MODERATORS

In language classes, did you choose your name or get assigned one? Or use your regular name? (discuss.online)

In Spanish class, we get Spanish names and can choose what we’d like to be called from a list. I’m Francisca (or Paca) because it’s similar to Francesca, my online name.

Back like 7 years ago, in my German classes, we were given a list of names to choose from. Don't exactly remember what I chose, but I think it started with an F and was 5 letters long? Liked it quite a bit.

In the Japanese classes I took 2 years ago we were given the choice of picking a Japanese name, but most, including me, rolled with a transliteration of their own name.
