My real name is Pedro (Portuguese for Peter).
As Peter turns to Pete (indicating a young Peter or a little Peter), or John turns to Johny, an so on, here in Brazil we use to put "inho" (for male substantives) and "inha" (for female substantives) in everything's name that we want to indicate that it is small or young. For example: a hammer (martelo, in Portuguese), when is a small hammer, we call it martelinho; Paulo (Portuguese for Paul) turns to Paulinho; Laura turns to Laurinha, and so on. So, Pedro turns to Pedrinho - not that I am small nor young, by the way...
During the last December, I was too busy, and after some struggles here on forum, I decided to take a break on posts for a month or two, and to play with a different name than "Pedrinho", to not being bothered. During this few weeks, some new player registered "Pedrinho" (what a coincidence, huh?), and when I came back to MOM, I realized that I couldn't use my name anymore... So, now I keep using Pedrinho on Forum, but in game I am just -Ped-, because every friend here calls me that way. And it sounds good - although
very weird to Portuguese-speaking people...
A long explanation for a not-inspiring nickname - but it worth the short Portuguese facts...
