hey same old anon here. i wanted to say you giving daniil additional patronym and surname both referencing christianity and archangel michael in some way is pretty ironic but also. my patronym and surname also both reference archangel michael (kust in a russian form) . whaddahell
i shalt not lie i gave his father the name mikheil without thinking about the archangel i just needed a name for him & dankovsky struck me as a mikhailovich so. mikheilovich because dad's georgian. mikheil which is georgian mikhail which is russian michael which is english מיכאל etc. also christianized countries/cultures have seven quadrillion biblical names & you basically got a saint having your name or a variation of it regardless if your family cares about that shit or is christian at all. (also saint peter and saint andrew were brothers btw. in the canon. and st peter's real name was not peter. queue pathologic's piotr's "You will make no mistake by calling me Peter. You can call me [something else] too, just for the sake of diversity, and it won't be wrong either" if you want to go that way)
however while i didn't call him son of mikheil because of the archangel [it's just. a common name that happens to be biblical. that's what happens] it's really funny think his name is Son Of Archangel Michael, Witness To The End Times (Revelations), Raiser Of The Dead (lol) As Per Book Of Daniel (LOL), Tamer Of The Beast And Winner Over The Devil. like how's them end times plagues going for you buddy. how's the lion pit.
