Reading the Name Game thread reminded me of my sister and I planning to take the world by storm in film - this was when we were younger and had plans. We decided that Goodacre (my maiden name and boy! was I glad to change it when I married the Dodo!) wasn't quite right so we were going to reverse it to read Ercadoog. And we would be the Ercadoog Sisters - Nasus and Nosila Ercadoog!

And you think Catherine Zeta Jones is a mouthful (the name that is!)

Just think what a lucky escape the world had!

Alrac Aiego would be even more impossible for people here to say!

Is it so hard to understand Carla? I've been called Caroline, Carol and a few other things!

Hmmmm....
Arobed Negninyehnav

or medievally:
Aneladgam Gnaslegov

I'd be nylorac, which sounds like some sort of pain killer, or possibly sleeping pill.

Carla, as a Carolyn I have the same problems as you with people getting my name wrong - usually I'm Caroline or Carol-ann. (And I hate the name Carol-ann, because the one person I know called that is eeevil.)

Same as the one person I've known (in the outside world) called Caroline... I'm sure you're nice though...

This is the work of an Italian narco-anarchic collective. Don't bother insulting them, they can't read English anyway.

I'm nice, usually...

When I'm not being sarcastic and/or scathing.



:--

Do something pretty while you can...

It's evil to be sarcastic or scathing?

Yeah right! That's such a stupid idea...

oh dear. I think half the fforum would be in trouble if it were...

Duh, have you never heard that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit? And "low" *obviously* means, like, from hell and evil stuff like that.

Even Dubya knows that sarcasm and scath...asm....ingness....whatever.... are symptoms which lead to devil worship and the ritual sacrifice of Apple Macs.

Aliwt Sivad Deer - sounds Indian to me... Maybe I could make it big in Ballywood

My name is as Mr. Fforde put it, "palendromic". Although I suppose you could pronounce it hannaH.

Let's see.....

Our favorite author would be: Repsaj Edroff

And our heroine would be: Yadsruht Txen

Mine's Trebor Nosnhoj.

Which is apparently where Trebor mints come from. Robert Rowntree reversed his name for his mints...

hehehe
I'm a weird Zirteab Aiego

I though Robert was his son's name? Could be wrong..

I'd be Divad Maharg. Sounds like a Bollywood hero...

Oooh, we could act together! LOL


Divad Maharg as the handsome hero
Aliwt Sivad Deer as the damsel in distress/captured princess

now we just need someone who sounds like the evil maharaja!

'Nomis Eveer'

(Which looks as though it belongs in Asimov's 'Foundation' trilogy?)

AAC: I like your idea. Not sure about the 'handsome' part, though we are talking fiction here... :-)

well, I'm not exactly a "princess" either, although I do tend to cop to that attitude once in a while!

and Dave, you're more handsome than you think! Wish we had more ginger boys on this side of the pond!

Naillig Rolyat - The first one sounds vaguely Gaelic.

Think I'll stick to plain old Gillian Francess San Valentine Taylor

Two of those four forenames are on my birth certificate. All of them are on the Jobcentre plus records, and reappear every time I sign on. I got whimsical about five years ago when I had to fill in too many forms and got bored. Since then I've had all sorts of enquiries from nice people asking about 'san Valentine'. One lady was convinced it was some kind of traditional family name and thought it was charming. She even wanted to know how 'Valentine' was pronounced.
Didn't have the heart to tell her I'd got it from this alchoholic criminal character I'd invented for a role-playing game
