Hey everyone!

I've been seeing a lot of new people joining the forums alongside some older players rejoining and I am always interested in the names people choose for the forums, discord, and in-game. Its always fun to hear where you found your name(s).
I've done this before but didn't feel like necroing the old post.

I'm Unfortunatepossum in all things Dinkleburg, (forums, discord, and in-game).
Unfortunate bc idk...probably my shit personality and gaming skills.
Possum bc i really love possums.

Let me hear yours!

My name can be used to mean many things, but originally it had to do with Super Mario and LSD.

I don't think I posted in Part I, so I'll post on this thread because second is the best.

Though I sometimes briefly change my name around holidays or something I find amusing, my name has been Prince Nicky La Flama Blanca for ~6 years now.
-"Prince" in reference to Prince Henry the Navigator, the Portuguese prince who helped initiate overseas exploration in the 1400s. I love history and geography, so he's a fascinating figure for me. I also like that he had a nickname attached to his name.
-"Nicky" is my name. I was born a few days before Christmas and named in honor of Saint Nicholas (Santa Claus).
-"La Flama Blanca" translates in English to "the white flame." I grew up in South Texas, an area greatly influenced by the largely Hispanic/Latino population. Besides occasionally using Spanish words and phrases when speaking and having a love for Mexican food, I have also adopted some aspects of the local culture and meshed them into my own largely-European background. It's also a reference to the TV show Eastbound & Down and the fact that I was often called a "gringo" growing up.

Sometimes I add "De La Ley" to my name because I am currently a law student. I also just find it amusing to make my long name even longer.

Gebriel: is literally my name spelt with an E instead of an A tho 'Geb' was given to me by the Sona Chicago group.

Gerbil/Gurbil: literally only happened because @"B0T ikillyou" said my name wrong the moment he met me and it stuck.
