Either Heather Grasshopper (cuz I am but a grasshopper) or Heather Hornet (cuz it sounds like a slutty super hero).

OMG Archer!?

*runs off to make a Jonathan Archer alt*

[edit] Nooooooo! Someone took it already! *cries*

Though I do like that last name, so prolly Lianne Archer.

Actualy, I dunno, looking through those none of them really pop out at me. I'll go with Torley's answer.

Hmm, they all suck

Probably DaSilva. Silva is the most common surname in Portugal.
It's our generic name for any sort of thorny bush, particularly the blackberry bush - it's everywhere around here!
"Da" just means "Of" / "From" (feminine singular form).

I like the one I have, though I wish I'd gone with a first name more people could pronounce.

If I joined today though, I'd probably go with Cherry Fizz, cuz it sounds yummy and a bit pornish at the same time.

Well I could be Milky Coffee, or SL Brotherhood.

There are a couple of U2 ones - Clayton and Mullen.

Dymtryk and Vantongerloo look cool.

However it would have to be Lulu - maybe Louisa Lulu.

Hmm, they all sound too commonplace. But the "exotic" ones sound yucky when I say them aloud. I know Daligdig ... that's Filipino. I don't like DaSilva only because in the novella "Noli Me Tangere" DaSilva was a bad priest who molested young girls ... something like that. It's a tough call ... only Snakeankle or Zaftig grab my attention.

When I chose my name, it was difficult in a different sense since there were a bunch of cool last names to choose from. I still wish there were more hispanic, japanese, and chinese surnames though. Like ... Monteverde, Corazon, Takako, Miki, Li, etc.

Anyways, the animal theme is kinda lame to me.

That's AMC you blasphemer!

I think it's funny that there are two AMC models now with names - Pacer and Matador. When are we going to get Gremlin?!

Whoops, just looked. Gremlin and Javelin are on the list too.. Would be Nolan Gremlin, possibly with a new first name.

I've seen a Nash Pacer running around here someplace. Now that's going back.

Snatsmi Thatch

Honestly none of the names there appeal to me much aside from maybe Caligari. But I love being Grimm - wouldn't want to change anyway.

They need more fantasy, literature, esoteric and mythical names on the list in my opinion.

Interesting SL-historical tidbit: I notice Groshomme has survived on the list to this day from the beta-era. I don't think there are any others from that time.

Means pleasingly plump, cute n chubby. shapely or perhaps even rubenesque. Mostly referring to the female chestal area (buxom!) - so yeh soft would work too

stay as me but..

05-07-2005 02:18

I would stay as I am without any doubt looking at that list.

Interesting to see that ' old names' have now vanished as options so some will become more and more rare. I wonder WHY NOT allow people to change their end name anyway, at least after a time, or a limited number times, even if for a fee? I am sure this is a thing many might want to do for seriously good reason, and if its not done to confuse or cheat in any way, why not Lindens allow this soon?

No what I WOULD like is to be able to pay to have a UNIQUE end name guaranteed to be yours alone... now there is another money idea for Linden. Also I think why not allow couple/partners to change their existing name to either one of their names only, OR to a new together name? Again I am sure people will pay for this and want this.

So in fact u can have a unique alone name then one day choose partner and allow a share of this name as a unique partner name only. That might make yet another thing to have to take care of in choosing a partner then if you are going to give this name away also.. ha

In meantime I keep the name I have and none of the list much would appeal to me now if I was to join as I cant find meaning in much of the names for me..
