Mine is a dear pooch I had years ago, I called her Snork Stonky.

She was a Lurcher - (greyhound cross) and such a loyal precious girl. She had been brutally abused before I found her at the pound. They were about to shoot her as she was such a mess.

She was with me for 13 wonderful years - my studio hound (I am a photographer) she went everywhere with me.

She was put to sleep of old age related illness about 7 years ago and I still miss her.

I 've said mine before but I'll say it again. add Bellastina to the end of any name and it sounds like a fairytale name. My husband adds it to the end of my name. He says it like I'm his fairytale princess. Yeah....he makes me feel like a princess most of the time:)

My first name is Angel, and my middle name is Elaine. The meaning of Elaine is "light." So... I combined my first name with the meaning of my middle name: angelite.

My name is from the legendary Sicillian rebel Santiago Giuliano (but I spelt it wrong). I've used it for years. Having read a few books about him I admired his passion, courage and determination in fighting against the Mafia and corruption in his homeland, so I stole his name.

My name comes from the Roman legion Legio XII Fulminata. It translates approximately to "wielder of the thunderbolt".

My screen name is something my mom used to call me when I was a kid. She also called me "Nicky Poo," but that one I don't share in public.
