Title: Trying out a new name
Post by: ChildOfTheLight on July 29, 2007, 12:20:26 PM
As the title says.

It's excessively Jewish, hehehe.  But I really like it, so I'll use it for now.

It's androgynous as well.  :)

Hmmm I like it... It has a nice flow, and I love how the R rolls off my tongue (ehh pronounciation?)
It has a somewhat mystical ring to it alike Morgan La Fae.. Yup yup, I'm pro. ;)

I like your new name Adina. Mazel tov!

My first name Zythyra might not be recognized as Jewish since i made it up, however my middle name, Basha, taken from an Eastern European ancestor whom I never met, is a Jewish name.

Zythyra

Nice name, Adina

Something ominous going on there.

Hmmmmmmmm?

I've switched back to the original.  "Adina Mordecai" started looking unwieldy to me, so I tried just "Adina," but as much as I like that name, I was uncomfortable with that, so I went back to where I started.

Maybe one day you'll bump into the right name; stumble over it, or trip and curse it right after. I hope you will :)

Just keep searching but don't try too hard.  Your true name is making its way to you, but sometimes it takes a while.  Be patient, try on a few more if you like, but when it hits you, you will know.

Hang in there, hon

I like my birth name well enough, actually.  I also like Adina, so I used it on here for a while (Mordecai is the Hebrew middle name my parents gave me, though not my legal middle name, and I like it as well.)  I like "Adina Mordecai," actually.  I just decided I didn't like the way it looked as a forum name. 

So back to my original forum name I go.
