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...) 😎

Sensei, probably.

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 😕

                             -Personal thought

I would perfer -kun or -san

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...

Enjoy life as much as you can and do whatever you want, because it may be only one.

Depends on the person.

There are times when you will miss what you never had. I wonder how you will find what you so desperately need.

ah depends, but it would probably -chan.
but i'm okay with no honorifics, i like everyone to be equal.

GUESS WHO??

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.
