zysahn

So my pen name is decided....well, truthfully, it has been for some time now, but I changed my Facebook name to it. J.N. Valentine is the pen name, with J for Jericho and N for Nicolas. Jericho is a name I love because of the infamous Jericho covered bridge in a very small, wonderfully haunting little town called Franklinville that is not even 10 minutes from my house. Nicolas was to be my real name, but my Dad hated it and I ended up getting stuck with Christopher (Nicolas is sort of a nod to my parents, despite my problems with them). And Valentine is a bit more complicated. I was thinking of cool sounding western gunslinger names and always thought Doc Holiday was a badass name. I thought it'd be nice to use a holiday name for the surname, but the obvious ones (J.N. Halloween, J.N. Easter, J.N. Presidents Day ) just didn't work. Oddly enough, despite my hatred of Valentines day, the name fit. So there you have it.

Anybody who doesn't like it: TS.

PS: Zysahn is my 'true name' in my mind. I don't think of myself as J.N. Valentine or Christopher Lowman, only as Zysahn. It's a name that I made up myself and ended up being my Pagan/Craft name also. Long story behind that one as well, but I won't get into it now because I am anxious to play WoW at the moment, lol.
