Chatterbox: Down to Earth

NAME ORIGINS!!!

So what's the origin of your name? I know I have a long (and slightly complicated) one!

So once I took a patronus test-- um, actually, more like four of them. Twice I got a stag and twice I got an owl. And I couldn't choose which one I wanted more as a patronus. So I made up a new creature-- a stowl.

Okay, so a stowl is basically a creature with a head of an owl's, but with stag horns; a stag body, but wings. Just in case you were curious.

Then I decided I would use that as my nickname, because it's pretty cool. My nickname on Pottermore, that is. But the Pottermore Code of Conduct woudn't let me put "stowl", so I simplified it like this: St.owl.

So for a while I went around being Stowl. Then once I told my mom what my nickname was and how I abbreviated it. And she said, "that sounds like 'St.Owl'.", and it stuck.

What about you guys?
