Ideas

Hello all. :)

I was thinking the other day about starting a sort of registry for system names. I haven't seen any two systems with the same name yet, but it might be a good idea to have a regularly updated list somewhere, to try to prevent this from happening. Not that it would be a disaster if two systems had the same system name, but it would be good for systems looking for a new name--partially to give ideas but mostly so they know which ones to avoid. Does anyone think this would be a good idea? If so, does anyone have a website they could host it on? If not, I probably can; I'm just not very computer literate so if someone more capable can do this, everyone would be better off.

Also, I've been longing for some sort of subtle symbol to wear out in public to identify ourselves as multiple. Like the rainbow used by the gay community, or the parrot sometimes used by the poly community. Something like a pin of a winged toaster. ;) I know ideas for a universal symbol of multiplicity have been batted back and forth for a long time; I'd like to actually get something started that can be worn by all of us daily, a kind of badge of pride. What do you think?

For the record, we're the same -- Astraea is an online handle, not who-we-are (that would be "Laurad people") and we don't think of ourselves as a system, just say that online for shortness & clarity.

We still tend to call you kah-ZEE-yah if we aren't careful, and according to Gabe, your name is pronounced Jenny Lee, even though he knows it isn't. He has to stop himself calling you that. He does call people by both their names a lot -- he never addresses jason as anything but Jason Lee, for instance, or his cousin Emma is Emma Jane. Either that or he calls you by your middle name (he calls jade "Alice") or makes up a cute off-the-wall nickname for you.

Jenny Lee, huh? :smile: The "i" is silent. It's actually said "Jenlee". :) Though he probably already knows. My middle name is Isabelle, and I'm not too fond of being called that. :laugh:
