what is in a name?

Posted by beladona Memorial on February 2nd, 2008

There has been some conversation about how we choose what last name we are using in world — I know that I just kept scrolling down until I found one that struck me as interesting and that is how I became “Memorial”. I cannot tell you why I liked that name, I just did!

At SLNameWatcher you can see current names that are listed, find out how many people share your last name, join a group to be alerted when a desired last name is available [did you know that retired names are sometimes made available again?], or find out information on a retired names. Turns out that Memorial only has been used 115 times to date and was last available on 3JUN07 for about a half hour

makes the idea of a family reunion much more plausible — and I already know two members of my family!

    Thanks for the link. 27,291 avatars actually used my last name. When I arranged the list in order of descending occurence the names right on top there are really names I bump into a lot: the Aabyes, the Amats and all the Haxes.
