There's a building on my campus with the address 999 that opened over a
year ago. I tried to get people to call it tri-nines, but I have never
gotten it to catch on. They all insist on saying "NINE NINE NINE" like
some kind of German Negation Machine.

So any tips on making place names stick are welcome.

Hi there Tildans? Tilders? Tildaphiles?

I have always used "tildenizens" but although I successfully created a
now-official demonym for my old neighborhood
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delano%2C_Wichita%2C_Kansas) I'm not sure
the tilde one ever caught on.
