Names That Say So Much

Names usually have meanings...and in the past... some would give great thought in naming their children...basing their selection on the meaning of the name that they selected.

Names have all sorts of origins...and the meanings have varying versions of the same name.

Today, names are chosen mostly for the sound of them....everyone wants to have nice sounding names.

Nicknames are very common....we even have them here on Thoughts.com.

Our screen names are nicknames that we give to ourselves.

Some of us use our real name or a form of it...but most like to make a name for themselves.

The screen name that we pick is of great interest to me.

I always wonder...and come to my own conclusion ....about why a screen name is what it is.

I chose my screen name for a very personal reason...it means something to me.

Anyone want to share why they chose their screen name?

I would really be interested.

I would like to see how close the truth was to my assumptions.

Why did you choose your screen name?

		Wow! I'm like Feiz! Finally a post that doesn't have 30 or 40 other comments yet! My sofa! My name says it all. I'm in this life to work for Jesus. Everything else I do or accomplish is (hopefully) wrapped up in that. Like Alice said a few days ago, He picked me up, took me out of my misery and made me what people now tell me is a pretty nice person. Glory be to God! I always love your posts DS. Keep on spreading the Love! Deb

		Hugs you - lovely post. My real time name, given when I was born actully translates as 'messenger from God' and my present dog, her name translates 'God is looking' and yes, I personally chose that name for her, even though as it says in my profile, I personally do not follow a 'God' as such. As for my 'kentlass' name, mainly the location I live in and the fact I am female and get called 'lass' alot - my nickname real time is 'Guardian Angel', due to fact am always helping people etc etc

		My screen name here is pretty obvious - I wanna be a mama. :) And when I do become a mama, I wanna name my child something with meaning - if a boy, he will be named after his grandfathers; if a girl, her middle name will be after my grandmother while her first name is up in the air. I have a favorite but it's really tough to know how to pronounce when you see it so I'm not sure - but the meaning of it is wonderful (to me).

		I picked Rainbow because just the other day there was a beautiful rainbow outside and I tend to find myself checking alot to see if there may be a rainbow outside after it rains. There are so many colors and its just a beautiful sight. Only God can create such beauty. Good Post DS.

		Oh yeah and one of my favorite songs is "Street of Dreams" by Rainbow.

		Good post DS. My screen name is kind of self explanatory I think, just relating to where I entered the world at, my origins. Boring, I know, but I'm a simple guy. lol

		Debwrkn4Jesus-.. I was right about yours. You are a very nice person...and you give God a good name. So many run around with his name attached to their characters...and then act like Devils. You are one of the good ones. You are sweet Deb, and you ae a very lovely person.
Posted by DifficultSoul on 2007-10-20 07:13:18


		oops...Deb..I hate typos. You are a very lovely person.

		Kentlass-.. Lass...what a wonderful nickname. I like it. I believe God is Love...and it seems from all of your kindness...that you follow Love very well. Peace.

		WannaMama-.. Having my son was my best accomplishment in life. He is what I am most proud of in all I have experienced. I hope you are blessed with your own.

		Rainbow-... I also have a love for rainbows. I recently did a painting and named it Rainbow in the Dark. I can see why you would name yourself after such a beautiful thing.
Posted by DifficultSoul on 2007-10-20 07:49:14


		Rainbow-.. I love music. I will have to look up your favorite song.

		bookgirl-.. Reading is a magical thing. It can transport you to wherever the book wants to take you. Words are a wonderous thing...especially when captured in a book.

		Pauligan-.. My first blog ever..my screenname was under the name my dad gave to me. Ginny...did you know me as Ginny? Ginny and Pauligan. We are such babies...hehe. I like it though. We must love our Dads'.

		HornyLittlePoker-.. Funny. Your screen name caught my attention. The picture is a good laugh...then to see the name? You made lil'devils endearing. hehe. Peace.

		Wayne-.. Meaning? That your name is a habit now...might as well stick with it? I like the name Wayne. My first boyfriend, crush, and kiss was named Wayne. Wayne Kegley. It was a fast whirlwind romance in kindergarten. So, yeah...stick with Wayne. It is a good name.

		scotslad-.. No no...never say you are boring. I thinks it is a fine name. Do you have an accent?
Posted by DifficultSoul on 2007-10-20 08:09:58


		hi difficult! i just wanted something that would be as silly and light-hearted as possible and that's why i did the little drawing too. it's a bit of a contradiction 'cause sometimes my blog isn't so light-hearted... :o) cheers!

		badlydrawnstickman-... Interesting. Contradiction exists in all things. I like it.

		Hi, D.S. Mine is my first and middle name. :) Guess I'm a bit of a plain Jane. :)
Posted by naomidarlene on 2007-10-20 21:47:34


		naomidarlene-.. I would not say that. Using your real name says a lot about you. It tells me that you enjoy being yourself. It is also a very pretty name. Thanks for sharing dear.
