Lenin (river lena), Trotsky (his jailer's name), Molotov (the hammerer), Stalin/Koba, Kamenev (son of rock), Zinoviev (son of zinovi), che, tito, ho chi minh (lightbringer), yasser arafat, and subcomandante marcos are all adopted noms de guerre (French for war names). I don't fully understand it, but if you're a revolutionary you're allowed to give yourself a badass name to conceal your identity or become a legend
You're allowed to give yourself a badass name whenever you want, you just have to be ready to throw down really hit somone With a chair style if anyone questions it.
I have so many names it's a little silly and about half of them are as pretentious as "Steel Man".
"Frank" usually means "of the Franks" and connotes a free man, but it can also colloquially mean straightforward honesty. A lot of names are bad ass if you translate them. Miles is latin for warrior or soldier. Michael means "who is like God?". Issac is the one who laughs
.
Translate your name out from its original language and you'll often get something cool.
I don’t think “happy” is that cool a name.
