Ah, a silly question here. Whence the nick? Sound very familiar to my Polish ears

No, not a silly question. Although, I'm at a loss to what you're actually asking. *confused face*

Ahem, let me try translating to actual English
Why is your DA nickname "Voievoda"? To me, it seems a very obvious Polish word. Is that it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD That helps.
I saw the word in a book I was reading and liked the look and sound of it. Been using it as an online alias for a few years now.
Your screen name?

So ka...
"Voievoda" is an old Polish title. Literally, it means "warriors' leader". It was retained from Middle Ages as a title for the governor of a fairly large administration unit - can't think of its Australian equivalent, since a state would be too big, a county too small and an Irish "region" like Munster or Leinster would be just about right
My nick is a conglomerate. Harks back to the time when my friends in Polish anime fandom started using compound nicknames which related to their chosen or given (yup) "animated alter-ego" as well as some more favourite characters, e.g. "Ami Kurata", from Sailor Mercury and Sana Kurata from "Kodomo no Omocha". Mine was a pretentious "Ayanami-Kou Seiya" (yup, I even decided to keep the double "surname" in front), for the boysband alter-ego (Kou Seiya) and the then favourite character, Ayanami Rei. Since "Seiya" is a fairly popular nickname, I decided to keep the one with surnames' initials so I can use it without bumping into "this nickname is already taken". "Seiya" is the name many of my old friends still use and the most ridiculous use I can remember is one of them saying to her BF "Hun, did you know Seiya is Seiya now" when I started singing for a heavy metal band.

Yes, it's perfect for my mermaid OC.
Despite not really being into manga, I have read the first Kodomo no Omocha. I thought it was really cute <3.
Ohh, singing <3.
I'm curious now. Not a huge fan a heavy metal, but there are some I find interesting.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's good to remember Kodomo no Omocha is, as the name suggests, addressed to a specific public 
Ah, metal. Now that's a huge topic

I noticed on the tektek you gave me that she's wearing a nose ring xD A lot of people seem to have missed that in the art you've commissioned from artists on gaia. Want me to include it despite that? (:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol. Lots of things don't get included xD. I'd love to see the nosering include, if it isn't too much trouble.
