What's In A Name?

There are names which evoke poetry (like Maya or Serena)  or music (e.g. Layla) or majesty. There are tags which speak strength and honor (see Diana Prince!).  Also too, mystery and big brains. HELLO Cleopatra Jones. How ya doin’ Scheherazade?

What does the name Donna bring to mind? Mid western housewives, married at 20 to boring sots who aspire to car salesmanship. A thrilling vaca is Disney World and radical derring-do would be Universal’s Islands of Adventure.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!


Yes, I am once again considering a name change. I need something that inspires wonder, strength – possiby awe.

Stella Galaxy?
Ruby Ocean?
Maple Sequoia ?

OR, I could go with a name like Cat (short for Catastrophic) Climate, and be a cheery yet ominous harbinger of the planet’s demise. Doubt I’d get many party invites but, hey, I’m not much of a social butterfly anyway.

Got any suggestionsfor a fresh handle?
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose

By any other name would smell as sweet.
~ Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
