Please, before I ask to have my name changed, tell us more about that wonderful lady who inspired me to my current Doper name. If I remember right, several people have pretty much begged for stories about her back then, too!

Please? I’ll douse you in my perfume if yo’re not gonna tell stories. It said DOIR on it, and it cost 2 bucks. Oh, and I feel like opening a new carton of milk. Because, see, I like my coffee with some cow boob, but those other 23 cartons are all like, rancid. Ew! So I’ll leave them standing around and compensate for the smell with my lovely perfume! I also have crabs.
Heh.
Okay, here’s the scoop:
I
totally

up.
Sorry to disappoint you.
For those who, like me, don’t know what’s going in here - they’re talking about this thread.
Funny, I would have guessed this one.
Amber in Treasury, after reading the original story please tell me your new name will be as innanely cool as this one.
And he seems to have very little respect for her. (
(Thanks, Marley23, I had no friggin’ idea what this was all about.)
Missed the edit window.
Beaten to the punch!
Best non sequitur ever.
Yours is two weeks older, so you get the No Prize.
Did you mean to say inanely, innately or insanely?
What exactly did you make up? Just the name (changed to protect the cheap-perfume addicted…) or the whole Amber character? By the way, my name’s Sonja, I’ve never worked in treasury, and I like to wear Angel by Thierry Mugler.
As for the name changing, I’m not yet sure if I want it. If so, I’ll probably have it changed to something related to my lantern/outdoor-lighting geekiness. But for now, I’ll stick with Amber in Treasury.
Some perfume makers have the option of naming their creation after themselves. Others… not so much.
I think Amber in Treasury is an awesome name but you do whatever fits.
Me too, which is why I think I’m keeping it after all.
[spoiler]1. Re keeping the name: Cool. 
2. On the earlier question, there is indeed a woman here who gave me the basics of the characterization: too much perfume, clumsy flirtatious attitude which comes off as slatternly (even though that’s not her intent), marginal competence in her job (and irritating defensiveness regarding same), and so on. She’s who I had in mind, but her name isn’t Amber, she doesn’t work in Treasury, and it’s not a perfect match. Mostly, I just liked the sound of it. I hope this doesn’t make me another James Frey.
3. Did I mention, “cool”?[/spoiler]
Okay, thanks Cervaise.
