Hi all!
I �m Stexstme - who can pronounce that ??! I can �t!!  This post comes from a pm I got, asking me : �Why on Earth did you choose such a name ???! � :o) I thought it might be fun to know about you ALL....
Sorry - I �m bored & desperate! My �new � school year is just like ...Hell. But , never mind... How did you choose your name here ?? Real name ? Birth date ?? Other ...?
Mine is basic, I �m afraid!
Stex = Saint Exupery ( I �m a book lover + it �s the name of my school!) + Stme = Saint mere Eglise = the village where I teach. ( Saint is shortened St in French.)
Stexstme = My school + the village where I teach. Simple. Not clever....Not easy to remember! How about you ???

Hi
You shoudn �t have explained, Sylvie, it would have been great if you asked people to guess and, if someone would be that clever to discover it, you could offer a prize.
I lost my opportunity to receive the first prize.
As someone I know used to say:
" But it isn �t fair . "
See you later, alligator

Thx for playing!  edit : Still, I�d love to be called �silk�!!! My first name sounds like � If he lives� in French.
My psy is on vacation.
Thx for your understanding.

Giovanni is part of my maiden name.
Sylvie your name was well thought out. Even if I had known your origins, I would never have guessed it. |

Hi Silke
How could you say such a thing? Of course you are fully right, but the poor little tweety didn �t need to know. But it is an injustice!
Well, my name has nothing special, it �s just my first name - Olinda + one of my surnames - Lima. Very creative, isn �t it ?
My nick has always been Linda, I suppose because people look at me and they say: Wow, she is such a beautiful, wonderful , pretty, elegant, slim, amazing woman.
That �s it. Shocked with my sincerity?
LOTS OF LOVE / LAUGHTER
Linda

petili

petili is a combination of the first syllables of my first name Petya and my surname Ilieva
Nothing so clever but I use it as a nickname every time I have to register and it �s easy to remember  Hugs from Bulgaria

yanogator

Mine is a nickname that I acquired in high school (many years ago). "Yano" is the first half of my last name (from the Serbian name Jano�). In high school my older brother was nicknamed Yanobear (He was an athlete). A mutual friend decided that I needed my own animal name, so he dubbed me "Yanogator". I liked it, so I use it here and as my e-mail address.

Hi sylvie,
At least your nickname is original, no one could steal it from you!
And I never though of sylvie as "if he lives"! What �s more your name comes from the latin "silva" meaning forest, isn �t it better than "if he lives"?
Sylvie is also a forest flower:
 Aren �t you a beautiful flower?
Hugs

My horrible name (in quite a pessimistic mood myself...) comes from my real name and the initials of my first four family names (never had the patience to investigate any further, but don �t want to forget these four!)
Have a great evening!
