley was the option.
Okay.
And then they were like kind of, nah, this one.
Yeah.
And then finally.
And the other one was Cole.
C-O-L-E.
Cole.
Ah, Cole.
But as it's difficult to pronounce for Japanese people.
So they.
Nah, this one.
Okay.
And then finally Luke was like the nickname they gave me.
But.
No.
But Brian Bradley is kind of similar though still.
Sure.
Brian is kind of.
Brian.
Brian.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
Wow.
But I didn't sense an L from you though.
Oh, okay.
From me.
Yeah.
Okay.
So that was that.
That was kind of different, but.
Sure.
Sure.
Sure.
Yeah.
If I had to choose from L, then we chose the same thing.
And that's.
Wow.
That's interesting.
That's interesting.
Really.
That is interesting.
Oh.
Yeah.
Can you give me a Japanese name?
You?
Yeah.
Maybe in the future I'll ask other friends to name me a Japanese name.
Yeah.
And see if it matches.
Okay.
Okay.
No, I mean, I know your name and then it blocks me.
Yeah.
To think about the.
Right.
It's distracting.
名前当てゲームの奇跡
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Nothing came up.
Because I just know your name and it just.
Right.
You already know my.
Yeah.
Japanese name.
It's just coming up and then.
No.
It's too close.
So, how about we look at a random person's name?
Oh, yeah.
Try that.
Try that.
Yeah.
Okay.
This is the first guy that we found on the internet.
Okay.
This guy.
I have no idea who this is.
He's handsome.
Yeah.
Clean.
Clean.
Very seikuskan.
So, instinct.
My instinct.
Yeah.
Right?
Wait.
Hold on.
Okay.
Let me think of a first name.
Yeah.
And then we'll say it together.
Yeah.
So that we won't be influenced by each other.
Right.
If it matches, that's ridiculous.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
I got it.
Yeah?
Ready?
Yeah, I'm ready.
Hold on.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
Seeno.
Ryotaro.
Oh!
Really?
Ryotaro.
Ryotaro.
Oh!
That's ridiculous.
No.
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
That's fucking crazy.
No.
Wow.
I don't know, but I got it.
That's crazy.
I understand you, man.
I understand you.
Yeah, but I feel so.
Yeah.
I understand you.
Yeah, I get that.
I get it.
My muscles are shrinking.
That's crazy.
That's fucking crazy.
That's scary.
Wow.
That is so interesting.
Yeah, it is.
That is so interesting.
It is.
It is interesting.
Really?
You said Ryotaro?
Yeah, I said Ryotaro.
That's interesting.
Wow.
Wow.
That is interesting.
Oh, I mean, it's almost impossible.
I know.
I mean, we didn't really did anything before and just instantly on the spot.
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
So, it has to be something in there.
Yeah.
Right.
Right.
That is so interesting.
Do you think people's...
Okay, then that means, do you think people's behavior has changed?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, people's behaviors and face and appearances sort of is affected by their names then?
Yeah.
Because they're given before they're born, right?
True.
True.
Then, I mean, that's possible.
That is interesting.
Because we met many people with many names.
Yeah.
And then we collect all the information and then kind of analyzing ourselves and then
Ryota or Ryotaro is this kind of guy.
Yeah.
And Kenta, these kind of guys.
Yeah.
And that's pretty much accurate then.
Like, at least me and you.
Maybe we're sampling from the same sample.
Oh, but we're sharing all the district college for years, right?
Yeah.
Maybe we're looking at famous people too, maybe?
Could be.
Could be.
True.
Somebody.
Yeah.

But, yeah.
Could be.
Could be.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
I want to know what's inside.
What's behind of this.
But.
That was crazy though.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
This is crazy.
This is crazy.
We have a similar background, so that could be some reason, right?
Yeah.
Could be.
Could be.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Right.
