My screenname on this site,
Isla, has a simple reason--it's my favorite girl's name.
Part of my email address,
Juanita, is sort of a nn I have in real life. It's my mother's mn and my sister, who was 13 when I was born, was set on naming me
Juanita Marie (My name is
Heather, btw). I DO NOT look like a
Juanita, so it's kind of a funny, ironic nn. My best friend and I sign our emails to each other with nn's--mine is
Juanita and hers is
Irene (because her parents almost named her
Irene Rowena).
