As semi-suggester of this poll, I just want to point out the the original idea was Lightmare's and I just re-phrased the poll by adding the san, chan, kohai, sempai words. So it was totally a joint effort suggestion, and I'm just the assistant. Thanks, great Lambchopsil for deigning to select me in the previous and current polls. Again, I am just a suggester of a suggestion.  I'll take a small vacation and be back with a renewed ardour at the business.
I'd like to be a bartender, and be called sensei, like in the Bartender manga. In real life I just want to be insignificant little nowyat-san. (I think bartender's are also Sensei in Japan. Maybe that's an urban myth...)

Can someone explain to me the difference between -san and -kun?
From what i think is right, -san is for older people while -kun is for younger but im not sure

Kun is (mostly) used for boys and san can be used for any gender.

I would love to be called Zan-kun. Zan-san sounds strange and the others don't fit me.
Besides, -kun is my favorite to say. ^^

ugh i guess it depends on a situation, thou normally i'd rather be without any honorifics, just my name, but since now we have to choose i take - sama  cuz somehow out of those all that's the only one that um feels normal?nah, more like it gets to me? something like that...

Quote from Sacchan In Japan I was essentially always called by my first name unless it was a business situation or something similar. I guess sensei would be preferable, as I intend to continue working in industries which would add it on as a proper title (the usage expands beyond teaching), but it doesn't make a huge difference.
Really anything's fine, so long as I don't get nicknamed "Sacchan" again.
Anyway, if I absolutely have to pick one then I suppose san. Honestly, I prefer not having any honorifics attached to my name.

I was doubting between -sama and -sensei, but I chose -sama; in a few years I could legitimately have myself referred to as -sensei (if I ever go to Japan) anyway.

-denka just means "highness", right? It's use isn't restricted to females; -hime means princess.
