I don't think I posted in Part I, so I'll post on this thread because second is the best.
Though I sometimes briefly change my name around holidays or something I find amusing, my name has been Prince Nicky La Flama Blanca for ~6 years now.
-"Prince" in reference to Prince Henry the Navigator, the Portuguese prince who helped initiate overseas exploration in the 1400s. I love history and geography, so he's a fascinating figure for me. I also like that he had a nickname attached to his name.
-"Nicky" is my name. I was born a few days before Christmas and named in honor of Saint Nicholas (Santa Claus).
-"La Flama Blanca" translates in English to "the white flame." I grew up in South Texas, an area greatly influenced by the largely Hispanic/Latino population. Besides occasionally using Spanish words and phrases when speaking and having a love for Mexican food, I have also adopted some aspects of the local culture and meshed them into my own largely-European background. It's also a reference to the TV show Eastbound & Down and the fact that I was often called a "gringo" growing up.
Sometimes I add "De La Ley" to my name because I am currently a law student. I also just find it amusing to make my long name even longer.
