Rivkah is the same name as Rebecca-- Rivkah is Hebrew, and Rebecca is Anglicized.

So I would be The First Mrs. De Winter.

Mine would be Andrew 152nd St. Unless you could some temporary pets we had before Andy (people on sabbatical). Then it would be Hilda Valentina 152nd St.

Now see here, my good man. I will not be mocked.

Dammit.

I dunno. I got this username because everything I thought of was already taken, and I had a wee temper tantrum at the system for continuing to tell me I couldn’t have the name(s) I tried.

Sarchasm, maybe? Except I’m sure it’s already taken.

**Verminthrax**. I’m occasionally tempted to get it changed, especially when people mistake me for a nazi. Which hasn’t happened here I don’t think.
