The NATO phonetics are so tired and old. This one uses popular fictional characters instead:
Aladdin Buffy Cruella Dorothy Edward Fiona Gandalf Hulk Igor Joker Kermit Lilo Mufasa Naruto Olaf Pikachu Quark Rapunzel Scoobie Tigger Ursula Vegeta Wolverine Xena Yoda Zorro
M, as in Mancy
wow E? that's fucked up
spoiler
A as in Aye, B as in Bee, C as in Cay, D as in Dee, E as in Ex, F as in Fee, G as in Gee, H as in He, I as in I, J as in Jew, K as in Knight, L as in Lay, M as in May, N as in Night, O as in Oh, P as in Phi, Q as in Quran, R as in Ray, S as in Say, T as in Two, U as in Use, V as in Vain, W as in Why, X as in Xeno, Y as in You, Z as in Zeno
Anyways this is what it feels like when people don't use nato phonetic with my deaf ass
You used Quark, and not Quasimodo?
I'll hunch your back and make you Notre Dame all over the fifteenth century.
I wanted them to all be under four syllables. I also tried to maximize variety for ending sounds, and there's a lot of them that end in 'o' sounds already. Additionally I tried to pick names that could refer to multiple characters, e.g. Edward could refer to FMA, but it could also refer to Twilight; the name Quark shows up a lot. Also I didn't want the list to feel too Disney heavy.
I know you chose these on purpose.
Unfortunately, Xena has got to go. There’s no phonetic difference with Z. Xavier might be your best bet, but that’s a tough one.
Edit… Quebec and Kilo in the NATO one give me pause, though. Maybe Xena can stay after all.
If Cruella was written with a K, it would be pronounced the same, too. A certain amount of phonetic redundancy is pretty normal for alphabets that weren't purpose-made for that specific language.
Is Zena a word or relatively well-known name?
If Cruella was written with a K, it would be pronounced the same, too
I suspect that's why NATO uses Charlie. No other letter is pronounced ⟨tʃ⟩ with any significant frequency in English.
Can I suggest Chucky?
Edit: actually, even better: Chewbacca.
Check out Zena Warrior Princess.
Yeah, I really racked my brain on that one. There is a superhero named Xray, but it isn't a satisfying option. Xavier is actually really good, I don't know why I didn't think of that, professor X, easy to remember.
Xenomorph
X for Xorg
Should just be Xen anyway.
Eh, blame the English for making the language lmao
I'm all for this
X-force
For Frodo!
Love this. Quick note, Scooby is spelled with a Y.
Oh, thanks. My bad.
Wheres the Yoda key
That’s “e”, as in “Epstein”.
Jandalf
Quark!!! I love that for Q
So long as it's said with maximum Odo grumpiness.
Quaarrrrrrrk!
Haha yeees
Improved based on feedback.
Folks still remember Zorro, that's awesome. Loved it as a kid.
Wolverine Tigger Fiona
Igor Dorothy Kermit
If NATO used this they might get sued by Nintendo for P. Maybe not, but that's a showdown I'd LOVE to watch.
It's for the internet. Nato's alphabet is so English-focused, and it sounds so militaristic now. This is for the nerds and weirdos of the world.
But it isnt English focused and the reason it sounds militaristic is because the media shows the military use it
Alpha is Greek Bravo is Italian Delta is Greek India is its own country Kilo is Greek Lima is a city in Peru November is Latin Papa is decently multilingual Quebec is an indigenous word that was coined by a Frenchman Sierra is Spanish Tango is Spanish Victor is Latin Zulu is an indigenous tribe
Charlie, Juliet, Mike, Oscar, Romeo are all names that exist in multiple languages
Like it’s easy to think of it as being American since the American military uses it a lot but it was specifically designed to be useful by non English speakers for joint operations
I've had a similar shirt for many years: https://www.geekalerts.com/now-i-nerd-my-abcs-t-shirt/
That's awesome!
Fiona.
But where's that fella with all the thorns and eths in pheir comments.
Who?
Þere's a user around hat always writes like þis, substituting all "th" digraphs with the archaic letter Þ/þ (þhorn) or Ð/ð (eð). Þey were adapted and used interchangeably in Old English in place of "th", before eventually being replaced by þe digraph again.
Þe user in question found it entertaining to use þem once more. Some people find it extremely annoying and tedious to read.

I think their username is like anglosaxaphone or saxadick or somePing like dat. You'd know it because the posts are basically unreadable.
WTF are you talking about, even if they inserted random arabic letters instead of thorn and eth the comments would still be perfectly readable.
