What is the meaning of your username? Why you pick it? :idea:

Soulguard = my idea that i need to guard my soul as the angels guard it also.

Pelly = a pelican

:dancing-banana:
A common Catholic family name on both sides; a middle name; like St. Francis of Assisi, St. Francis Xavier, St. Francis de Sales, St. Frances Cabrini. A good, all-purpose name that I don't mind being called IRL. The crab avatar goes with St. Francis Xavier. I keep pet crabs.

I'm a mama and very happy about that, and cha cha is what I call my daughter because she used to take half steps when she was learning to walk and it looked like she was doing the cha cha.

Sigismund · « **Reply #4 on:** April 07, 2014, 09:19:57 PM »

I decided to pick a name that was as unlike me as possible. Sigismund was the only Unitarian king in history, and was a Transylvanian. I am none of these things, so it fit the bill.

So that's it!

Very interesting topic, SG. It should be linked to "Introduce Yourself".

User names either :
1) intrigue me as in " I wonder what that means to this person?", i.e., Sigismund, Pelly (and many others)
2) elevate my contemplation i.e., Soulguard, Frances (and many others) or
3) make me smile i.e., Mamachacha, Neil Obstat

Re: mine. When I came to tradition 12 years ago, I was particularly fascinated by the whisper of the priest after the Gospel. I looked up what he was praying and it touched my soul for some reason.

We need a thread "What Mass prayers or parts of prayers do you find most inspiring?"

I came to Tradition around the same time I read The Interior Castle by St. Teresa of Avila. At the time I felt I was only in the 1st mansion, as she described it. I added 'tenant' because it was (is) my intention to continue to move forward, and not to stay forever (own) in the first one.

Just want to say I regret not choosing a funny username, like quasimodo.

It honors Our Lord as it means "Jesus, the King" in Dutch. I'm not of Dutch ancestry, rather Hispanic, but I can speak it at a relatively conversational level.

After my Patron Saint, Saint Thomas More:

TKGS = The King's Good Servant, but God's first.
