Pokimane says everyone has been pronouncing her name wrong this whole time Twitch\/PokimanePokimane has claimed that everyone has been pronouncing her name wrong this whole time, but she doesn\u2019t mind it. Imane \u201cPokimane\u201d Anys is undoubtedly one of Twitch\u2019s biggest streamers, rising from your average personality on Twitch to a certified internet celebrity, she has certainly made a name for herself. However, despite being one of the internet\u2019s biggest streamers today, most have seemingly been pronouncing her name wrong this entire time. Explained in a Wired \u2018The Web\u2019s Most Searched Questions\u2019 video, Poki revealed that most people have been mispronouncing her name wrong from the very beginning. \u201cThe reason this is my name is because obviously of gaming, I play a lot of Pokemon. And my name is \u2018Imane\u2019, so it\u2019s supposed to be a play on words,\u201d she said in the video. \u201cThat\u2019s why it\u2019s actually supposed Pokimane (po\u028akim\u0251n), but I understand in English this just reads as Pokimane (po\u028ak\u026ame\u026an),\u201d she revealed in the video, with her name attempting to make a play on English phonetics. \u201cSo I\u2019m never mad at people when they pronounce it that way, like, call me whatever you want. As long as it\u2019s nice.\u201d Of course, the Pokimane faithful would have actually known about this way before as she actually has revealed this fact on multiple occasions in her streams. She even previously revealed this fact in an interview with Anthony Padilla as well, where she joked about accepting the pronunciation so as to not \u201ccatch a Nintendo lawsuit\u201d. Pokimane answered some other questions in the video, such as talking about how getting her own dance into Fortnite is one of the high points of her career, and revealing she rarely plays League of Legends anymore, the game in which she first made her name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
