18/31--Blog Name
Meaning behind Blog Name:
Well I’m going to give the meaning behind both names. Or well two names. Since I have my blog name (my LJ name) and then my WDC name, I figured I’d do both of them.
shanachie_quill (my LJ name):
According to my sis—Shanachie is Gaelic for storyteller. I have never actually looked this up. Partially because I don’t want to, partially because I like the spelling and the way it looks. Besides my sis gave it to me so I’d probably use it anyway. So the “shanachie” comes from that. I am a storyteller. Even if I never official publish (I know bite my tongue or my fingers), I will always be a storyteller. The quill comes from always being fascinated by quill pens. I cannot write with them, but I love the looks of them and the idea. And I love the calligraphy that comes from them. Unfortunately I cannot use them because of the feathers. So it became part of my username when I switched over to a new name on LJ.
medievalgirl—my WDC name:
Which has actually been shortened to Medie (pronounced Mee-dee). I am fascinated by all things medieval in origin and fantasy. I actually belong to a medieval re-enactment group. So when I had to choose a name for the site that was the first thing that came into my mind. The girl was added because well I am a girl. (And has come in handy a few times because apparently I sound like a boy when chatting in scroll—the IM program on site.)
So that’s the story, nothing fascinating or special, but they both mean something to me.
