EPTIt is clever. FauxeR packages the idea that he's fake boxer IN THE NAME.
That's a rare chance that never pops up in people's names. Ever.
People advocating "FoxeR" are ruining a truly unique chance.

The high-tech field routinely creates neologisms, especially new meanings. Years ago, there was no doubt that a "mouse" referred only to a furry, little rodent. This man knows his shit. Totally agree, the pronunciation doesn't matter cause we made the word up - it just has a clever pun in it. | ||

Faux on it's own and in french is pronounced "foh" but if you just read "fauxer" most people would initially read it as "foxer" anyway. Although "Foxer" looks/sounds better "Faux" in French also means "false" so Fauxer would have a nice irony to it for us frenchies. Faxer FTW though | ||

It is only clever if this is the first time you've ever actually heard the word faux before, and think it's some kind of crazy word that not many people know about. You just sound like some dumb kid who found a new word to the rest of us. | ||

On top of that, it's both wrong and less pleasing aesthetically.

It's hilarious. And everyone is right. WE invented it by synergizing french and english. It's an amazing name. Don't let it die guys! Any bystander would definitely first read it as "Foxer" unless they are french. But then why are they on english forums? | ||

Instead of just using the name that looks better and sounds the same. | ||

Fauxer is quite possibly the worst looking ID i've ever seen, almost as bad as BabyByeBye. actually its quite witty, fauxer does mean fake boxer foxer makes no sense on the other hand | ||
