Cool. Which culture are we talking here - sounds Welsh.

I tried various female names starting with the letter S when I first transitioned, none of them felt quite right, so I created the name zythyra from my birth name. Obviously I use it as my screen name too.

Z

I chose Shades O'Grey as a pseudonym some time ago. It reflects my opinion that there is more to any given issue that black/white.

Uhm, well, it's a story.

Moira means a lot of things. First of all, I really like the name and it's much like the name I will take when I change it officially (that name being Maria). Moirae is a term for the Fates in various mythologies. I sign my posts with Moi (french for "me"). Oh, and Moiraine is my favourite character in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. Moira is probably also going to be my artist's name when I release an album.

The Midnigh part is also complex. I have been Moira-at-Midnight other places, since I rarely log on anywhere until it's 11 o'clock here, which makes it 12 o'clock for anyone a little further east than me. So that earned me the nick Midnight. Midnigh was, originally, a spelling error in Guitar Hero (naming my band, y'know), but it just stuck. Since I'm always on close to Midnight, I.e. Mid-nigh.

Put them together, you get moi. Also, I am quite fond of the letter M.

Revived the old thread, yeah, but I had considered starting my own anyway, so this was the lesser evil. I think it's always fun to see where people get their inspiration.

That's interesting. You sound like a rather intriguing girl. What sort of music you do?

I was toying with changing my online name to Kate already, and was shocked to find it hadn't been taken yet when I joined Susans. I figured hey, must be Fate, so who am I to argue?

Maybe.  Me to know, you to find out.

Person who guesses correctly gets smooching rights to me, LOL.

I chose my name in honor of the women who walked on the wings of aircraft during the age of "barnstorming" that took place after World War I.  Some of my brothers and sisters here have had transitions and lives that seem to me to have felt a lot like going through the sound barrier without benefit of being inside an aircraft.  I chose it to honor them, too.

Well, I haven't written anything of my own for a while now. I've got quite a writer's block, might have something to do with all this change going on and my emotions wearing thin and all. Yada yada. It's getting better lately, and I hope to overcome it when I start moving out.

Once I get out of it and start writing again, it is singer/songwriter style. If you know Tina Dickow (Dico) and Tim Christensen, it's that kind of music I write on my own. With the band, we make 80's rock. With my friends, we make indie and electronica.

But I'd love to be just a girl and a guitar.

Years ago I picked Samantha just because it was the first thing to pop into my head.  Now, I don't know.  Yesterday I found a list of androgynous, mythological names online and I really liked Aeron.  He/She (there seems to be confusion on whether it was a God, Godess or both) was the God(ess) of Battle & Slaughter.  I've always been into gory, mythological games.  So, Aeron it will be!

Chaunte is a somewhat exotic morph of my male name.  And it is what I am known as here at Susan's.
