A long time ago in a galaxy far far away known as my old house, I made an account for something (I forgot what). I couldn't think of anything so I just combined the first three words that could come into my head. I thought it sounded fine and now I use it everywhere.

Years ago I had to come up with a new nickname for Pokémon GO because my previous one was too long, then I decided to use it anywhere else as I liked it more and it didn't contain my dead name.

I have always been fascinated by darkness and dragons, so I have taken my chosen name (Itzal) and another one (Drake) and to do something more original I decided to put them together because of their meaning.
So my username can be translated as shadow dragon and I love it :P

The only downside of this nickname is that Drake is a more popular name than Itzal so people who don't know me tend to call me Drake but that's fine :lol:

Just saying that Itzal is a very beautiful name, it's typical from the Basque country :)

Oh yeah I know it and thank you!
I love it not only because of its meaning but also for being a short name and not Italian, as I live in Italy I am always surrounded by people with Italian names and I wanted to be more original :mrgreen:

I still think it's funny that people thought I made up Steo for a username, and they were shocked when I said it's basically just my name. :lol:

It's funny, now there's a character in Fair City called Steo, so it's a name I hear in a lot of places. That guy's bad news though, unlike you :hap:

Don't martyr yourself like that, a bit of self-love doesn't hurt anyone, right? :)

Ah, nice! I was probably playing Sword/Shield at the time I asked this (I was thinking of Wyndon for some reason when I came up with the idea). :oops2:

.....

These days I only use Jonster on RPC. There may be other accounts around that still have this name (like my Switch account), but otherwise I don't use this in chatspace like Discord, I now use certain BGE character names as my handle these days. Hee hee I wonder if Plum would guess correctly what my current username is. :mrgreen:

I've never played Sword/Shield, or any Pokemon game really, except for Pokemon Red. :D
Btw you were correct, I was trying to be "funny" with saying my name was "lyndod,"although I don't really know what I was going for there. :oops2:

At least it's close. I think Hoodoo's mother kept calling me that, or something like it anyway. :lol:
