Pandev, My nickname

Nicknames weren’t something I liked that much. People choose their names based on many things but it never pushed me. Well, I was a young man with a name of my own so I didn’t see the need to have a nickname. Time was friendly and we grew. But before I continue, is it always the case we like our nicknames or they were forced on us? Let me start with mine.

Being a football fan and a lover of PlayStation, I was always in the game center because I couldn’t own one. We had people choose various teams and one dominant one was Inter Milan. That was in the 2014s, I think. In the squad was a player named Pandev. A great player. He was good and had everything a player was supposed to have to be a world classic. Coach Mourinho used them plus Muntari, Ghana, and Eto’o Cameroon to take his champions league. All I’m saying is, he was a great player then.

One day on an unusual occasion we made our stand on the football grounds. We were playing and I had the ball going to the poles. I had my player already there who wanted to call me. He didn’t know my name; he needed the ball but didn’t know what to know. As we always play the PlayStation, he looked at me with that resemblance of Pandev and said, “Pandev”, I gave him the pass and that was how I landed my nickname. After the match, everyone was like, “It was a great game today, Pandev. We never thought you could play.”

I didn’t like the name but I couldn’t deny it either. Because nicknames spread wide when you begin to tell people to stop calling you by it. I left it and today I must say I’m okay with it. it’s a name I love. it makes me unique sometimes. I went for an election and coincidentally someone and I had the same names. I mean, “Osman Abdul Wahab”. The one way we could different ourselves aside from our faces is “Pandev”

But as how it's mentioned, I always fight with Hive account@depreesedfuckup when he says Pan-Dev making it a polysyllabic name. It’s one-word and monosyllabic. So, this is how I came by Pandev and I love it. The name is “Pandev”
