5 is my lucky number!

 

[elrohwen]

Ooo, I''m first on your list! I''ll share. I''ve used my name long before PS on messaging applications, etc in college.

My name is from Lord of the Rings. Elrond has two sons (they didn''t make it into the movies) and one is named Elrohir. It basically means Elvish knight, and I like to ride horses, so I thought it was fitting. I just changed the -hir ending to -wen to make it a feminine name.

I''m pretty sure that makes me a huge dork

DH''s bestman actually brought up my name in his speech at our wedding - I guess he and DH thought it was so cool that I was a Lord of the Rings dork when they first met me

If you''re a dork, so am I! Elle will confirm this.

I love Lord of the Rings (books

and movies). In fact, I''ve been watching Fellowship everynight for the last 5 nights...still haven''t finished because I keep falling asleep

My name is just me

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

My name was inspired by one of my favorite movies-Hudson Hawk, starring Bruce Willis and Andie McDowell. It''s a fantastic movie if you''ve never seen it.

Clearly I've never even heard of it or I might've thought of it

I was thinking it sounded like an athletic team located in the Hudson Valley ... the Hudson Hawks! Haha

{runs off to Netflix}

eta: It's even available instantly! I'll have to watch it this week or next.

Thanks Steal.
It should have occurred to me this would be a universal question.

Are you strong a Steal?

 

[Lauren8211]

Confirmed, Bia.

 

[monarch64]

I have often wondered if you are the SouthPark character who is always getting killed.

You are welcome Kenny. Glad you don''t think I was trying to be a smartie pants.

My name means nowt, nada, nothing at all. And even less than it did yesterday

Does your name here mean something?

FrekeChild - do you have a child that is freaky?

I know a lot of the answers to the other ones, but I''ll leave those for the owners to answer.

Freak Child was a nickname given to me by a big football player when I was 14/15. I was little (5''2, 100 or so pounds then, he was 6''4+ and 300 pounds), I was weird and he didn''t like me. So that was the name he gave me. Instead of being embarrassed about it, or letting it humiliate me, I embraced it and it is still one of my monikers today at almost 28 years old. I do respond to "Freke" in real life, and in fact, it does not even register unless someone points it out.

It became Freke on the internet because Freak was taken. I do not have any children, and don''t know if I ever will. Even if I do, I wouldn''t call them anything like that.

Pink sapphire asscher cut (6.5mm) surrounded by a double halo of 16 natural pink sapphires and 50 white diamonds, set in pink gold. After 3 years of looking at my 3 stone engagement ring I want a little color! Bam! Hahaha

That''s certainly a "little" color. Haha. It sounds fantastic!

 

[zoebartlett]

Steal -- you did just change the spelling of your name, right? I could have sworn it was "Steel."

 

[dragonfly411]

Ahahah! Kenny that was awesome.

My aunt and I share a deep love for dragonflies in artwork/craft. For instance, my upstairs bathroom has a dragonfly shower curtain (little artistically painted ones flying about) and a neatly crafted hand painted plate hangs on the wall with a dragonfly on it. I love dragonfly artwork... they are pretty and calming to me.

4 is my birthday month.


11 is SO''s birthday month.

 

[dragonfly411]

elrohwen - I now love your name. I also love LOTR AND I love to ride

[Prana]

Mine is just an old name that my FI used to call me when we were 15 or so. He called me it once and it just kind of stuck.

 

[Amethyste]

It''s my name! Amethyste-Lyne is too long, so I go with Amethyste.
Hated it in 1st grade though!

I was JUST thinking the same thing! Am I going crazy?

 

[Lilac]

Lilac just comes from me liking the color - I love the color and picked it for my wedding (well I picked purple, but I thought lilac sounded prettier).
