What's in a name?

[CCBlue]

Hi all,

I am curious as to why we have all called ourselves by our user names / Nation States names and thought I would share my reason in the hope that other 10000 islanders would share their reasons also.

So why CCBLUE? Well CC as its two of my initials and BLUE as its my favourite colour.

[Japanese Holland]

Just the same as my nation name

[CCBlue]

But why did you chose Japanese Holland as your NS user name? Apologies if my wording was unclear.

[Japanese Holland]

oh, well I am from Holland and I show a lot of interest in Japanese Culture so I just mixed the two together and got Japanese Holland.

[CCBlue]

Thank you Japanese Holland.

[Ayunli]

cause Ayunli is a Cherokee word and I'm part Cherokee

< Bob Dylan fan.

[MinnaCaroline]

Minna is my first name and Caroline is my old middle name from before I got married. And that's the truth.

I was named after my Great Grandmother Minna and my Great Aunt Caroline. I always loved Caroline and I hated to give it up but I really didn't want 4 names. So when I joined NS I figured I could use it here and no one would ever be the wiser.

[Echolilia]

My nation was inspired by this fabulous book: Arm in Arm: A Collection of Connections, Endless Tales, Reiterations, and Other Echolalia by Remy Charlip

[La Vida De Sangre]

I just made it up.

[Thanya]

Same here. Just a word I threw together and I liked the way it sounded.

[Pom Ariel]

My dog is named Ariel... she's a pomeranian
And so, we have the Commonwealth of Pom Ariel ;D

[Free Guns For All]

I just wanted a funny name.

[Echolilia]

And you succeeded!
