After so many years, how do you feel about your Languish name?

Do you still like it?  Is it outdated?  Rather it be something else?  Oh well, it's how I am known around here after so long?

I like my Languish name, thank you very much.  It suits me.

Always thought it was a little clumsy but I don't care to change it. At least it abbreviates well.

Why would I not like my name?

Was that supposed to be an answer?

You're free to like the name or not as you wish; I just found the apparent meaning of the term humorous with regard to you.

Given that there are so many freakin llawyers on Languish I feel mine is kind of silly and pretentious.  But at least I axed the "Boy" when I had a chance.

I found your old name inspirational.   :)
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

My allonym (even if I didn't spell it quite right the first time through) and my signature are play on Detroit, which calls itself "The Renaissance City."  It also fit the time period of EU.  Since I no longer live in Detroit, it's no longer as fitting; but I still like it.   :)

Since I now live in The Sunshine State", I should call myself Louis XIV and troll Valmy constantly.   :P

Wasn't your initial name misspelled though? Savronela or something? :P Edit: sorry read too fast. Originally, I thought it was intentional. :P

My name is my real name only in Latin so it is as (ir)relevant and pretentious as it was 14 years ago when I joined Paradox.

I have used this same name for all things internet for 20 years now. I just can't be arsed to change it, even if it's a bit silly-sounding.

It's the name of a character in the ICE Middle Earth roleplaying game.

Sickly? Check. Old soul? Check. Mustachioed? Check. Kinda pervy? Check. Only fail is interest in young and then female bit. :(

But then you can get them all right when prophesying over a decade ago.
