Well, while I find you being sometimes cocky beyond annoying, I think many here are much more fit to have this title. Actually you can be shockingly sensible at times...
That is because there are far more "leftists" than leftists here.
As for my new avatar and title, it is in "honour" of said cry-babies. My time here have made me look with more sympathetic eyes on among many things the building of a certain wall. My avatar is Walther Ulbricht, and I will not insult anybody's intelligence with explaining the title then, just mention that I just recovered from a difficult time in real life as well, so it is quite fitting also for that reason.
I prefer desserts...

In that case, my surname must be so old it doesn't have any ancestor.
Irish Caesar
Yellow Jacket
Gimme an example.
Mine (no, I won't tell you!) used to have an O' at the beginning, which was dropped, and used to end -aigh, but now simply ends -y.
A lot of names were Americanized at Ellis Island or later; Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry's family name was originally Pereira, but his father changed this to sound more American. Vocalist Steven Tyler was born with the name Tallarico, but this doesn't sound like an American rock star's name, so...

Why did you use his name in Portuguese?
Damnit, it's supposed to be Spanish. Where's my mistake?
It's one word. Jesucristo.
skadistic
Caomhanach
Old spelling?Wow.... I don't think anyone here has something like this.
Like Irish Ceasar pointed out many Irish had their names Americanized at port entry. Some of this had to do with illiterate irish saying their name to german, italian and english intake officers among many other backgrounds. Gaelic isn't exactly the easiest language to learn. So names change in spelling over time for a few reasons. I doubt this is as prevelent in Europe.
Edit to add the modern variations of my last name come in 6 diffrent spellings of the top of my head. All trace back to Caomhanach.

Hey, nice idea. I could use τοῦ Χριστοῦ for my custom title (the Greek version from the new testament, meaning "the Christ").
Edit: Crosspost........
Edit 2: I think the modern version is Isesous Xristos, but this is the Latin alphabet translation, I'd like to use something in the Greek alphabet. Edit 3: It's ΙΗΣΟΟΥΣ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ.

Yes, it probably happened much less in Europe, especially in those languages that use a purely phonetic writing.
I'd love to know the historic origin of my surname, because it sounds pretty different to most Romanian surnames, but all my relatives in the last 100 are from here and were born somewhere in the areas inhabited by these people.I'm pretty sure that's not right.
EDIT: Never mind, it is.
Well, Portuguese sounds better, so I'm keeping it.
No, trust me, it is. I was a Spanish-speaking missionary for 2 years.
