Alright I've got my account invitation courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] misstopia (see I failed to confirm my email address with my OpenID account, which is why I never recieved anything, hah!)

However I'm still flailing trying to think of new user name for that account. So poll time it is!

[Poll #1393636]

By the way I do plan on using my DW account a lot. Basically I'm planning on splitting my livejournal. Fan-related content, reviews and fanworks and the like will go to the DW accounts. I'll keep my LJ for journaling stuff about my personal life, and I'll make it friend only. So yeah, I'll make my DW account as followable as possible even from LJ though.

I like Antigone, but every choice has its reason to be :-D Actually bartenderinthedark made lol IRL, but people might misinterpret it and think you're serious about it, lol. With HP fandom, you never know!

I did not really consider using bartenderinthedark, I guess I just wanted to share the lol :D

A couple thoughts: "Salinea" is pretty, but I will bet you that it will get misspelled a gajillion times (I run into that problem with "mechaieh" all the time). If you pick anything with two or more words, try to avoid putting a space between the two, because that also messes people up who are trying to point to you (I very nearly went with just "ribbons" instead of "bronze_ribbons" because of that, but ended up keeping things the same as my LJ/IJ handle for consistency).

(And now that I think of it, if I were ever to pick a completely new nom, I'd be awfully tempted to go with "Mais," since it seems that I'm always saying "But..." Is there a conjunction that calls out to you? ;-) )

ooh wise advice.

Btw, people mispell Etrangere alrady pretty often (Estrangere is very common, and does make sense etymologically speaking XD), I can't see how Salinea would be more complicated than that. I see what you mean about the two names. I often need to check when typing someone's double name to remember if they use an underline, a dash, or just stick the two names together. (I don't think I ever had any hard time remembering mechaieh though)

I was always very fond of "Nevertheless" cuz I think it sounds cool. Should I add it to the poll? XD

Antigone!

(But I'm slightly biased because my dreamwidth username is Andromache.)

Oh lol. I'm having exactly the same problem right now XD Most of everything that comes to mind is taken already and the rest...I'm not sure about.

Salinea sounds very pretty and the (sort of) "backwards spelling" thing makes me think of Sarella, which is quite fitting for you ;) ...but Salinea also makes me think of saline solutions, and I just don't associate you that closely with NaCl, so I opted for Antigone or "just keep Etrangere" :)

Sorry :((
I was really surprised, too, 'cos it's not that common a username, I would expect...

At least "salinea" and "atigone" are still free?

You could, you know, ask the DW etrangere if you could have the name - and then give her your code for a new account.

Or you could be mlle_etrangere. Or la_etrangere. Or anne_elisa. :)

Well, it's not like I didn't want to change my name in the first place.

It was Etrange.
