Audrey

Well aside from it being my new name, I like it.  It took me forever to decide what I wanted my name to be and then after watching Breakfast at Tiffany's it hit me.

jessi73

I chose Jessi because it is short for my soon to be legal name Jessica.
That came about by asking my mom what she would have named me if I was born female.  I felt that she should have some say in it because I wanted her to know that I was and am still their child.  Sounds kinda mushy, but, that's how I felt.

GypsyKaren

I've been Karen since I was 14 and it's now my legal name, and my wife gave me my nickname Gypsy a few years ago because I'm a wee bit of a free spirit, she got the idea from a Bob Dylan song.

Gina_Taylor

I've had my name for the last eight years and I was just sitting at my computer and it just popped into my head and I liked it. But the full name didn't come all at once. I like things to roll off the tongue nicely, so it took me a little time to decide what I like dbest fo rmy middle name and then my surname, and once I found it I was so happy. It felt as though I had been reborn!

Shandralyn Alaia

I chose this name as I've been using it online for a while now.  Alaia is actually a Basque name meaning joyful or happy.  Were I to pick a new name for my RL self, Alaia would probably be it.

Alaia is a really pretty name.

Hi Frank, before I go any further, which are you F*M or M*F  or none of the above. I think once this is established, probably, as most folks here know by now, that I like playing imagination. I can share some of it with you if you wish.

Victoria L.

It's very simply my chosen name.

Why did I choose it over so many other names? It's a very pretty name... I really like it. :laugh:

kirakero

kirakero comes from my real name, and my older screen name

Kero is the beast from an anime called Cardcaptor Sakura.  I chose to use that name because the beast was genderless.  Thus I could use it and not be defined as girl or boy online in my period of 'self awakening' and 'identity reconstruction'.

Kira is two things: One, derived in my case from kero.  (I had a friend who liked Kita as her name, so... all around the same lines).  Two, there was a girl in my seventh grade class, her name was Kira...  She was the only person to show me absolute kindness in middle school.  I ended up going to home school, but I still remember that day.  Coincidently, she is the only Kira I know from the real world, beside me of course.

Annwyn

Annwyn is my intended name.

It's got a pretty deep-rooted meaning that's hard to dig up online.  Actually, the only site that got it right was a GAMING site, LOL.

Anyone wanna guess?

I have my own chatroom on one of my boards and it's never used. I don't really care for them, I can't type fast enough and aaaaaaaaaak all those typos. I do Ok in a one on one chat, and that is only occasionally with my bestest male friend or brother. A really wonderful gentleman.
