Where does your username come from?

    • So, I'm curious- why did you choose your username, and if its in another language, or, like mine, not a word at all, what does it refer to?

    Mine is quite embarrassing. I was in a band in high school, and the first three letters represent the bands name. The last three are my initials. I use it for anything I sign up for, but if I could change it, I would for this board.

    Okay, your turn. :popcorn:

    • My user name is after St Emerentiana.  I chose the name after being in an endless discussion with a Feenyite friend ver babtism of blood and desire.


    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Saint Emerentiana
    Died c. 304
    Rome
    Feast January 23
    Attributes stones, lillies
    Patronage stomach problems
    Saint Emerentiana was a Roman martyr, who lived in the 3rd century.

    According to Christian hagiography, Emerentiana's mother was the wet nurse and nanny of Saint Agnes, a rich Roman heiress who was martyred after refusing her engagement due to her Christian religion. Emerentiana herself was a catechumen, still learning about Christianity before being officially baptized. Catholics believe martyrs are "baptized by blood," and otherwise go to heaven.

    A few days after Agnes' death, Emerentiana was caught praying by her tomb; upset upon the death of her best friend and foster sister, she claimed that she was a Christian as well and belittled the pagans who had killed Agnes, and was stoned to death by the crowd.

    Her feast day is 23 January, and she is represented as a young girl who either has stones in her lap and lillies in her hand, or is being stoned to death by a mob. Her tomb is at the Church of Saint Agnese in Rome.

    • I had just watched 'The Sound of Music' (or had I been looking at pictures of kittens or babies?) and was feeling warm and fuzzy, so it just made sense...

    • Mine's a little obvious, especially to Catholics, who all should have read their Tolkien.  :wink: It's also the name of my blog.

    By this name I mean to express my devotion to the Catholic faith, the perennial philosophy, monarchy, hierarchy, chivalry, property, the Occident, traditional gender roles and family organization -- in short, all the things which modernism set out to destroy.

    • '76 was the year I was born.  I was going to be named Raoul until my grandpa, at the last minute, suggested Mike.  I always found this funny, since the name Raoul seems like the worst choice possible for me.  I'm a pale skinny half-Polock rather than a swarthy Super Mario.  

    However, I have recently grown a kind of conquistador goatee and I'm looking pretty "Raoul."  

    Man of the West, are you Polish or Russian?  You are extremely Eastern European looking at least from what I can see in the small picture.

    Czech, actually. At least on my mother's side. I'm not really sure what my father's ancestry was.

    For what it's worth, others agree with you. I had a Russian professor once who recommended to me that I move to Russia. When I asked why, she told me that "I looked European, indeed Slavic, and would have no problems there." I guess it's pretty important in those climes.

    By the way, I don't want to take this discussion off topic, but I'd just like to say that I've greatly enjoyed reading your posts on the archived threads I've been perusing since joining here. Wonderful work.

    • Merci!  I read some of your blog also and I agree with most of what you say, except for the neo-con stuff which you may have retracted, I don't know.  You are certainly very intelligent and fun to read.

    Yes, you are very Slavic.  Every time I see your avatar I get some kind of blip of recognition, like it's me or someone in my family.  Actually, that's exactly what it is -- you look like a cross between me and my grandfather.  And the composer Glazunov, lol.  That is the Russian element.

    • My name is a product of my Japanese/Martial Arts culture fandom/participation when I was 16. But since I've grown out of it, it just doesn't seem to fit me anymore (even the avatar). If I could change my name I would pick something Gothic or Hispanic themed.

    • My name is obvious. I'm a tea lover. I've been drinking it since I was a little boy. I picked up the habit at my grandparent's house where my grandpa would have tea after dinner, so I had some too. I like to try various kinds. I dream of having a small shop where I could serve tea and coffee and it be exclusively Mystic Monk blends.

    Ah! A fellow professed tea lover! Glad to have you here!  :smile:

    I really started drinking tea in my late teens. I've been more of a tea collector rather than drinker since I was little.
