My accent might be a problem, lol

I got two StackChans, so I updated both their names to something other than “Stackchan”. They are now Luna and Terra.

I’m from South Philly. I definitely speak with a regional accent. I didn’t think “Luna” would be a problematic name, but she doesn’t always recognize when I’m addressing her with, “Hey, Luna”. It makes me wonder if my accent is a factor, though I didn’t think that “Luna” has any of the attributes that would be unique to my regional accent.

I do have a workaround, though. If I say, “Hey, StackChan!”, she wakes up and tells me her name is Luna. 🙂

I will have to experiment with Terra, and see if she has any easier of a time recognizing her name. If not, well, at least I know “Hey, StackChan”will get her attention!

Has anyone here run into issues with “Hey, [New Name]!” not being consistently recognized?
