Aximili's name
« on: April 21, 2009, 01:12:40 PM »
Back when i first read the books.
i was confused over why the Animorphs couldn't pronounce his first name.
i mean its EASY
if you can say Maximilian you can say Aximili because well M aximili an

back in those days i was sure i was going to name my son Maximilian so it was my favorite name
and that is how i found out about Aximili's name.

I said his name wrong until I watched the TV show

for some reason I kept thinking it was "Ax-mealy" b/c I'm dyslexic or something idk

the fact that I needed the TV show to correct me made me sort of mad

b/c there was a lot I wanted to correct on the TV show

I think it's more because his name has four syllabyla, than a difficulty pronouncing it. Besides, he didn't just say his name was Aximilli when they first met. He stated his entire name, which adds more to it.

I actually pronounced Tobias TOH-bee-as, before I heard the name on TV. Not the Animorphs show, but somewhere else. There they pronounced to Tuh-BYE-as.

I never got why they couldn't pronounce it either. No offence, but maybe its an American thing? Like i know lots of americans who find saying "Sara" (As in Sarr-ra not Seh-ra) difficult.

Or hey, maybe "Ax, watch out!" is just better than "Aximili, watch out!"

( I always got a little thrill whenever someone used his full first name ::) :P )

Well, I think it was just because it was a long name and yeah, it would have taken a long time to say.  Also, it would just be obnoxious to have to say the full name every time they wanted to talk to him.

Maybe it was just their way of making him feel cool. Like "Dude, this is my buddy Ax, he's the Ax man!" sounds better than "Hey, this is my friend Aximili . . . he's the uh . . . Aximili man." :P

And I thought I was the only one who was confused over that!   

There were also other names that I was confused about.
