I seriously need to switch internet providers, because my current is shit.
The problem? I need a name for my account with the new provider, and indecision is causing me to procrastinate.
I actually need 3 names, as they provide 3 email accounts. Anyway, feel free to offer up any suggestions, relevant, serious, irrelevant, irreverent — it doesn't matter.
I'm just hoping the process will help unstick my valves or something, or strengthen my resolve to commit.
I've ignored the name apophenia, as I don't want a privacy breech caused by internet persona and ISP account having the same name. And while I'm fond of Vajraghosa, I don't think I'm a Vajraghosa.
I have thought of using Kadesha. Kadesha is a variant spelling of Qaddesha or Qaddeshim, which in the bible is interpreted as referring to the temple prostitutes of other religions. (I'm told that the Hebrew actually simply means 'holy', and could just be a reference to priests of those religions — I rather like that duality.)
Anyway, let her rip. What names should I use?
Or to add some geek spice, share some of your own, such as machine names. (My current machine names are Rusalka and Kore; with Gjallarhorn, Nimue, Lilith and Ophelia being retired.)
