    I chose my name from a book by Tom Robbins [new]. In particular, I think, Another Roadside Attraction. I haven't read the book in close to 5-7 years but there is a reference to a gathering of women or is it a girl who belongs to the David Crocket and Hotlemonade Society or some such thing. If you don't know or haven't read anything by Tom Robbins then you might think him strange and by all accounts you'd probably be right. BTW, he is my favorite fictional author. For those interested in his books here is a list.

    • Even Cowgirls Get The Blues
    • Another Roadside Attraction
    • Still Life With Woodpecker
    • Jitterbug Perfume
    • Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas
    • Skinny Legs and All
    • Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates

    I think a new one is going to be hitting the bookstores soon too.

      but i am not sure if it has been discussed. that is the memeber name. i found that is very interesting. the name may have some special meanings, and maybe have markings according to countries or families. many many things can result from it. my name "zhoujun" is my true name and also is a very popular name in China. yesterday i see a name "peterchen",it is quite likely that he has some relations with china because "chen" is special character in chinese.but i noticed that because i am a chinese,other people will not pay attention to it. give us your story about the names. that will interest us all/ ;) ;)

        my name is my name, i go by the nick zyxil. it doesn't really mean anything, i like the pheneticization of it: zik - szil, it has the hard z with the hard k, and then the open z with a long l, kinda like that berthold brecht (spell?) novel s/z (pronounced ess - zed. but, i made it up for the same reasons as benjymous, it isn't in most directories. -John

                    My closest relation to china is that I very much like the food that the vietnamese sell here as "chinese". And a friend of mine goes on regular vacations in China. That's it ;)

                        Don't worry, many people think that - it's just a modification of my 1st name. BTW what does "Chen" mean in chinese?
