About my nickname

 * 1) The first letter "c" should not be capitalized, but there's unfortunately a limitation from Wikipedia's side.
 * 2) It stems from the polish word for "silent (masculine)", which is originally written as "cichy".
 * 3) "Ch" and "h" are pronounced the same in polish and are a common source of spelling mistakes.
 * 4) Although in my case that was simply an artistic choice.
 * 5) My first nickname ever was "daw00", yet when I was creating a Minecraft account I've seen it as childish, so I wanted to give myself more "mature" name. I found the word "silently" and thought it sounded cool. Back then I didn't took into account, that it's an adverb that is going to be used as a noun.
 * 6) I don't know what posessed me as a child but I wan't born in 2000, I'm actually from 1998.
 * 7) I added a suffix "PL", because for some reason that's what a lot of polish people did. This becase an issue, where my nickname "silenltyPL" would attract a lot of unwanted attention in League of Legends years later. I decided to change it to "cihy", since that's what my friends were verbally calling me anyways.
 * 8) You would think Poles would recognise my nationality, but I've been asked maybe once or twice after my nickname change.
 * 9) Technically, it's pronounced /ˈt͡ɕi.xɨ/, but I understand not everyone is able to comfortably create those sounds, so just do your best and have fun.
 * 10) If you want a guideline, I'd say "chi" as in "tai-chi" followed by "hy" as in "hymn".
