What's in a name?

[greyias]

Uh oh... I just got a Dreamwidth invite code (yay for the lottery!), but I'm faced with a new dilemma. The user name "grey" is still open at Dreamwidth. Do I become a bland color, or keep my strange and unique, but probably confusing to pronounce "greyias"?

I've never had any trouble spelling your name, since you use the right vowel for me! Although I know it looks right to you, "gray" will never look like the right spelling of the colour to me ;)

I took the chance to drop my annoying numbers - I tend to go by 'Jades' or 'Jadesfire' where possible anyway, and I haven't come across another in fandom yet. But I like 'Greyias'. It's a nice shape in my head :)

You can blame my brother for that one ;) When I was eight I needed a handle for a BBS Door Game we liked to play, but my brother refused to let me use the keyboard (the jerk). For some reason he used the British spelling. So the 'e' has always been my 'name', while the 'a' has always been the color to me.

Aww, but I liked your annoying numbers. But I haven't come across another Jadesfire either, so you're probably safe.
