Help[Opinions] LOL
in reply to a message by Christa S.
Thank you! It's just my screenname, so I guess you could say I named myself. ;o) Unless you're talking about my real name, Korrine, which is related to how I chose my screenname, so I'll tell you both stories.
I'm adopted, and while my bio-mom was pregnant w/me, she & her sister nicknamed me "Corrine" after a character on the 70's tv series "Soap" who was adopted. She made no mention of what my nn was in any of the legal papers. When my parents adopted me, they had also watched the series "Soap" and liked the name Corrine. However, they decided to spell it "Korrine." About 2 years ago, I was contacted by my birth mother and told all this. Since then, I've discovered that my ancestry is mostly Welsh. Cambria is another name for Wales as Erin is another name for Ireland, so I chose Cambria as my screenname. :o)
So, there's the story. Pretty sweet, huh? :op
