So, you may look at my name and think, “Huh, what kind of name is that?” I know that probably relates to no one, but I’ll tell you how my name came to be if you really wanna know. So first, my mom was going to name me Arkady, (ahr-ka-dee) but my dad objected because he said that I’m not their cady (as in golf ig). So, he made Arkady my middle name and wanted my name to be Braxton, but with a twist fsr. So he named me Braddox. Anyways, I wanna see how you got your name or what it means cause I’m bored. ---

Sven is “originally” a swedish name, with the meaning (as far as it was told to me) of: “Young warrior”. My, not swedish, parents gave it to me because they had a thing for Sweden at the time. But to be honest, there are probably more german ravers called Sven, then there are Svens in Sweden. Edit: But there is also an awesome german artist called Sven. Sven Drühl. I saw his works in person at the art Gallery in Wuppertal abck in, ca. 2015 or so. So it also has it’s good sides :+1: ---
