Regarding the choice of screen names,I am relatively new to collarme and had to think quite deeply what i should be known as.I rejected anything to do with lords or gods as I thought them pretentious and had no right to their use,not being a god or a lord,(although some family history research has found our branch of the family still holds the right to bear arms and has a coat of arms). I chose the name aneirin,because it is simply a name I like,and no one on here had it.When I googled the name,I found it was the name of a sixth century celtic bard ,but I am no bard,celtic ancestry though I do have,so I was happy with that. Some names I come across,names from religous beliefs,especially those relating to the belief in a dark or satanic belief I have to admit I stay clear of.Some of the more humourous names I have a chuckle at and think the owner is not taking life to seriously,which I like. At the end of the day,screen names are just names to identify ourselves on this site,a disguise of a sort,what happens in the cyber world,a fantasy world may not interfere with our true lives unless we choose,which is good in a way as people can live their dreams without fear of ridicule in the real world.
