unusual
well its quite unusual but ive always loved the named Gayatri pronouced 'guy-a-tree'. I heard it once somewhere seemed so sexy to me.
Can the subaltern speak?
I can't resist making this a Spivak moment. :-) Suffice it to say, I once had the honor of meeting a particular Gayatri and she's decidedly unsexy in person.

Another idea... My step-fathe
Another idea... My step-father's people, the Klallam Nation, have a legend about one of the Olypic Mountains and how it was originally a woman named "Nekita" (pron. nuh-KEE-tuh) (the story comes from the fact that the mountain resembles a woman lying flat on her back if you look at it from a distance). If I ever had a daughter, that's what I would name her.
Today in one of my classes, I caught a girl sleeping and addressed her as "Our Lady of Peaceful Slumber." How 'bout that one? Or simply "Olops" (pron. OH-lops) for short?
OOoo I like!
OOoo I like!

If I didn't have a name, how
If I didn't have a name, how could I identify myself? If I had no name, who would I be?
Names are important. My name is my life! It is how I identify myself. It is how others identify me. The more insight I have into the powerful influence of my name, the greater opportunity I have to enjoy the success I am capable of achieving.
Oh dear. Chief Political

For example *Leisa's* mental
For example *Leisa's* mental characteristics can be read from the numerical formula representing your name, just as the characteristics of a chemical compound can be read from its chemical formula. My 'real' name is yet to be formulated, hence the need for a list of names.
How about..
Lexi? ;D
Uh-huh.
I like Lexi.
