I used this because it is a name of a song,thus titled "blue on black." It is one of my favourites and holds a significance with me:rolleyes:

That's cool. I like the effects of the "x's" on either side, too! Who sings the song "Blue on Black" by the way?

Awww that's a nice story, Mongoose! I also have a cat who acts like a dog. He plays fetch and will walk on a leash. He is a 13 year old siamese, and I'm going to be very sad to lose him.

Aton3 is the latest variant of the name Aton, that I have used for the past four years on three other sites. I chose it for two reasons. The Aton represents the ONE God introduced by the Ancient Egyptian 'heretic' Pharaoh Akenaten... who conceived the idea of Monotheism long before the authors of the Penteteuch. It represents my life long interest in world religions and belief systems, and my life long love affair with Egypt... one of my areas of expertise. Will be happy to address any questions of Egypt.. ancient or modern.

Thanks Aton, that's really interesting. I always thought Zoroastrianism was the first religion to have monotheism. Anyway welcome, if I have any questions about Egypt I will definitely ask you! :)

Thanks, orange. Until Akenaten, ancient egyptians believed in a type of henotheism, one god over all the other gods. But Akenaton claimed there were NO other gods... Only ATON.

FR is an abbreviation for "Father" as when you address a priest:)

I thought I'd actually put me in my avatar. I'm the one on the bottom right by the way.

Hi !
Millie is short for Emilia - the way my family shortened it before I could speak. When I did I made it even shorter: mia
C - reading all the above posts: it the most banal possible-
The initial of my maiden name.
The avatar I "adopted" today - to remind MYSELF and whoever reads what I've posted, the real proportions of life.
(I guess I should do some thinking regrading the reason for choosing to present myself here with a name which brings me back to the beginning of my life!)
Millie

I like your avatar, Millie. It's infinity, right? Thanks for sharing. :)

aqua@home · May 5, 2006, 09:32 AM

Hi, I chose my user name because I love swim. Plus my birthday is in March and I'm always at home (unfortunately, not swimming). At least that's how it seems. LOL I don't have a picture yet, I just haven't found something I really want yet. I had to work on my signature first, now I can look for a picture. Very nice thread Chava!

orange · May 7, 2006, 06:47 PM

Thanks aqua... looking forward to seeing your avatar when you pick one! :)

valinors_sorrow · May 19, 2006, 05:27 PM

Okay, I'll bite! I have so enjoyed reading all the stories behind the id's. What a terrific idea, Chava!

The picture is of our two cats, Bill and Bob. Our one-hundred-mile-an-hour black lab dog Missy won't stand still long enough to get in the shot. We obviously love animals, including a 50 gallon aquarium we call "cat tv". :p

My name is a reference to the fictional land in the stories written by Tolkien that saw much sadness mostly, I believe, because the inhabitants couldn't or wouldn't learn the lesson.

Makes a small nervous curtsey now lol :o
