It took me far too long to realize how awesome a name Madraguda is, and the possible implications of having a mod named that.

It's a positive thing, but it took me a whole year and a half (+/-) to figure it out. !Que tonto!

Another word is aramanacer (though most likely the verb form). Musical theatre can be educational!.

I'm sorry Hungry Joe, but the mod is Madrugada.

I think...

Madrugada, actually.

As for "Madraguda," it sounds a bit like Barracuda to me.

I always thought Madrugada was a mis-spelling of Mandragora, a mythological plant creature.

Madrugada = Dawn (not sunrise, the time period)

Noimporta = Doesn't matter

Weissritter = White Knight

Yamikuronue = Black nue of darkness

[down] a Japanese mythical creature.

Should I tell how I named my online persona Leigh Sabio?

I think a little lightbulb literally went on over my head when I figured this out for myself the first time.

Leigh is after Vivian Leigh. Sabio is after Marilyn vos Savant, my then-idol. It's become my alter-ego ever since.

Weissritter = White Knight

Well ACTUALLY!

Since the "weiss" (which should technically be spelled "weiß") is not inflected to fit the noun, a more accurate translation would be "Knight of White". It probably is possible to use it as it is and still have "weiss" be an adjective rather than a noun, but that would require taking some liberty and it feels like it would only be done if one was a member of a group called "Die Weißritter" or somesuch. So, "Whiteknight" might also be an accurate translation.

... kaykay.

My foreign-language name means "fly", as in the insect. Very exciting.
