What is the word for when you purposefully bastardize a word?
For example: If my name is Alyssa, and but my account name is Alyzzuh. Alyzzuh would be a _______ of Alyssa.
Degradation? Degeneration? I can't remember it for the life of me.

Americanisation. Like alyssa or or those other fantasy names with a y instead of an i

Another example would be "Drumpf" when referring to President Donald J. Trump. It's a nickname, but it's a _____ of the name Trump

When his ancestors left Bavaria the German government issued their papers as "Drumpf" in proper Hochdeutsche. When they arrived at the USA however they said their last name was pronounced and spelled "Trump" as their thick Bavarian accents turned "Drumpf" into "Trump". They'd always spelled and pronounced it Trump and the German Government just stuck them with Drumpf for the purposes of them leaving the country and more importantly the people who did the paperwork for immigration didn't give a shit so they just Anglicized "Trump" to "Trump".
