Basically, all it means is that I'm a huge geek. I LOVE names- baby names, character names, new names, classic names, naming trends and how they differ with regional, cultural and socio-economic differences... I could go on. One of my favourite things is hearing someone's real name, whether it's here on YLF or at my part-time job, and I get really excited when I run into someone with an interesting name.</p> <p>Oh, and Laura, Ele is my real name, sort of. Really I'm Eleanor, which I do go by sometimes, but almost everyone knows me as Ele- even my boss and my doctor! Ele is pronounced the same as Ellie but I dislike that spelling and get offended if someone uses it I think I was four years old when I told my parents "If Ele is the first part of Eleanor then we're going to spell it like that, too" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laura65-is-now-laura#post-159319 Fri, 21 May 2010 01:40:33 +0000 Laura 159319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HI Laura! I'm also a Laura....there might be some more too! It really is a common name. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laura65-is-now-laura#post-159233 Thu, 20 May 2010 22:55:57 +0000 Kristen 159233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You will always be 65 to me! ;-D </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laura65-is-now-laura#post-159194 Thu, 20 May 2010 22:14:02 +0000 Inge 159194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(I think Ele might be referring to one of the Myers-Briggs personality types, correct me if I'm wrong here;-)</p> <p>Pleased to meet you Laura sans 65;-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laura65-is-now-laura#post-159098 Thu, 20 May 2010 19:36:39 +0000 Mac 159098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, Ele - what does NE mean? Neato Ele? Nifty Elegance? Nice Extrovert?</p> <p>Goodbye, Laura65. I'll miss you and your saucy dresses. Hello, Laura: can't wait to see what you post : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laura65-is-now-laura#post-159086 Thu, 20 May 2010 18:47:47 +0000 Laura 159086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ele, what's an NE? I've always known a couple of Lauras ... it's one of those names that's never super popular but never completely out of style, either. Is your real name Ele? My neighbor's name is Elle and I think it's a killer stylish name.</p> <p>Rosie, LOL, I do feel more like myself -- happy sigh!</p> <p>Don't worry Angie, I will always use a photo of myself ... since YLF is a popular place for Lauras to hang out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laura65-is-now-laura#post-159079 Thu, 20 May 2010 18:36:13 +0000 Rosie 159079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, do you feel more like yourself now that you've claimed your identity? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laura65-is-now-laura#post-159061 Thu, 20 May 2010 17:22:46 +0000 Ele 159061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow LE, I'm surprised to hear that. I know lots of Lauras growing up- and always thought it was such a pretty name. But naming trends are regional of course, so maybe you're just not in a "Laura" pocket. </p> <p>Sorry I'm veering off-topic here. But I'm a huge NE so name-related discussions always draw me in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laura65-is-now-laura#post-159055 Thu, 20 May 2010 17:03:15 +0000 taylor 159055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We are lucky to have you no matter what the name!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laura65-is-now-laura#post-158971 Thu, 20 May 2010 14:24:37 +0000 Anonymous 158971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've never met other Lauras until this forum - I had to tack my middle name on to keep things straight when I first joined the forum because other variations were taken, but have shortened it completely now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laura65-is-now-laura#post-158962 Thu, 20 May 2010 14:09:50 +0000 Angie 158962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great! There is another Laura so be sure to comment logged in so that we can see your pretty face and perfect nose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laura65-is-now-laura#post-158941 Thu, 20 May 2010 12:54:43 +0000 Laura 158941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no queenie, I *am* that old. Still being a goofball at heart, that probably shines through in my posts and makes me seem younger </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laura65-is-now-laura#post-158938 Thu, 20 May 2010 12:49:51 +0000 Queen Mum 158938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought at first it was the year she was born, but I'm not sure that's the case because I'm not sure you're that old :-)</p> <p>(coming from me who "am" that old </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laura65-is-now-laura#post-158937 Thu, 20 May 2010 12:48:03 +0000 Laura 158937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, good point Anne, it's not like there are 65 Lauras on YLF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laura65-is-now-laura#post-158936 Thu, 20 May 2010 12:46:59 +0000 anne 158936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always wondered what the 65 referred to! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laura65-is-now-laura#post-158934 Thu, 20 May 2010 12:45:32 +0000 Laura 158934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks to Maya's thread I decided to lay claim to the name "Laura." </p> <p>No kitties in my household (ah-choo!! allergies!) so my avatar will remain the same - my photo.</p> <p>This ends my public service announcement. </p>
