I’m not sure about mine. I chose it when I saw I could be #10,000, and now I might want something more personal.
I’ve spotted a Newbie list and found these gems:
(I kind of like the long ones best.)

That batch should start people on some different lines!
evilbeth - I swear, I didn’t sleep for days trying to decide between Chicken of Bristol and Crunchy Frog. I used every deductive method of reasoning I could think of to decide between those two choices: I did eeny-meeny-minie-moe, I did one potato two potato, I flipped coins, I’m telling you I tried everything!
Then my GF said she liked Crunchy Frog better. That ended that.
So agisofia as you can see, Chicken of Bristol was not rejected, it was a tie broken only by someone who has no idea what either phrase means. I beg of you to choose Chicken of Bristol as your new username, only so evilbeth stops sending me all those hateful emails about me not choosing her suggested name. (She can really obsess about things!)
Of course, if you’re not a Monty Python fan, you can always choose to be known as ILuvCrunchyFrog
I like your name. It sounds like it is from a beautiful foreign language, Italian or Latin or something. It’s funny: I am politically liberal, but in my life I am resistant to change. Maybe it means I am getting old.

Constantina (sorry, but Constantine is a boy’s name. Ditto for Narses.) or, alternately, Constantia.
Constantinople
Attaturk
whatever the name of the chain across the Bosphoros was that protected Constantinople from seaward attack
Bodhi Seltzer
Theodora (seems like every third Byzantine empress was named Theodora)
Oh, and Narile-
I’ll have you know that the Byzantine Catholic Church I attend is in full communion with the See of Rome.
I’m also kicking around Thea Logica. What do y’all think of that one?

the chant types are the main ones used in slavic orthodox churches. they are named from the monasteries that originated them.
polyelei is one of my favourite parts of matins. it is greek meaning “much oil.” there is a very nifty tradition that goes with the singing of this hymn. back when oil lamps were all that were in the church, in frount of ikons, and the chandeliers, these were all lit during this part of matins, when the polyelei was started they would swing all the lamps so that oil would drip out amoung congregation. i would imagine that was quite a sight. my favourite version of this hymn is rachmaninoff’s.
prokov means protection, it is celebrated on oct 14th (oct 1st gregorian) a big feast day in the greek and slavic churches.
i had just gotten home from church when i saw your thread.
HA!!! You think that just because agisofia chooses Chicken of Bristol that the e-mails will stop? NEVER!! You don’t know what “obsess” means yet, honey! You can run but you cannot hide! MMMWAAA-HAAA-HAAA-HAAA!
