About the Name Chon-san

[gallowsCalibrator]

Sorry if I sound clueless, but in Ayu's Team Ayu diaries, she talks about someone named Chon-san... Is this person part of her staff? If they are, could someone please post pics of them so I know I'm not crazy? XD I swear I've heard Chon-san before... Thanks if you can help me and my forgetful brain!

Chon-chan is Ayu herself~
Here's what Deli has to say on it~

"Doron" means "slipping out unnoticed" (my translation was "ninja vanish").... there was no "chon" in there to begin with - she signed off with a "chon" worked into the word "doron" so I translated it as "Nin-chon vanish" that day.

^ Ohhhhhh! That makes sense~!
Thanks for info, this had been bugging me for a while now XD

Recently I happened to find Zin-san's original blog post.

The story is a little different but anyway Chon-chan (or Chon-san) is ayu herself.
Here's my translation. I'm sure there must be strange english

ちょんちゃんの由来は・・・
Where Chon-chan came from...

普通に真剣にメールしてる時に、
When I sent my mail normally and soberly,

俺が送ったメールが素の間違いで「あゆちょん」になってまして、
in my mail I mistakenly wrote "Ayu-chon" with no special intension.

せっかくだからあだ名にしようと思い、
I felt this is a good chance to make a nickname.

そこからひとひねりで「チョンさん」になったのですが、
I added one more twist and made "Chon-san." However...

韓国の人の名前っぽくない？ってなったので
it was said "Doesn't it sound like a name of Korean person?"

可愛らしく「ちょんちゃん」に至った訳です。
So, we finally got "Chon-chan", which is cute.

超可愛くない？？笑
Isn't it super Cawaii? (laugh)

まったく元の名前のAすら入ってない、
裏あだ名です。笑。
This is a backstair nickname
which doesn't have even "A" of her original name. (laugh)

^ Oh, thank you for that! It all makes sense now that I look back through her blogs... (Noted: Chon-chan=Ayu!)

[aura~]

wooow! thanks oji-i-san! so all was because of Jin's mistake, XDD cute!

[Cherry Dynamite]

Thanks oji-i-san I didn't even know that.

[gothicayu]

thank you i was wondering too

[CZECHayu]

oh thank you. I knew that it's Ayu herself but didn't know why, so this is it. Because Zin XD

[Ayu_no_tenshi]

^ yeah, me too. i knew that chon-chan = ayu and i even knew that ZIN started it but i never saw his original post so i had no clue what the reason behind the new nickname was. LOL thanks oji-i-san!!!

[y_nathz]

Oh so ZIN started it ?
He's epic

I noticed that Ayu sometimes uses this name in her T.A. writings. Could someone explain the origin/meaning of this name? Is it just something cute that Ayu uses to refer to herself online?

Thanks!

Arigatou!! ZIN, you're a genius!! LOL

[Ayu-roBeat 13]

Haha I still call her Chon-san/Chon-chan. If I see her tomorrow I definitely will too.

[StarSUCKER]

Oh, thanks! I'd been wondering why she calls herself that.......
