Yey! Here’s the first batch of submissions for The Name Project.

Entries
The Name Project Submission by Valdz
What’s in a Miii by michan
My Names by Renee
Name Project by Daisy
What’s in a Name? by juzblue

The Name Project: Sarah Pauline by me!

Observations
All the entries for this batch are really good reads, in my opinion. Valdz went deep into the meaning of his names. (I also would like to mention that he’s the first to join!) Michan shared all her web nicks, all similar yet unique at the same time. Renee blogged about all her names in the known universe. Daisy told us how she became the girl who is “twice a princess”. And juzblue narrated how her web nick was formed.

There’s another entry that I especially liked, but one of the rules was not followed, so I’ll save that cool post for a later batch.

Heeheeehee. Entries came in slower than I expected, but that’s fine. I found that a lot of my friends wanted to try it, but either (a) are shy that they don’t know the origin of their name, (b) are shy about their name, (c) don’t want to disclose their name, or the history of it, or (d) just tired or lazy to make the post. Hehe. As I said, though, there’s no deadline to this. So if you’re inclined to join, you can do so anytime.

Winner
Although I liked all of them (I’m being honest here, I swear), I have to pick a winner, as I had promised so in the contest rules. Hehe.

My personal favorite is Renee’s post. Here’s an excerpt:

Renee: Internet po.
Someone: Name mo?
Renee: Renee po.
Someone: Jenny?
Renee: Renee.

After I go the PC I’ll be using, it would either have Leny or Reny as the logged in user. Mali pa rin.

What I loved about her entry is that, for each and every name and nickname she disclosed, there came a funny anecdote connected to it. It’s such a fun read! Read it, read it. It’s amusing, even if you don’t know her. Heck, I know her personally, yet I didn’t know any of the stories she shared. Thanks, Renee!

Join it!
If you wrote an entry, but have not notified me (and you want to be linked), just post a comment on the project mechanics page (or here), or email me… or something. Hehe. Just contact me so I can check your post. ^_^
