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."

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)
