I've been wondering for some time where everyone came up with the idea for their site names. So, where did ya'll get your names? I'll start with mine. Albero is Italian for tree. It worked wonderfully when I was a dryad, but now Berry is better. 😀

Google Translate is lovely. 😀 (except when it says "pretty" in Latin is "bellum." "Bellum" means "war." :mrgreen:

There's a bit of a story with my name. In my preteens/early teens, I read a book in which there was a Jewish lady who explained that her name "Ariel" meant "lioness of God". That random factoid tucked itself away into the recesses of my mind. When I started getting into Narnia, I started associating myself with that name because I 1) loved the meaning, 2) loved the name, 3) thought it would fit in with Narnia (lioness of God... Aslan is a lion... lioness of Aslan... that's something of how the thought process went).
I don't remember if I first used "Ariel_of_Narnia" as a secondary e-mail or on NarniaWeb first. If the e-mail, then I used the underscores so it wouldn't look all nasty as one word. If on NarniaWeb, then for "coolness" factor, I suppose. And then I found TLC. 😀 And now I use it here, on fanfiction, on Squeaky Clean Reviews, in a tertiary e-mail as well as one that I never use, my graphics "blog", photobucket, and maybe a couple more places. And I use a variant, "Ariel Knight", on facebook and deviantart.

I got my name from a story I wrote a while ago. I first started off writing about a wolf king named Tazar and then I wrote about his brother Rikaution (Riku). Riku was a wolf king and his daughter's name was Gypsevedius. Gypsevedius was a very strong, stubborn, and mischievous princess wolf. (and even though I'm a unicavvey and not a wolf, I still like the name) :D.

Well my sisters, brother and I made up 3-letter nicknames for each other, and Shi was mine. So I think it was on NarniaWeb when I first called myself ShiofNarnia. 🙂

I was running around outside one day, and all of a sudden I thought,Hey, I bet God's girl forever would be a good new FanFiction username! Well, it turned out that someone else already had that one, so I used Jesus' girl 4ever instead. Well, by the time I joined TLC, I had added some stories to the fan creations section already with that username, so, even though I had changed my FF name by then, I used this one on here to limit confusion.

I really have no idea. I was just on Narniaweb and was like..."always narnian." It has been years and years and years since I made it up!

Hahaha, I'm with Ann! I don't remember how I came up with narniagirl11, nor is it very creative. I used it first on FanFiction. I do know that I chose 11 because that's the number I use for everything. Now I use narniagirl11 for just about everything.

"Elanorelle" is a pet name of Elanor that Samwise used in the epilogue of Lord of the Rings (which can be found in the History of Middle-Earth I believe). Well I decided to use it because 1.) it looked nice and sounded nice to me 2.) I liked LotR (Samwise being my favourite character). I'd probably use it elsewhere too, just to be consistent. 🙂
