Wanted: One New Name

[drakyndra]

It has come to my attention (via altheas's rather disturbing co-worker, and some truly appalling Sue-fics) that as of late, the name "Melissa" has been used in a lot of disturbing and unnatural ways. As a barer of this name, I am shocked and appalled.

So, in order to escape these horrific connotations, I have decided that I shall now renounce the name Melissa, and take on an entirely new name.

Sadly, I have no suitable back-up.

So, I put this out to you, my noble flist: Find me a new name.

I am open to all suggestions, though I would quite like it if you can supply a good reason why said suggestions are suitable for me to take as my new name.

The winner will be rewarded with...something. I am sure it will be glorious and magnificent.

So, go, my flist, and find me a name!

Nice.

For the record Lucien is not a suggestion, it's a name I'm adopting at least around Goldie since she made the mistake of asking for my LJ under the name Lucien after the II ball I wasn't at.

A real name needs an amusing history behind hit so it has some narrative. If you're picking a new name you want a story to tell with it.

That is a point.

Care to supply me with an amusing narrative as well?

Excuse me while I make use of this convenient wall.

You will acquire a nickname for something you do, not because I feel like writing a story about a person I don't know that well.

Nicknames are both endearing and amusing creatures with a twisted sense of logic. I'd have to have been around you long enough to have seen you do a number of strange things which I can then link together with twisted logic and encapsulate in a single word. That would work. This bollocks about be justifying a name you want doesn't even remotely cut it.

Ever hear of a thing called "humour" dearie?

'Cos everyone else here seems to have gotten it.
