My name is Jēkabs and Ješka is a nickname for Jēkabs (although not one that I use for myself). Unfortunately, Jeska and Jeshka are already taken on many websites. After experimenting for a while I at first used Jeshka_ (which is my handle on last.fm and possibly some others), then switched to Jeshk0, which I'm slowly spreading across any websites that I may frequent.

Thankfully it's uncommon enough that I've not run into any problems. So if you ever find a Jeshk0 on another website, chances are it's me.
