ProTH
ProTH is an Internet handle I used to go by, short for Professional Treasure Hunter. Â It was my way of using something related to Final Fantasy VI's Locke, while still being something unique.
Issues I ran into with this name:
- Less unique than intended. Â With the internal capitalization, sure, but as it turns out there would be people like "Paul Roth" getting [email protected] email addresses. Â Also Proth is an uncommon surname. Â That there are Proth primes in math is pretty cool.
- People who would shorten it to Pro. Â Just weird like shortening Josh to Jo.
- Though the internal capitalization made sense considering the combined words, it is uncomfortably close to something completely stupid like AwEsOmEgUy.
Nowadays I generally just use my own name, though I've come to use a derivative of the ProTH name for an increasing number of games where Joshua seems toooo plain. Â Translating into French, Google gives me:
Professional Treasure Hunter -> Chasseur de Trésor Professionnels
Using my prerogative to make he name pronounceable I put the Pro back in front, left only the capital at the front of the name, and came out with Procht. Â Soft ch, not sounding like the beginning of proctologist, thank you very much. Â Though it turns out like Proth before it, this too is an uncommon surname! Â D'oh!
