My name has been changed from Jacquernagy to Lamoral

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

My name has now been changed.

In case anyone was wondering where “Jacquernagy” came from, it came from a dream. I was walking past a beautiful park and the sign at the front of the park said “Jacquernagy Park.” As far as I know that name/word does not exist in real life, though Jacque is a name (usually with an S at the end) and Nagy is in fact a Hungarian surname.

In any case, I’d rather use a name that’s less weird/confusing, so my name is now Lamoral.

Thanks Jonathan Chance for affecting this change.

FYI: I actually contemplated trying to talk him into letting me pull off a ridiculous Ship Of Theseus-style prank where I changed one letter of my name at a time every few months until it was an entirely different name, but thought the better of it.

Which letter would you have changed first?

3

What is the origin of Lamoral?

4

In a dream of mine, it was a brand of shampoo.

5

French?

6

Looks to me like a falindrome.

“… effecting this change …”

Criminey.

Nice site, thanks!

Joke first: Shampoo brand in a dream? :eek: Wow product placement is getting really aggressive.:smiley:
Serious second: Name change noted:)carry on:D:cool:

Having a name that starts with Lacquer would actually be kind of interesting. :slight_smile:

11

Technically, he could have done both. :slight_smile:

FutilityCloset rocks! Especially notable as the competition — coughCecilAdamscough — just closed up shop an hour ago. :slight_smile:

You can read in your dreams? This is unusual. I can’t do anything in my dreams, and nothing ever works.

14

I read in my dreams as well. I’ve heard some say that you can’t read in your dreams, but I have no idea where that idea comes from. Most people I’ve talked to about dreams seem to be able to read fine. Now getting a phone to work properly or dialing a phone number or not getting a busy signal when I dial 911–that’s a skill I haven’t mastered in Dreamland.

15

L’Amoral - “The Amoral One”. A good shampoo name? :slight_smile:

16

I can read in my dreams, but if I look away the text changes when I look back.

ETA: 500th post 1 year member this month. :smiley:

17

Oh.

18

Funny enough, that’s how I parsed the old name and pronounced it “ZHOCK-er-nawdge” in my head whenever I saw it.

19

Lamoral is, indeed, an actual name.

I don’t believe the proper translation for it is “the amoral one”, not unless you add an apostrophe that the name doesn’t actually have.
