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"?

Hand over that code! :D

Seriously, stay with greyias. How else will we know it's you?

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 :)

No "flip a coin" option? (heh)

That's a challenge. Myself, I've finally given in and started self-identifying with the numbers in my username; it's easiest to stay the same everywhere. I met you here, so you're "greyias" or "grey lupous" to me ... but I don't know any other greys to confuse you with!

So: beats me, dude. Then again, I never did know how to pronounce "greyias" .... :>
