Yes, I agree. I think we need a "niro".

Oooh, niro's fun!This made me blush.
I'm all about the Winter...its the best part of a year...and its a pretty word. Ta daaaaa anti-climatic story, right?
"Winter"'s a cool name. Oops, sorry.
I have always loved the Pegaus. I love the magic, ad mystery about them. The 216 is my birthdate.
I always wanted to be a real doowopgirl. You know the back up singer/dancers on stage behind the band? well, I can't sing or dance, so a virtual doowopgirl is as good as I'm going to get.

Neesy is a nickname from childhood given to me by my family
A few years ago I read a book called Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk.
I learned there was this band called The Dictators, with the vocalist named Handsome Dick Manitoba. I started to wonder, what would a made up name like that be in Finnish.
Since Manitoba is a province in Canada while the band is American, I 'translated' the name to KJ Norrbotten, since there's a province called Norrbotten in Sweden, our neighbour. The "KJ" are the initials of "H.D".
A screen name based on a King character would have been a better choice, but at that point I had no better idea.
But there's one screen name on this board, I'm kind of jealouse of: Ted the Power man, that's a real cool name.
(I'm pretty sure there's/was a member by that name)

Skeleton Crew was my favorite SK collection of short stories as a teen. "Do you, do you love? Yes, oh yes, I love" was such a haunting refrain. 19 is found wherever you look.
Thanks for starting this thread!

Hey, DJ, it's also my real first name, too. But, I go by Dan because I got tired of explaining to people 'No, It's not just a girls name.' Looks like there's actually three of us Dana's here on the board (see Danie's post)!
actually, Dana is traditionally a boy's name. For a long time, I kept asking my mom, "Why'd you name me a boy's name?"
And there is a 4th Dana who is a beta, but she hasn't been here for a long time.
Same thing I'd ask my Mom, too. She was feeling awfully English when she named me- Dane Bentley- as in LORD Bentley (at least that what I tell myself and my cats when they get testy with me).
My name is Estelle....heavenly body or stellar as in star.
I know several guys named Dana in Newfoundland. Not uncommon as a guy's name where I came from. I really love that name.Same thing I'd ask my Mom, too.

Estelle is a female given name of French derivation usually interpreted as meaning "star" via equation with "estoile" the Old French form of the modern French "etoile" whose Latin root is "stella".
