My last name was made up by my great grandfather during WW1.
German names were problematic at the time.

It's my dad's last name and he was a black guy from New Orleans.

Yeah, that was a likely response after hearing the original Hun name.
It sounded like a bad sneeze.
What's yours?

MIne can be sourced to English/Irish/Scottish origins.
Yep, I'm really kinda white, and burn easily.

Not sure if it's the English term or the Irish term but likely it's the former. My entire name in Old English details a rather pretty town in a meadow.

My current family name on my ID is Ramadan, which is the month of Ramadan. It was the name of my great great grandfather and was used when our kingdom was unified under the current Saudi Arabia and the Saudi nationality came to existence.
My real last name however is Al-Qurashi. It is the same last name of the prophet Muhammad.

Mine has Germanic roots.
"O'Bsm1"?
The meaning of mine depends on where my family comes from. It could mean living near a bog or heathy mountain; a large, noble, or stately man; a man with dark skin; a person who worked near boats; or an ocean or coastal district.
Mine is an Italian/Sicilian variant on an old Norman, and I do mean old... ca. 1066 CE name having to do with stewardship. The name was a sobriquet for a knight who fought along with William the Conqueror. The sobriquet became a surname, as many do. This further supports my theory that, based on physical attributes, my ancestors did not originate in the Mediterranean area, but rather, in northern Europe. In which case, this makes me the world's shortest Viking.

Why are you guys giving out personal info to complete stranger, some of whom might not like you. What if some of them want to dox you guys?
Haha I was thinking the same thing.
If someone with ill-intent wants to find out who you are, they will. If they have such ill-intent, they probably have the computer skills to find out who you are anyway. Personal experience (as in me being the target).
I just made some credit card donations & purchases from C Cypher's accounts:

You might be miffed right now, but you'll thank me when you meet the weirdly bearded geek of your dreams.
