Ok... So i have found a name, which i really like, a while back now. I just chose Eloise because i joined the forum and at that stage haven't thought about a name. I didn't want a too simple feminization [sp?] of my boy name, namely Louise, because:
1) it was too close to my boy name imo, and
2) it didn't really sound like me.
So i chose Eloise which was not too far or near my boy name.
Anyway- i wanted to change my name on here, to the name i finally chose, when i come out to my mom... Which, truth be told, will take alot longer than i think it would, OR if some other major thing happens.
I know i haven't made a big impression yet, or probably get noticed, but everytime i get quoted, or being replied on the name Eloise, i feel that I'm actually lying to you all. I hate that feeling.
So I'm just going to change it... And get it done with.
Haha.
Ok... So...
hi all.
I'm going to change it on my profile at the end of the day- in case you were wondering. It's just- well... give it one more day... Please. (-^.^-)
And to mark the "special event" i wanted to happen, so i can remember it- well...
~here~ (http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd251/offthesidewalk/Mealiceband_27-06-08) i am as of a few days ago.
So yeah- it is done.
You can all yay and welcome, if you want to... I won't stop you.
Just don't quote the picture- i don't like any picture of me... So i just might want to take it down sometime. *blush*
So- hello. *waves* (-^.^-)

What a beautiful name!
What made you choose that one?
It sounds a bit German.

yeah... it is a bit german. german names are popular among Afrikaans speakers. so yeah...
And yes- Hehe... I do get you. Liezl is a variation of Liesl and in turn is short for Elizabeth. (according to behind the name)
but thanks for the compliment, Drik. *HUGGLES*

I was wondering when you were going to make the switch. :)
Huh, I didn't know about it being short for Elizabeth... but I guess that means I was right with Liz, lol. ;)
Awesome! *hugs*

Congrats, cute name!
I have an Afrikaan Girl in the softball team I coach, her name is Elzet, which I also think is a derivative of Elizabeth>

Congrats on the new name as I have said before it's a pretty name. It don't bother me how people spell their names I copy and past their name anyway to make sure there are no errors. I would make a poor witch I dont spell to well.

It is a cute and feminine name. Congrats.

I wouldn't say that you haven't made an impression. I always love reading your postings.
Cindybc,
Every good witch has a spell checker. ;D

Of course you've made a big impression! :icon_hug: (And not for the wrong reasons, either :angel:).
It's a lovely name, I'm glad you've found a name you're happy with. :)
("Feminization [sp?]" - 'z' for American spelling; if you were going for British, it'd more likely be an 's'. But it's still correct ;D. Just in case you were losing sleep over it ;)).
No, that's excellent, well done. :icon_clap:

My goodness yes, and all the greedy people, the power hungry, liars, swindlers, mass murderers, thieves. and a whole assortment of self proclaimed tin gods blowing their tin flutes and what ever all other nose pickers out there. Just nice people and witches only allowed. Have a wonderful evening hon.

Umm... what happened to Eloise, does anyone know? Is everything alright? I know people may leave, but yeah... just wanted to make sure everything's OK.

Hi all, she's doing fine Wing Walker and I talk with her occasionally via instant messenger. She has had her newer cell phone stolen on her and is using her older cell which I am of the understanding is a pain in the tush for using online, so she may not be able to log onto Susan's
