About the new name · 8:37pm Mar 2nd, 2016
So, anybody who's been following me since January may have noticed that I changed my username from RauldeDino to Zephyr Spark. First, let me explain the history behind the name RauldeDino.
You know those Spanish classes you take in high school where the teacher says "choose your Spanish name and that's how will address you in class"? That's where RauldeDino came from. Originally, it was simply Raul, which supposedly translated to warrior, but then I added Dino, which supposedly translated to Justice. In translation, this name was meant to say Warrior of Justice (though due to Spanish vernacular this may have come out as Justice of Warrior, which still sounds pretty epic). I used this username on many of my accounts (such as Youtube) to avoid having to create a new nickname.
Originally, I had this going for my FimFiction account, until I realized this name is a bit weird to pronounce. So I called up my sister, who designed my OC, and asked what would be a good name for him. She suggested Zephyr, which I believe refers to a type of wind or wind god, and I added Spark as a last name because I enjoy tasks that engage my creative faculties. I decided my OC name would serve as a better username, as it sounded more intriguing.
I like to think this change marks my complete embracing of the community, with no further reservations or second thoughts. Now, I like to think I have some small unique identity within the community. Thanks again for inspiring me to create.
