Up until not even that long ago I thought you were a guy... probably because of the name 'Nicolai'. Nearly everyone thinks or thought the same of me by the way. I can't really blame them in my case (I would if they saw me in real life XD)
haha, don't worry you're not the only one XD Sometimes I'm surprised how long it takes people on FA to realize I'm a girl even when they talk to me on AIM! I don't do it on purpose but it amuses me since I think I'm rather girly when I talk. Interesting that people would mistake you! But I guess it's not a common name that you have, at least for people in the US that hear it.
No, most people have no clue how to pronounce my name and wonder what it means. It's actually my real name, and though it's not too common it's still a normal name here. Usually when I see people's art I kind of create a picture in my mind of what the artist might look like, based on their art style, interests and character. Usually with 'furry art' (gosh I hate that word) the more realistic or cutesy stuff is drawn by females and the crazy cartoony cartoons are done by males. Even though Kiki is a girl I can't really blame people for not seeing that, since she looks pretty genderless. At least with you I didn't find out THAT late, sometimes I've 'known' a person for several years only to find out it's actually a dude. Heh. Also meeting people in real life is weird.. You know Kipper? I expected some thin guy with glasses but he's actually a trucker and also looks like one ;)
haha! I dont know if I'm right or wrong to assume it's just like "henriette" but with a "k" XD But it seemed like a girls name to me! Haha, I was just thinking about how people look from their art styles. One main trend I tend to notice is, the more modestly (or downplayed) someone draws their "persona", the better they tend to look irl XD at least what I've seen. Sometimes they really surprise you, though! (never a bad thing of course, haha)
