I loved shininglight, and am still rolling from foglight/foghorn. JE, you're just as good as I am!!!
Lost, I am a fine writer. I am an awful titler. (That looks kind of bad - maybe it should be spelled title-er?) The only reason the names are good in my books is I find inspiration on baby name websites. Sometimes I try to picture what it would look like if I wrote one of those sci-fi books where they completely make up all the names, so they sound extra cool. Frightening.

I'm called INTEXAS because I live in Minnesota.
No, just kidding.
No creativity here when I chose a name. Except that I have lived in texas as long as I have known WH. I moved here a week before college started, and met him the first day.
So "in texas" is where this all began and maybe will end.
Loved this thread. I thought MelodyLane was where mel lived--like her street name or something. These were great.

"Patient Griselda" is a character in the Clerk's Tale from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.
Her husband decides to "test" her faithfulness and takes her two children away by turns, telling her they are dead. She stays with him.
Then he kicks her out of his palace, telling her that their marriage was illegitimate. She tells him she loves him and requests a scrap of clothing to cover her nakedness. He refuses.
Then he brings her back to help prepare his "new bride" for his wedding. Griselda does so out of love for Walter.
Imagine her surprise when the "new bride" turns out to be her long-lost daughter and she is told that not only is her son on his way home, but also that Walter has always wanted to have her as his wife, but he just wanted to test her.
Lucky Griselda - gets to keep Walter in the end....

‘Suzet’ is just a name that popped up in my head while I was registering. I don’t have any idea why this name popped up in my head (talk about boring)! There is no meaning behind it and it doesn’t even have anything in common with my real name (not even the letters except the ‘e’! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />). Actually, after I'd registered, I found out I have spelled the name incorrectly – the right spelling is ‘Suzette’! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> The * after my name was added after I had to register again as a new member back in 2004 after I had changed my e-mail address and couldn’t get the new password.

This has been an interesting thread!
I had a hard time coming up with a name when I was registering. I think I tried several names that were already taken, and I just felt at the time that I want my life to be "normal". I think I even wrote that in my very first post. When I registered, I was in deep withdrawals from ending an online A. So I just put in 2BNormal...which I don't like at all! I've been wanting to change it, but still don't know what to change it to!

lost tiger-- what about DeadKitKat, TakeABreakKitKat, KickitKitKat
Mine's Ruffled because that's how I felt after Dday. I couldn't sleep (ruffled sheets) and my hair was ruffled all the time. I lost my password, when MB redesigned this board, so I re-registered as RuffledNOT. I didn't want to be confused and upset about my M anymore.
Caren, if you remember, the name on my email addy is my real, given name. It means 'courtesy'. It's a name from my dear old Dad.
And you know what? The only time when stbxh calls me by my name is when he has something serious to tell me. He often just start speaking... he starts with 'You know" or "Did you". I almost never hear him address me by my name. He calls his OWs 'Baby', but no endearing pet names for his wife of 10 years. I'm envious.

Mine is from the Elton John song "Harmony".
He sings..."Harmony, Gee I really Love you and I want to love you forever...and dream of never, never, never leaving Harmony" Then he repeats the name over and over....
I have always loved this song since I was about 11-12 years old... it became "ME", my "inner being" name.
That and also I always strive and hope for harmony in my life and in all things around me.
Oh, and I love to sing , too, so THAT is a big thing for me too! LOL!!!

Orchid I'm with you!! Walter must have had something pretty great going for him I say.
Someone in an earlier post said that they thought MelodyLand must have been where she lived. Well that is where I got mine from - Georgina is my street name.

(Follow-up for English geeks only:)
It gets even "nastier" when you read Chaucer's moral (roughly translated):
This story is said not so wives should
Follow Griselda in humility,
For it would be impossible even if they wanted to,
But so that every person, "in his degree"
Should be "constant in adversitee"
As was Griselda [...]
For since a woman was so patient
Unto a mortal man, well more we ought
To receive graciously all that God has sent us
For it is very reasonable that he proves what he made
But he does not tempt any one whom he bought"
To me, this just sums up the ridiculousness of the whole thing. To somehow suggest that Walter's treatment of Griselda mirrors God's treatment of humanity reeks of "blame-the-BS-BS."
