Roxi is my dogs name. Easy choice.
Bingyi...I have no idea. Didn't think I'd be staying so long and just picked whatever.

My brother has a great name though, Watzup Dawg.

I was eating a Snickers® bar when it came to name picking time and the last name Snook seemed to fit. Depending on my mood, I've both loved my name and regretted it ever since. I had no idea I would be here this long. :P

Joy was my phone sex name in the nearly 12 years I was in that industry. I joined SL due to an ad I saw on a phone sex operator's message board, in regards to virtual escorting. I didn't know that SL had no voice and virtual escorting was text based. I just thought the animation would accompany my usual work, and I liked that idea, believed it to be the next big thing in phone sex, and wanted to start learning it early in hopes of mastering it when it became the phone sex standard. Sounds crazy now, I admit.

Within a few days I was hooked and by the end of the first month, I had made a few land trades.

I chose Iddinja, just cause it sounded slightly exotic.

My real name is Joseph, but that was not availible for any of the last names at the time. Some one took them all. But that's ok, you already had a Joseph anyway. I have a close friend who is a Jewish Russian who calles me Yosef when she is teasing me; kind of like a motherly reproach. So I took that from of the name.

Okelly was just a random pick that I could remember how to spell.

Georgie is a variation in spelling from the 1966 movie "Georgy Girl" - A homely but vivacious young woman...

Pashinin is the closest to the word "passion"

Zan comes from the middle of my RL name.

Beck now I would like to sound really up with music and say this is because of Beck the musician and although I do like him it was only cos Beck was simple.

Rae is my rl middle name
I chose Whiteberry because my rl last name contains a color, and has an organic sound to it. Whiteberry contains a color and has an organic sound as well.
My alt, Raeven Morgwain, however, is a different story.
Raeven (derived from "Rae";) is associated with death and war in celtic mythology, and is also connected to the Otherworld. Morgwain is as close as I could get to Morrigan, the Irish goddess associated with prophecy, war and death. Oh, and did I mention that Raeven is a tarot card reading drow....

Keira is the name that I plan to have my RL name legally changed to eventually... Wells is just a name that I saw in the list and thought it sounded fine together, so chose it.

From: Aebleskiver Thibedeau
Aebleskiver is a throw away word I use for choosing log on names. It's always available, and I really hate having any name with lots of numbers in it---Ann29399040-----my mind does not embrace numbers in that way.

So when I discovered SL, having this weird misconception that it was some sort of computer game (isn't that silly?), I slapped 'Aebleskiver' in the blank space without thinking. I had absolutely no idea that I would be explaining the name for my entire second life, or even that I had a potential second life. Totally clueless. <shakes head ruefully>

Aebleskiver is a Danish spherical pancake filled with sweetened apple, and covered with powdered sugar, or served with jam. It's a traditional Christmas dish, although my Danish mother serves it year round.

It's pronounced 'Ebble-Skewer" by the way, not 'Skiver' (you Brits know who you are). Don't call me no lazy git!

Thibedeau comes from my current fantasy to sell out here in the US and buy an abandoned farm in the Auvergne in France to learn traditional French farmstead cheesemaking from the native cheesemakers there.

Vive la France! :)


I'm very familiar with Aebleskiver! There's a Danish restaurant in the town where I grew up - little golf balls of joy. I love them.

Do you mind if I PM you and talk to you a little about your cheesemaking plans?

Riko is the name of the person I was talking to on the phone at the time I set up the account. I picked Jarman off the list of last names at random.

Well, my RL-name is Nuno and since I was looking at my Harry Potter' books I just picked McCullough because it was the most similar to McGonagall (my favourite teatcher at Hogwarts) lololol

When I made this account I looked on the list of last names on SL and the CSi signup pages....I picked this one off the CSI site. I thought Gordonstone sounded distinguished and the whole name Smoke Gordonstone sounded very Days of Thunder-ish. Weird combination, but I liked it.

1) Start with the 1st 3 letters of your last name

2) Add the first two letters of your first name

3) Add the first two letters of your mother's maiden name

4) Add the first two letters of the city in which you were born

5) Then you are allowed to remove one letter to make it sound cool.

Colnihobe - n = Colihobe

I prefer Keira XD

Lafisfomo (sounds like Lucifer's little brother)

How about the name of your first dog, and the name of the first street you lived on, (I think this is what you're suppose to do to find your 'exotic dancer' name).

Me = Minifée Earnscliffe

OK, I'm sticking with Isabeau Imako.

That would make my exotic dancer name be Michelle Bell....don't know how that would go over for a 6 foot tall hairy dude. I'll stick to my day job! :D

Mclibido???? I removed a letter to make it pronounceable, but nothing will make this name sound cool!

My exotic dancer name is marginally better. Pixie Sideview

LOL, that actually has possibilities.

Aussie Allen?

Sounds more like a nerdy biker name or something o.o

Again..I prefer Keira Wells XD

And now, please show your appreciation for the lovely Michelle Bell.

Ya, that's pretty good.
You could have an alt named Smooth Jekyll.

McLibido sounds like a pornstar name..

Maybe Pixie McLibido?

Yeah...you'd make millions, just off the name!
